Project Orion October 2021 update:
Greetings from the Wicked Horizon Designs "W.H.D" team, we have an exciting new update to share. The W.H.D team in collaboration with our affiliates at WeAnimate have together achieved a milestone. We want to thank the fantastic people at WeAnimate for their time, professionalism and attention to detail. At the bottom of the update post, we will include links to all of the appropriate products, content and services that are contributing factors. We want to include a few shout outs to individuals involved. The WeAnimate staff: Januth, Shai & the VA who was involved in the process Mia. From start to finish we are very pleased to have built a great relationship with our friends at WeAnimate. The W.H.D teammates who took part in this collaboration: Joe F. VFX, Animation & Consultation, Sam S. Unreal Engine & AARPG integration with move-set testing, Noel A. Video Editing & compilation, R. Chao Music score creation, Jamie N. W.H.D logo Animation, business organizer and project owner.
The WeAnimate team was able to create a bone rig system for the Orion character mesh in Blender that was structured to orient perfectly with the bone hierarchy system native inside Unreal Engine for easy re-targeting. Afterwards Sam S. of the W.H.D team transitioned the native Unreal rig set up into the AARPG Combat System where we conducted extensive stress tests using a variety of unique melee combat animation packs such as seen in the demonstration video here.
We will be posting future video updates as the development of Project Orion continues to advance. The W.H.D team is very pleased to acknowledge all the hard work of individuals, businesses & content creators who in turn help us achieve our goals and promoting their brands along with our own. We look forward to sharing future updates, progress, affiliations & partnerships.
Thank you and enjoy the w.i.p (work in progress) development video.
Sincerely: W.H.D team.
