Made a Top Gun inspired cinematic trying out some of the new features in Unreal 5.5, in particular the new sequencer and movie render queue updates as well as Lumen and Nanite, had a lot of fun and learnt a lot making it!

Cheers! There definitely are more complicated dynamic routes to go down, just depends on the end result you're after. With so many legs to mange I wanted to try and keep the rig as simple as possible

I animated 1 initially then copied the loop and offset to the rest, though though polish I ended up having to tweak each one individually πŸ‘

Giant Centipede Creature Animation Started out as a personal challange into a more unique locomotion style but couldn't help adding an attack, too much fun animating it!

Still the most satisfying creature animation I've done for a while, look at all those little legs go πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈ
