I found a nice animation pack – I didn’t want to do the dances or anything whimsical. The space is very serious, as it’s a space full of rocks and set up like an ancient cave. There are some animation packs for meditation and another for generic movements. The meditative pack is very calming – they are extremely fast. Unreal Engine allows me to slow them down significantly, but still something feels off.

Before I can get the animations down-packed, I need to build the environment up more. Because at the current moment, the characters would just be standing on the ground looking wild. How do I build platforms upon a rock though? I could do a series of stairs – that would work.

Also added some fog which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The fog mixed with the particle systems creates a wonderous effect that would go well with the character’s textures. Still need to find their color palette though – lot of work to do. Will continue tomorrow.
