Learn to implement look around in Unreal Engine 5 using C++ and blueprint. Map vertical input to pitch and horizontal input to yaw with enhanced input vector 2D, then test.

Learn unreal engine 5 character animation with an animation blueprint and a state machine to loop idle and switch to run based on velocity.

Build a blend space with horizontal lean amount (-1 to 1) and vertical ground speed (0 to 500); apply it in the animation blueprint's run state.
