Technical Animation Pipeline of Destruction AllStars
A deep dive into the technical animation pipeline and processes of the PS5 exclusive title Destruction AllStars. Shipping with Unreal Engine, this talk will explain how we solved problems and supported a newly formed animation team in the creation of 16 unique characters of different shapes, sizes and styles. We’ll look at how our real-time rigging solutions work, how we future proofed decisions that hadn’t been made, how we empowered the animators and removed barriers to entry, and highlight the many hurdles, solutions and lessons we worked through during the development process including spending nearly a third of the project in lockdown.
