Snake Locomotion: animation and blending techniques from The Flame in The Flood
387Snake characters are tricky to set up for video games. Snakes have multiple contact points with the ground, so simply blending between an idle and a locomotion animation will look glitchy and result in a lot of sliding. In this video I present an alternative solution. This video demonstrates how I animated and set up our snake character for the Flame in The Flood. I used the blueprint system in Unreal Engine 4 for this snake, but you can accomplish this same effect in any modern engine.
