Bringing characters to life with animation | Open Projects Devlog
1,251Discover how we infused life in Chop Chop's characters using all of Unity's animation tools, handling a variety of use cases like walk cycles and locomotion, using tools and weapons with IK, layering different animations, randomization, and dealing with complexity in the Animator Controller state machine.
Chop Chop is a small action-adventure, open-source game demo we are working on as part of the Open Projects initiative.
