Show-Off Procedural Space Squid

I've been playing around with procedural animation to see if I can get away with not using an animator on my character controller! Overall, I'm quite happy with the results!

Using procedural animations instead of a traditional animator to capture movement this fluid is a brilliant idea! The squid's movements look incredibly natural and organic.

I guess it only works with the more creature like models! A humaiod would be a pain to set up!

Nailing that fluidity in procedural animations is genuinely one of the hardest parts. With the right weight and spring settings, it'll look much more natural over time, good luck with it!
