From a recent paid animation review 👇 One of the most common issues I see: Characters move before they look where they’re going. In real life, we always verify first — our eyes lead the action. This is the kind of detail we fix in reviews. #animation

Hey folks, my contract with @superseedstudio is ending soon so I'm on the hunt for my next adventure. If you're in need of an animator give me a shout, especially if you're local to Austin or are remote friendly! Cheers! #PortfolioDay

The more I work with this idea, the more helpful I am finding it to be. Clarity of line through pose, even for an old dog, is super helpful. Reversals are clear. Screen space locations are clear. And I get a little hit of dopamine for doing the tedious work. It's kind of a win all around. Axe Thread -- > wp.me/P4Si8f-sfA #maya #rigging #characteranimation #goodtimes

This tool is so useful... when animating I love seeing more of the characters mesh instead of the cluster of controls. You can hover over a body part and it will highlight the nearest control. Check comment below for link.

I wonder if there is a better way to handle Control Rigs? Less curve soup. More animation. AXE Proxy — soft launch. Link in bio. #Maya3D #Rigging #CharacterAnimation #LongWinterStudios

Tools works on any rig - in conjunction with a control setup. Honestly - It's dope. Give it a go if you're not afraid to party. #Maya3D #Rigging #CharacterAnimation #LongWinterStudios
