# Unreal Engine's Role In Animation Of The Wingfeather Saga

**[80 LEVEL](https://daily.dev/sources/80lv)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Shining Isle Productions shares how they transitioned The Wingfeather Saga animated series from a Maya-based pipeline to a fully real-time Unreal Engine 5 workflow by Season 3. The shift enabled a near-doubling of animation revision rates (from 4% to 10%) at no extra cost, allowing late-stage creative changes that were previously impractical. The studio built custom Blueprint tools, leveraged Control Rig and Sequencer, and developed a custom real-time NPR shader to achieve the show's stylized storybook look. The real-time pipeline also cut production costs roughly in half compared to conventional workflows, making it viable for an independent studio budget.
