I animated this short test after finishing the course "Total Lip Sync Masterclass" by @LRossiArt . The course was amazing, I highly recommend checking it out!

Hopefully animators see what your page really is and just go to the source. Clearly you don’t care about animators and crediting them. You’ve been called out so many times. It’s just out of respect. It ain’t rocket science. Just do your due diligence and be a decent human being.
I recently went back to this 3-year-old shot to polish it up. It's both rewarding and embarrassing to see how many things I missed back then, guess it shows growth.
Shoutout to Zachary Rahman for the help and polish notes!

🐈 Love to see the 𝙕𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙨 artists having fun with these characters! 🥰
📝 Animator Grayson Ducker (@GreyDuck99) was given a funny cat video as reference and inspiration and used an energy pass to really get that extra kick while putting this shot together.
Ayyy, that’s me

Day 63 of making my own short film:
I hired @RSSTRV to do visual development for the environments,
below is some of their previous work! It's going to be incredible inspiration and reference for the final render!

wtAddMatrix
is an interesting node, with its help you can literally do something like "skin Weights" for transform nodes

I was recently annoyed at animating ropes in 3D so I created a new tool.
It's not polished, but I made this test anim in about 6-8 hours using it.
This tool basically can create IK splines over anything while preserving existing animation. I will release it after I test more 🎈
I recently finished this old shot of two wolves in Maya. It was a fun challenge with quadruped mechanics, any thoughts or feedback is welcome!

Here’s some techniques to add weight and scale to the animation of a simple character.

Rat gait update!
I believe hamsters have a true bounding run- what rats do here is apparently still a bound but an asymmetrical one?

I really cannot believe I am announcing this - I am releasing a book on Technical Animation In Video Games!
Covering rigging skeletons in Maya, through to Unreal's animation graph, and even a whole section on optimisation for Unreal 5.
It's out December 6th!!

I've been working on figuring out a way to animate crying and tears in maya without any simulations. Here's an example of a method to animate tears welling up in the eye, falling down their face, and dripping off the chin👍

Since I saw some people have been looking at this thread again lately, thought I'd post that I also put it in a pdf format here in case looking through Twitter threads get old:

I wanted a long-cast high-impact AOE that could hit multiple targets. May I present the 'Void Whirlpool!'

前作ったアニメーションにsoft tweakで揺らして風を受けてるようにしました。ちょっとしたことだけど、なかなか効果的💨
