I built state machine for idle/ run/ stop. Still rough but fun to share! 🎮
Do you know good resources to learn UE specially AnimBP? ✍️

P.s: I changed UE editor splash 😎

Made a fan teaser for our D&D campaign: using game map, and some carefully chosen YouTube footage to capture the world's cold, eerie vibe. ❄️

I'm ready to take freelance editing projects too! Trailers, teasers,SM content for games 🎮

Today I animated a walk cycle and two idle anims.
This is my personal adventure as a gameplay animator and a lifelong #DragonQuest fan in UE.

🎮 Dream Quest devlog: Prologue 🐉
After months of learning and growing, I looked at my Dream Quest project and knew I could do so much better. So here I go: rebuilding everything from scratch, with more skill and heart.

Ever gone back to an old wip and instantly wanted to redo everything? 🥲

After 2 months, I opened this file, looked at the first pose and thought:
"Naw... I don't want my anim to start with this pose."

So I created a new layer and tried a new pose!

At first I thought walk cycles needed expressive faces and camera movement to show personality. But over time, I realized that motion itself is the key to a character's identity.

I wanted to try a walk cycle while adding a bit of acting to it. It was a fun challenge that pushed me out of my comfort zone!
Huge thanks to @keyojimbo.bsky.social for his amazing guidance and notes, and to my animator colleagues for their feedback!

1 hour anim challenge

Tried to recreate an old anim in 1 hour and it's not polished but I think I'm improved somehow 🤔
