Hosted by CRYENGINE Learning Manager Brian Dilg, this tutorial dives deep into the Mannequin Editor and Mannequin system. You’ll be shown how to set up new animation states and animate a character with your own player entity in the C++ third-person template. The step-by-step guide takes you through setting up a new jumping animation and creating the logic for controlling it. The Mannequin Editor will be used to loop and fine-tune the transitions between the different animations.
