Boxes before bodies. This is how I lock timing and camera before I ever touch a rig 👇 Full 45-min breakdown — comment BOXES

The only article written by a producer about current AAA game pipelines using genAI I would agree with. Because other veteran artists kept pointing it out for years and no one listened. What kind of decision making tools will make production cheaper? That isn't genAI or LLMs.

Tried something completely new for myself. I built a game world. It started as a small idea, but then I kept going deeper: world rules, game mechanics, characters, backstories, motivations, and the story behind everything. I kept asking myself: why does this world exist? what drives these characters? how does this actually work? In the end, it turned into a whole game world. And once that world was there, making a teaser for it didn’t feel that hard anymore. It was really fun ✨

侵略者🤖vs守護者☯️ fxとlayoutメインで作成しました。 I created this while exploring FX and layout. It’s finished, but there are still many things I could improve. #animation

Fantastic example! It might be tempting to spin from the hip controller, but for a physically accurate spin the body would rotate around its center of gravity (COG) - which for someone curled up actually places it outside the body and roughly in the center of the curled 'ball'

God of War!! Here is a short cinematic animation test I did back in 2009 for Sony Santa Monica. I only had the audio file to go off of without any context, so I envisioned a Kratos that was calm, but having none of it and ready to throw hands. (I'll link to the scene GoW3 in thread) 1/4

This shot will be one year old soon! I found the videos showing how the animation evolved! It’s funny because now I would do everything very differently!

Welp.. unfortunately, I was affected by the layoffs from Behaviour. 😞I honestly didn't think it was going to happen to me. If anyone is looking for an animator, you can let me know via DMs. At least I'm still with Rivals of Aether. I'll be submitting my updated demo reel shortly.

Its been a few years since I did any keyframe creature animation, so my most recent personal project has been exactly that :) I referenced Daniel Fotheringham’s quadruped blog quite a but to learn his workflow, it was a lot of fun! Rig by @1080p_HDTV_sRGB and @AgoraCommunity_

"Chasing Whales in the Clouds Sea", a new 4-min short film by @Cetus_42, in the same universe than "Postman Above the Clouds". I find it interesting to observe how indie Chinese artists develop personal IPs in both 2D and 3D. Full video >> youtube.com/watch?v=tFWZppXo…
"Postman Above the Clouds", a proof of concept for a project by @Cetus_42 (China). Like for "You Ming Zhi" & "Koko" I recently shared, all these donghuas comes from the indie scene of young chinese illustrators. Full 3min video (chinese & japanese dubs) >> catsuka.com/news/2023-08-18/…
