Rave in Windmill Valley

Process:

Total RTGs: 3

Total IKs: 6

For the "creative" animation, I thought it would be funny to have two very tough looking characters put their hands to their mouths and then jump for joy. I am not very good at animation unfortunately. But that was the intent. 

I just had fun with the set dressing! I call it "Rave in Windmill Valley"

Intro to Blueprints

 For this project I created a sword that glows bright yellow when G is pressed (you are the chosen one...) and rotates on the Z axis when the player interacts with the sword trigger box.

In the Perforce depot, this project exists under Claire.Butler > Tech Art > clairebutlerHW > ClaireButler_HW4. The Level map exists under Content/TechArt/maps/HW4Blueprints.
