Description
A still frame from an animation sequence I've been putting together in Unreal. I've posted my progress on YouTube here: Unreal Engine 5.3 Chaos Cloth Animation WIP . It has been really great to get back into Unreal. I have so much to learn, but for the most part it is really rewarding and fun. my 12th time rendering this was stretching my limit, but at least it rendered quickly. 480 frames in about 45 min. Makes iteration a lot easier. A single frame in Daz, especially at 2K might take that long.

I plan to continue testing, and posting progress as I go. My current focus is on building a system around that sniper rifle to animate firing and reloading, as well as posing the bipods. I also want to play with the hair material and morphs to see if I can find a way to manually simulate wind effects on it using functions and morphs. I also need to create a new control rig as well as base G8 and retargeter so I can more easily bring across poses and animations from G8 (or even G3). Lastly, I have a lot of work learning animation and timing.

I hope you all enjoy following along as I learn.
