Re: When and where to do animations for Non-Character Assets in Game Engines?
In engine animation is still like working in the dark ages and most animators would prefer to work where they'll have the most control and easiest time. I'm not sure a sandwich is the best scenario because there really isn't much to rig up or animate, but maybe that's just how I'm thinking of how it can be done? 1) Click… -
Re: When and where to do animations for Non-Character Assets in Game Engines?

Even as a simple one with just one joint can unlock certain skeletal mesh tools that just aren't available to static meshes.… -

While I completely agree with the drawbacks of that case and is much of the reason why I am asking this question. As to me that case requires so much unnecessary production time due to… -
Re: When and where to do animations for Non-Character Assets in Game Engines?
Okay that is what I had thought, is that it is very case dependent. Thanks for all of the info. We are doing a lot of skeletal meshes right now as most of our components are interactable. I fear this is causing a bit too much overhead though in the long run. As we are targeting WebGL in Unity and Unity does not bake…
