Gameplay Animations

These are the animations that I made for the Search For A Star X 2019 animation contest hosted by Grads in Games. The goal was to create 4 gameplay animations: an idle, powerup, release and recover animation.
I also implemented them into a simple state machine in UE4, including a root motion effect for the release animation.

I made the rig in Houdini and then I animated with it for this project for one week. You can find the rig as a free Houdini Digital Asset here: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/w8Ar/siberian-tiger-rig-for-games (note: you'll need an Indie license or higher to be able to export the animation)
