Star Wars AT-AT Walkers in Unreal Engine - Fighting Animation

My AT-AT's have left the confines of Autodesk Maya, traversing the vast expanse of their local PC hard drives to find a new home in Unreal Engine. They're doing everything they can to find something to fight.
Software:
Maya
Unreal Engine 5.3
DaVinci Resolve 18.6
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Rig:
Mine, I built it in Maya.
Made entirely by Jeremy Cummins using Unreal Engine 5.3, Autodesk Maya and DaVinci Resolve 18.6 . It took about two weeks not including the rig creation.

@@PugnaciousProductions like hell they can go 50mph. who ever wrote that in a book or a wiki page is a liar or extremely low iq. a walker going 50mph is 24 meters per second. meaning each foot moving would need to be a stride of 24 meters and for all 4 feet to move in a single second. the AT AT itself is only 20 meters long. that means for it to go 50mph it's stride would realistically be a max of about 1/3 its length and thats being generous, so all the feet would have to move 3 times every second. thats 12 steps a second so a step every 0.083 seconds, moving 8 meters each step. that means the feet would have to be moving each step has to start, accelerate, slow down, and then stop, to move 8 meters in 0.083 seconds using suvat calculations the feet would have to accelerate from stopped to 192.77m/s then decelerate back to 0 in 0.083 seconds. for reference 192.77m/s thats 431 miles per hour. That claim is 100% nonsense. even if there was some sci fi mumbo jumbo that made it mechanically possible it would be functionally ridiculous and look absolutely absurd.

The amount of firepower those main guns can output is INSANE. Rebels and ESB shows each heavy cannon can fire twice a second, which is probably about 3x more firepower than an AT-TE’s mass driver at full output. The repeating medium cannons are hella sick as well

@dhabu9017 Ай бұрын

This is amazing work; well done :) One nitpick: I feel like the leg animation is a bit too fast; while the mechanisms are undoubtedly very powerful, I think given their sheer weight it should move a little slower. That said, this is an incredible production and I hope it serves you and/or garners some interest from game/video studios :)

Excellent animation! Now that's what I'm talking about! Great to see the walkers moving quicker, more in keeping with how they should move. Looks a little odd after being so used to them clomping around so slowly for so long, but a much better representation of their more likely speed. Also, loved the sustained fire of the machine in the middle, and the glowing laser barrels at the end. Nice! The only thing I would've added is one of them taking a mortal hit from a heavy calibre weapon or an X-Wing (which they subsequently shoot down).

Okay - There's been a lot of great things happening in the world of mainstream animation lately. Especially the blending of CG and live action styles - be it mimicking lower frame rates (12 FPS, or using Key frames and doing movements on 1s, 2s, or 3s). KUDOS and PROPS to the animation of these. It does a really does a nice stop-motion style interpretation of the AT-Ts. It's kinetic, full of character, and I fricking love it. I don't know what sort of pipeline is used - but it's awesome.

Brings one to mind of the WW2 naval bombardments of Okinawa, Iwo Jima and Normandy where every ship with anything larger than a 5 inch gun fired on land targeting enemy bunkers/emplacements, etc. It's also similar to old ww2 footage of Russian Katusha rockets being fired from behind the lines toward the German lines.

great job at showing how powerful these things could be. I am sure that in Empire part of the artistic choice was based on technological limits as far as the AT At movements went. the slower speed is ominous in the movie (just rewatched on the weekend) but this speed shows that they are indeed a big threat and not sitting, clumsy ducks.
