阅读移动和动画系统源代码

主要包括以下代码类：

UCharactertMovementComponent

UAnimSequence、UBlendSpace等

USkeletalMeshComponent

UAnimInstance

FAnimInstanceProxy

FAnimNode_Base、FAnimNode_AssetPlayerBase等

阅读源码有助于我们了解这两个模块的运行原理，移动涉及到联网，动画涉及到多线程，在熟悉源码后再扩展更不容易出错。扩充动画节点也是动画程序员的主要工作之一。

进阶技术

主要从GDC获取，常见的进阶技术包括：

Paragon Locomotion: Distance Matching, Orientation Warping, Slope Warping, Stride Warping, …
