Description
Have you ever wondered why your game animations don't quite reach the polished level of AAA titles like Alan Wake 2? It's all about the system behind the scenes called ALS, or Advanced Locomotion System.In this course, we delve into the intricacies from the ground up, starting with idle animations. We progress through cycle animations, utilizing the latest features of Unreal Engine to ensure seamless transitions with precise distance matching. Additive animations bring a natural sway to characters while walking or jogging.Pivot animations enhance the fluidity of sudden direction changes, followed by a deep dive into turn-in-place systems for lifelike motion. We cover crouching mechanics, master jumping animations for smooth execution, and synchronize all movements seamlessly with sync groups.Moving onto firearm mechanics, we employ layered systems for organized code, coupled with advanced foot tracing techniques for realistic ground interaction. Weapon animations, including reloading and firing sequences, are meticulously crafted.Audio immersion is key, adjusting footstep volume dynamically based on character speed, while visual effects like impact reactions and muzzle flashes add depth to the experience. UI elements, inspired by modern designs, provide vital information about ammunition and health status.Pickup systems are modularized for flexibility, while landscape and procedural content generation are explored in-depth. Meet the formidable Kraken enemy, boasting a variety of attacks and behaviors.But mastering these techniques isn't without guidance. Learn advanced debugging methods, from visual aids like arrows to blueprint organization tricks. Join our vibrant Discord community, where myself and fellow enthusiasts, like Max, are on hand to offer support and insight.Embark on this journey with us and unlock the secrets to elevating your game animations to AAA standards. Let's begin together
