Slava Baravik, the creator of the Smart Layer script for animation adjustments in Maya, has launched a new tutorial series focused on creature locomotion, perfect if you want to get into game animation.
In this series, Slava will demonstrate how to easily create creature locomotion using Unreal Engine and Maya, exploring every aspect of a state machine and discussing various non-obvious moments. The series covers turning on the spot, movement cycles like walking in multiple directions, as well as star and stop animations.
To speed up the animation workflow, Slava utilizes his Smart Layer and shares several valuable techniques along the way. The creature rig used in the tutorials is completely free and available to download, along with all the animations. The first episode includes turns on the spot, a cool trick with transformation, and also start animation.
