Back to the grind! Will be working on getting animations and setting them up for our character. T-Pose just isn't cutting it.

After a little break to get my brain running correctly, we are back! I talked to some other game devs and they all said just jump in and learn along the way, so here we go!

We are back with more C++ learning before diving into unreal. I think I am getting a better grasp on C++ in general which should help me with unreal.

Want to learn C++, not only for unreal and making my game but for cyber security as well. I know a little but think it is time to get back into it.

Decided to take a step backward and look at crouching again as I found some nice animations that I like. Also like how it moves so let's check it out.

Figured out the issue I was having with the character so time to keep moving forward. Crouching and getting the animations to look better maybe?
