[Riot Art Contest] - Fredrik Jansson

freuben

Hello everyone!
I recently heard about this competition and thought I would give it a go. I do not have any experience with league of legends but hope i can come up with something that fits to the lol style anyway:)

Here is the rig i'm gonna use and some weapon iterations.

Cheers!

Started with roughing out a sketch anim of the attack. Sorry for the terrible gif quality! will start with the real animation soon!

Finally started on the attack.
Here's the beginning of it, very rough blocking.

Animation is looking great. I think before you go any further, it might be against the rules to use the Crysis rig in this contest.

freuben

Thanks!
Hm didn't think of that. Found the rig on creativecrash for free.

Anyone else got any input if i can use the rig or not ?

what if you mod the rig so that you wouldn't have to start over from scratch. Take the sculpt geometry tool and relax/push/pull the verticies and maybe apply a new texture?

That's an idea! Ill do some testning. Would be nice if I wouldnt have to throw away the animation

freuben

Ok so I figured to be on the safe side I removed the geometry entirely. (and the easiest way, been a while since i touched the modelling tools :P) put some boxes there instead so now im good to go.

An update with a game view.

Loving the idea, timing and exaggeration look great! Would be cool to see him return to his idle pose, pulling out the sword or somethin at the end.

Thanks! I was thinking about that to. made a first test on a loop.

The kick feels really weird at the moment.

I think the landing and pivot jump are great, but after that is when it gets shakey for me.

Something about his leg extension isn't selling the momentum. As if he gains momentum before he hits his opponent with his foot, or the extension isnt there. I think you could do with a frame or two more of anticipation for the kick, and then really sell it with some more upper body weight.

Keep it going man, its looking great so far.

Thank you for the feedback!:) Yeah not happy with the kick either, maby it should be more like a push than a kick. I'll look in to it!

freuben

Update
Changed the kick to more of a push. Hope it makes more sense!

heboltz3

There you go. Now its reading as it should.

The grab to the sword could use some love on the recoil to Idle position.
