Tech Art Hw06 Engine Animation

This week in Tech Art class, We learn about retarget animation. Basically, it means transfer animation from one character to a different character. I use the character I rigged from hw4 and I did a calisthenic animation on him. I transfer the animation to another character which is provided by our teacher. I also retarget some provided animation to these characters. Here is my characters doing weird movement.

HW05 Blue Print

In tech art class, we learn about blue print in Unreal engine. I created 2 blue print classes for week 5 assignment. One is a treasure box that would glow as you press key "G". The other is a furnace. When player get close to it, the fire on top would light up. I also set up the environment in the scene using provide assets.
