Common Art VR Week 5

For this week, I worked on fixing the skin weights for our character Peter Porker and cleaning/smoothing out the animations, trying to make them loop seamlessly. Below I attached a video of the updated skeletal mesh and its animations.

Common Art VR Week 4

 For this week, I rigged and animated our character Peter Porker - Spider-Ham. I made a simple skeleton and added IK handles to both legs so it can be easier to have him bounce around in his animations. Below I submitted a video showcasing the skeletal hierarchy as well as the animations implemented in Unreal.

For this week, I fixed the skin weights that were giving the left and the right hands hard and flat edges. I also fixed the animations for both hands for the thumb down and grab, which I posted below showing the comparisons. I also made an additional hand animation positioned as spiderman's web shooting technique. 

I also made spiderman web shooters to be implemented with the hand-shooting animation. I will say it was really challenging to create this. It was a bunch of trial and error, but I came across this awesome tutorial on YouTube by Rimaye. Although the video is completely in french, I managed to follow along for most of it.

Common Art VR Week 2

 For this week I went back and did a clean pass for some of the hand animations, like the hand grip, idle, and point. I also created a rig for the web bomb to create a snapping point for the hands. Below I posted a video showing the animations I've worked on as well as our prop.
