Oh no, our Eagle friend has been cursed by the Godslayer and is now a gigantic two headed beast! This is her combined flight cycles in game. She has similar behavior both before and during the final battle: circle the tower menacingly.

Compared to her normal form, she doesn't really have that many animations overall! We have a straight ahead flap cycle, and then leans. I used the small eagle as a base, making adjustments for the size and the newly added long tail. Almost a dragon?

This is a seagull I made for The Pathless. I made it without using skeletal meshes or even blendshapes, to keep it cheap. I used a couple tricks to get nice animation regardless! Tech-art break down in thread: #techart #gamedev #UnrealEngine #ThePathless
To get this level of animation fidelity, I first modeled 4 keyframe poses for a flap cycle, kind of like how you would make blendshapes. 
Then I projected each pose to UVs, and transferred them to 4 UV sets on a base mesh in a straight glide pose. I made sure that the poses only differed on horizontal and vertical axes, since the depth is not captured with this technique.
