  • Event graph
  • Animation graph
• Animation Components
  • Sequences: single animations from Blender/Control rig
  • Notifies: code triggers at specific times
  • Montages: compile sequences for player actions
    • Used for attacks and blocks
  • Blend spaces: smooth transitions on 2D graph

• Animation Types/Tools

• Procedural Animation
  • Uses math, physics, code
• Motion Capture
  • High quality results
  • High upfront cost
• Mixamo
  • “Thousands of available animations”

• Project Implementation Achievements

• Movement Mechanics
  • Dodge
