Week 10 of UE5 animation

 Today i started of by fixing the animation playing at double speed and set it back to normal play rate



Next i used parent constraints to parent an AK-47 Prop onto the models right and left wrist.


Then i re-applied all of the mats to the model
I then added a small animated point light to the end of the AK to simulate muzzle flash, i will work on actual particles some other time.

Today i would of added the other character into the scene but it looks like it corrupted when exporting it from my main pc, so ill have to reexport it tomorrow from my main pc.

The engine provides many advantages such as MetaHuman character creator and a very powerful lighting engine which is capable of calculating shadow maps, Raytracing, Realtime reflections and SSR all in realtime which would save alot of time when rendering the final clip. However this would be a much bigger learning curve compared to using Blender since i have alot less experience with Unreal Engine compared to blender. Substance Painter Substance Painter is a 3D texturing software which i have great knowledge

Week 10/11 of UE 5 animation

 Today i uploaded the original swat police officer BLEND file so i could edit the model and potentially fix it. After i made some changes to the model, i exported it and overrided the corrupted models, then merged the motion capture data onto the swat model. And finally after about an hour of troubleshooting, fixing and crashing, i finally got the SWAT model into the scene!
