Unreal - Week 4 -- Friday

As I work through the weekend on Unreal in my spare time, I am going to focus as much on the animation (and cinematic) aspect of Unreal and the Fellowship videos as I possibly can going forward. I am currently reviewing how to create and edit control rigs so that I can fully comprehend how to make custom animations with control rigs. I have been working on a custom walk cycle, but it still needs a lot of polishing before I would like to show it off.

Something that makes me feel slightly concerned is how the control rig--when attached to a bone in the skeleton of my character--will be so far away from the body in the preview. I will have to conduct more research through the videos from the Fellowship to understand the root of this, but it is not of major importance, and it does not seem to be impeding my progress for the moment, but I thought I should mention it in case anyone who sees this blog might have an explanation.

My pitch presentation went really well. I hope that everything I planned for my final project goes well, and that the process for it all goes swimmingly. I will provide a polished version of this presentation in a later post with more of my own clips and screenshots as I work on my final project. Slides below:

Unreal - Week 2 -- Tuesday

I spent this day training more with Unreal’s sequencer tool. I have learned a fair amount on how to create different shots. I have completed 1 of the 3 sequences I shall present later on. I also looked back at some of the videos from our Unreal Fellowship for better reference.

Unreal - Week 4 -- Saturday

Today has been more difficult to squeeze in some time for animation practice in Unreal. Having multiple projects to finish this weekend for my Visual Effects and Digital Drawing courses, as well as a Midterm exam for my Music in Film and Games course to study has held me back a little. That said, I was able to continue work on my animation today, and I am getting better at animating skeletons in the preview.
