This Project is a Layering System similar to the one first Introduced by Caleb Longmire the Creator of ALS (Advanced Locomotion System). The Difference between mine and his is that mine doesn't rely heavily on Curves, they are used very lightly and mostly for Activating or Deactivating IK. My System instead relies heavily on Primary Data Assets for various things: - 1. For Layering, they allow you to Change the Layering Settings and Watch them Change in Real-Time. - 2. For IK Retargeting they allow you to offset the weapon in the hand as well as correct the hand placement and aiming so that Retargeting Based Offsets can be Corrected without ever having to Directly Modify the Animations which would be 100% Required without the use of this Method. This project assumes you have the Desire and Drive to learn Unreal Engine. This project is not a ready to market shake-n-bake game that you can simply plug-n-play and slap on the Market. It will require work on your part, if your afraid of work or mundane repetitive tasks then Game Development is not for you. This project WAS designed with Scaling in mind, but with that said it will scale on an exponential curve....for every character with a differing ANATOMY (For Example Metahumans have 18 body types 9 Male and 9 Female) and for EVERY Pose introduced to layering (For Example Rifle-Aiming-Pose, Pistol-Ready-Pose, the rifle has 3 poses, the pistol has 4, and the flashlight has 2) there will need to be data per-item-per-character and this data will need to be filled out. This is the price you have to pay, the alternative to the approach I take in this project would require far more work on your end then what this project is asking of you. NOTE: If you want a MASSIVE GAME, it will require a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK! This is why AAA Game Studios have $500,000,000+ budgets and Thousands of people working on them over the course of 4-8 years.......The Bigger you want your game, the more work it WILL Require, Guaranteed, No Exceptions!
