6/26/24: FINISHED!

WHEW!! This was freaking hard and I had to screen-record due to UE crashing from Epic's map. But Part 1 is DONE! I'm so happy to have finished learning all these darned things!
But I will say that i'm going to make my own city maps instead of re-using Epic's city map.
SOMEHOW i'm not only faster, but far more performative!
But I will absolutely be bringing the destructible cars and metahumans into the next maps!
Also, Mixamo is AMAZING for crowd character animations that are really only for background.

Part 2 is all about Asuka!

-------------------

This video is gonna involve crowd work with the help of Metahumans. (Crowds is a HUGE first!)
As of right now, it's all really tough to use and the Unreal Engine control rig stuff isn't anywhere near as painless to work with as Blender!

So definitely gotta look for workarounds, but I did find out ways to blend animations together. As buggy as it was. Hope I can do crowds easier with this using some kinda technique.

I also plan to take a more methodical approach with this video than straight animating everything in 1 motion. Will be done in a scene-by-scene basis. This first one has been incredibly tough with fighting the preset City Sample project and whatever new tech i'm trying to get using for the first time.
