Apex Legends Animator Explains Wattson’s Awkward Run Animation

Apex Legends Updates: Moy Parra, the animator of Apex Legends, explained on Twitter the awkwardness in the way Wattson holds her gun and moves in the Apex Legends behind-the-scenes clip.

This is because the developers wanted the innocence of her motion-capture model to remain in the game in order to enhance her personality and background. Wattson entered the game with Season 2 and is ideal for players who prefer a defensive and support style of play.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game released in 2019. This game lets players choose a legend to play as all have different powers and have different personalities. The recent update of season 9: The Legacy Season, brought new character Valkyrie to the game alongside a new game mode.

This season has brought many new players to the game and the game itself has become more enjoyable. There is also a battle pass that the players can purchase with money and this includes cosmetics. It now has more than 100 million global users and with new content and seasons on the horizon, the number is likely to grow.

The innocence that Moy Parra and other developers talked about is of that his niece, who is the model and the MoCap for Wattson. Parra explained, “She had never held a gun before in her life and we wanted to capture this natural innocence in all of Wattson’s move sets.”

The video includes a side-by-side comparison of Thalia Saylors doing the motion capture movements for Wattson and what it looks like animated for the game.

The tweet specifically tells the difference between Wattson and Bangalore and how different they hold guns and which also tells about their experience on the battlefield.

Working with family is not always the best decision but sometimes simplicity is what we need to make something better than usual. Parra’s connection to Apex Legends is going to forever be deeper than that because now, he can see his work and his niece whenever he sees the game. Well, Apex Legends is something that we see can still grow big with some updates.
