Thanks for all the kind words everyone!
As I was the animator on this project, I realize that there is much room for improvement and I appreciate everyone being so polite about the fact that it clearly is the weak point of the project 
That being said, it is obvious that more time would have greatly benefited the overall polish and appeal of the animations but hopefully, the quality will increase for the next project. There was a bit of a learning curve since this was the first time any of us had used UE4, but as you can see, from an environment perspective at least, the engine enabled us to achieve a very nice result quite quickly.
I would also like to add that the documentation and support provided for UE4 is absolutely fantastic and it makes using the engine for the first time much more enjoyable! So thank you to the whole Unreal team for this amazing work.
Again, we appreciate all the nice comments and are already gearing up to start the second project of our semester (another 7 weeks) so stay tuned for more!
