ANI181 - Week 7-8

This week for Project 2 I continued with the Unreal Engine Film and Television Learning path.

The tutorials I went through this week included:

• Migrating assets from one project to another.

• Making seamless floor tiles with duplication and snapping.

• Adding Sky Atmosphere.

• The difference between Sky Atmosphere and a normal Light Source.

• Controlling Auto-Exposure

• Controlling light bloom and light shafts.

• The difference between dynamic lights and static lights.

• An introduction to Blueprints, their nodes and how to fix code errors.

• An overview of file structure and the project files themselves.

The section of this learning path I am on currently focuses on the Sequencer tool in Unreal Engine which is essentially a video timeline.

So far I've covered:

• Creating a sequence.

• Keying object animations manually and with autokey.

• Adding character animations.

• Blending between animations.

• Nesting a sequence inside another sequence.

• Adding cameras to a sequence.

• Tracking subjects with a camera.

• Adding effects and triggering them with the sequencer.

• Triggering Blueprints with the sequencer.
