Sketchfab animation supported now so.. Bismo & Plom!
polycounter lvl 8
The Sketchfab animation feature is live now so a good opportunity to share some of the character animations for our game Shift Happens that will be released soon.
The main characters are Bismo (red) and Plom (blue) who can switch their sizes by shifting their mass between each other.
Here are some of our animations that will be found in game as well. The viewer's still in beta so especially with Bismo there are a couple of glitches which are looking fine in the game.
All of these were done by our animator Nora, who also did a lot of more animations for every possible gameplay mechanic our designers developed.

All animations are created in Maya LT: I use human IK for the basics and some additional bones on the belly and the head curl to create the jiggly feeling. I didn't use any modifiers on these animations, it's all bones only. Does that answer you question, Hito?
To answer your question, linwail: The sketchfab animation feature is still in beta, so there are still some issues with it. Oddly Bismo is more glitchy than Plom. This includes the glichs you pointed out as well as the animation on the belly bone not showing etc. But since it's a beta I assume it will be fixed in the future.
I added a gif of what Bismo's taunt animation looks like inside Unity for comparison
Slightly offtopic, did you get into the animation 'beta' by filling in the form? If yes, how long did they take to respond? I'd love to show my dota animations with it
We got in the closed beta. All the participants there were chosen and contacted by Sketchfab so I can't really answer your question. But if you feel it takes too long you could write a post in their forum, here for example. Normally they're really fast with answering:)
Normal routes of exporting are only bringing in my rigged model into T-Pose on sketchfab.
I know from maya you aren't supposed to be baking animation so that leaves me to believe that there is something Simple I'm missing.
EDIT: Im missing being in the beta. OOPS.
Yeah, right now you need beta access
Looking forward to seeing what you guys create
You could even add animations to a Polycount Tower floor...!
