Ahoy Polycount alumni, I'll keep this short and sweet. Our mod, Resident Evil: Extermination, has reached a critical stage. We have talented modellers and skinners to create art content, we have a talented coder raring to implement such content ingame - yet, we don't have a rigger/animator to bridge the gap between. What…

I've asked on the UE4 forums, and it seems possible Stopped getting replies over there so I thought i'd jump over here. Everything seems to work, right up until its meant to animate something.

Hi everyone! My name is Marwan, I’m an Environment Artist and Co-founder of Remesh Games. As an Environment Artist, I’ve always found it annoying to "pollute" my scene just to check an asset. Dragging a mesh into the hierarchy just to see its stats or animations—and then having to clean it up—is a waste of time. To fix…
I have read that at least a good amount of the students who have completed the course have got jobs at Disney , ILM , Pixar ..etc etc I have no doubt it's a good course to take . Some of the reels for junior animators have been pretty good ! I wonder why someone hasn't done this type of thing for Game Animation specific…
