Mech Head

2024 Lead / Technical Animation – 1Up Scheme (Contract)

Mech Head has previously been developed in 2023, although I was brought onto the 2024 team temporarily to rework and fix the majority of the animation systems.

My responsibilities included:

• Re-rigging the player & enemy mech legs.
• Re-animating the player & enemy mech legs.
• Creating a new animation blueprint in Unreal Engine 5.
• Adding IK foot placement and rotation to the player mech.

During my short time working on Mech Head, I was able to achieve all of these goals very quickly and to a good standard, then continue work on Disc-Go!.

In very fortunate timing a few weeks before working on Mech Head I just finished my Character Enhancements project, which meant I had already experimented with IK foot placement.

I was also not responsible for the spider enemy animations…
