Need Help Create animations for characters

How familiar are you with 3D modeling and specifically animating characters?
Of all the things you can possibly do with the game models, animating characters has proven to be by far the hardest.
 
I have basics in 3D modeling with blender and unreal engine 4.
Now, since 3 days, I am learning about animations with ue4.
 
UE 4 is different from AoP 2, of course.
I don't think anyone here is truly familiar with character animation in these games.
We know the ones in the game were done with Maya and do have some translated Russian tutorials and help files available.
Maybe @Armada knows more too?
 
To create an animation from scratch, you need to use keyframes in your 3D software. You must import this into Maya and export the model with the animations using the GM Export plug-in.

Beyond that point, I can't help you; I've never exported an animated model to the Storm Engine. All I know is there would also be some set-up involved in the game code, since you'd need to define your new animation and link it to the specific character model.
