Animator Warren Leathem will go over an elephant animation sequence. We will go from the typical quadruped keyframe animation cycle, rig layers, change the quadruped walk cycle into a biped one, and finally, using motion clips to the blend clips together. With an additional rig layer, we can add keyframes on top. Once the animation is to our liking, an *.fbx file will be written out, for the purpose of doing a ragdoll simulation. Warren will also cover resulting secondary motion with the ears, trunk and tail.
