Main Character Animation

So after some discussion with the art team, we have decided to animate the legs separate from the body of the main character and add the top half in the code. Here is a still of our animation working in our model viewer.

The characters that have now been completed now have the rigs fully attached. Stay tuned for some animation on Tuesday.

Waiting on Assets

At this point with our animation, we are trying to figure out a way to have our character swivel while the player is running. The most intuitive way the art team has come up with is to animate the character's legs only and then put the torso on top of it in the code. I may just be animating a pair of legs from now on. Kind of makes my job easier in a way although I fear we may have problems using this method in the future. Just waiting on some finished models now. Then I can weight them and animate them.

Gettin back into it

I definitely neglected to update this earlier this week. After the long break it will be great to get back into working on the animations. The key for our team now is to finalize our pipeline so that we have no trouble adding new animations.
