Project Overview

This reel showcases my creature gameplay animations, focusing on the application of core animation principles to convey believable weight, personality, and movement for non-humanoid characters. Locomotion sets, attack cycles, hit reactions, and death animations are all represented.

Technical Details

All animations are keyframe-animated, created in Maya, and implemented in Unreal Engine. Motion reference was gathered and studied for each creature archetype to ensure anatomically believable results.

Role & Focus

- Sole Animator on all creature shots.

- Responsible for locomotion design, attack timing, and hit/death reactions.

- Implemented animations in Unreal Engine using state machines and blend trees.

Objective

To demonstrate my ability to animate non-humanoid characters with convincing weight, personality, and responsive game-ready movement — core competencies for any game animation role.
