Dragon Chimera - Week 3

I started working with the feather placement to create feather joints with a dynamic aim constraint to drive their orientation.

 I've been making progress on fixing the gimbal issues on the IK spine by implementing a ribbon system to act as an intermediary between the skin joints and the IK joints. This is still a work in progress though.

I worked on getting a lattice deformer to support the use of motion paths to drive the IK skeleton but ultimately we decided the return on control was not worth the time it would take to debug fully.

3D Art Assignment 1: Simple Block Sprite Art in Unreal

For my sprite, I decided to do Madotsuki, from the Japanese indie game Yume Nikki (2004).

To create an ambience I added a flickering spotlight using a light material on a spotlight.

I also created a basic rain effect using the Niagara effect system to pair with the "umbrella effect" sprite.
