This sample provides a complete Unreal Engine 5.6|5.7 project showcasing stylized biped and quadruped animation in a cinematic environment.
It’s designed as both a reference and a learning tool for artists and developers, demonstrating how a full animation pipeline, from rigging to animation and layout to lighting, FX, and final rendering, can be handled entirely within Unreal Engine.
It can also serve as a strong starting point for teams looking to create their own animation projects directly inside UE5.

• Reverse Baking workflow to reuse and adapt animation data across multiple rigs and future shorts.

• Movie Render Graph for final offline-quality rendering of the cinematic.

Intended Use

• Learn from a fully set up UE5.6|5.7 project following current best practices in animation production.

• Beginners can explore a ready-to-use project structure, Control Rigs, lighting setups, and shot sequencing.

• Advanced users can dive deeper into modular rig setups, sequencer organization, lighting passes, FX integration, and rendering workflows.

• Reuse assets, rigs, and animations in your own Unreal Engine projects.

• Explore the environments and cinematic in real time to study layout, composition, and animation workflows.
