I've finally gotten around to editing a demo of the locomotion system I developed at nDreams, hurrah!!

7/7
• I was the Sole Mocap performer, and I created all animations in the system you see in this video

6/7
• Specific Patrol stop transitions - had to create stop turns for every angle and footfall. placing these in a BlendSpace to allow any angle to stop meant creating very coordinated anims to blend well together
5/7
• System had to work without the aid of real-time IK - had to be very careful with cross blending various animations, and weapon holding
4/7
• Works on controller or mouse + keyboard
• This is the base system which was then used for AI driven characters in Phantom. Other systems which would play on top of this - upper body aim offsets for shooting/look at, and Idle additive layers for Patrol behaviour
3/7
• Shared transition logic using conduits for optimization
• Creating natural and responsive turn on spot system to play well with start walk/run transitions
• Once this was AI driven, there was more lenience in this area compared to being player controlled
2/7
• Root Motion based – utilising animation transitions such as starts, turn on spot, walk, run - all cross blend-able either with state logic or in BlendSpaces
• Varied transition rules for things like stopping from different phases of a start, or movement cycle
1/7
• Built with UE4 for VR Game, ‘Phantom: Covert Ops’ (NPC Characters)
• Utilising Anim Sync markers – for state transitions and within BlendSpaces

Why do I care if other schools lie about “unlimited” feedback?
Because they’re lying to you, students, not me. I at least know they’re lying.
Here’s what to check:
- Do you have to keep paying to receive the feedback?
- Is it 7 days a week?
My Beginner class with truly unlimited feedback:
- You pay once, feedback to completion of the work, however long it takes
- I work 7 days a week, I reply with feedback within 24-48 hrs.
Anyone else claiming “unlimited” is being dishonest.
Animation is tough enough without having to navigate a minefield of dishonesty in a school’s promises.
If you want to learn from me, great, if not, also great. I just want you to have all the information for an informed decision.
Happy animating!

Hi people a little gameplay animation breakdown over here🧵
I record all my steps of my last commission, I thought it may inspire someone or bring a little bit of light into gameplay animation.
Retweets are a huge help 🙏 #indiegames #animation #UnrealEngine5
