CLAYNOSAURZ / UNDER THE HOOD

One pipeline.
146,000 variations.

I built the Unreal automation that turns characters, materials, animation caches, shapes, backgrounds, and metadata into consistently assembled sequences ready for render delivery.

the collection.

Explore the sequence naming pattern and its character, skin, material, layer, motion, and background fields. The collection animation is a separate visual reference.

02 / NAMING & METADATA

Every sequence
has an identity.

The latest production listing carries the character, skin, colour, blend and layer combination through to the motion and background material. Dune, Lavender, Mint, Peach, Salmon and Sky are visible background variants in that listing.

Predictable names. Repeatable assembly.

The generator applies the same rules across the batch: choose the character and inputs, generate and assign material instances, connect animation caches and shapes, pair the background, and build the sequence with its name and metadata.

That moves the work out of repeated manual setup. Input checks and consistent output rules reduce missed assignments and naming mistakes before the batch reaches rendering.

03 / RAW INPUTS TO DELIVERY

Assemble once.
Apply the rules at scale.

Resolve the inputs

Read the character and variation data, then resolve the required materials, animation cache, shape, and background.

Build the sequence

Create the sequence, bind its content, generate and assign material instances, and carry the naming and metadata into the assembled asset.

Validate the batch

Check the inputs and naming against the pipeline’s rules so missing content and inconsistent setup can be caught before farm submission.

Prepare delivery

Package the prepared sequences for batch rendering through Conductor, using the same assembly and delivery rules across the variations.
