Facial Animation Feature Owner

Handling Facial Animation Set-ups in Gameplay and Missions for player, main story, combat, civilian & ambient characters
Unreal Engine Animation Linked Layer Interface Set-up
State Machines with smooth transition between
Procedurally Generated data & MoCap data
Logic for Additive animation with applied offsets that allow reusing base animation for all characters
Collaboration with Code on optimization solutions for MetaHuman & 3Lateral Facial set-up: reducing joint count for both skeleton & animation data, enable/disable Control Rig when necessary, setting up LODs
