How do animate.

Sooo… turns out I can’t animate to save my life! So I’ve been trying to animate the cat and put him into engine but I just can’t seem to do it at all. I guess this is why I’m doing games art and not animation. Because I use CAT rig this means there are no default animations to work with so I have to do everything from scratch frame by frame. Then there is the issue of putting it into the game engine. I’ve nearly pulled my hair out for trying to accomplish this but I just can’t seem to get it to work. Sometimes the animation would export properly then I’ll have problems with blueprints and arrrgggghhh!!!!

So I scraped it. Its more effort than what’s its worth also seeing as we are only a couple of weeks away from the final deadline I think I should spend my time wisely on other things like helping others with their areas. I’ll probably make that falling tree that I wanted to do.

I’m not going to lie but I generally think I could have been placed with a better group. Any group but mine. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that I am the cream of the crop but at least I’m actually doing something! We have 2 people in my group (I shall not mention because there’s no need) that haven’t added anything to the map yet. Well there is but it’s a small building and a bridge that aren’t to scale or even fit in with the level. I look around to see everyone’s creations and look at our nowhere near complete game with like 2 weeks left to go and cry.
