2d animation!
It's my interpretation of a Charles Bukowski poem about my favorite vice: comparing myself to other people.

Arturow

@aesir Beautiful!

aesir

Thank you!  *blushes*

kee

@aesir Awesome! How long did it take you to finish?

aesir

@kee it was pretty on and off, but the art and animation probably took 3 work weeks.  That's what I'd budget for it if someone hired me to do the same thing again.

Hey guys i'm new on here but have been watching for a while and figured I would add what i worked on yesterday for fun. It took me 2 hrs tops, lemme know what you think!

LloydHallam

Hey guys! After a small hiatus from animating due to a snapped collarbone, I decided to get back on it! Quick little shuffle blockout I did today

Currently blocking up this dude







Another snappy exercise for me, inspired by Andrew Tan animations !

_adamturnbull

@Felixvivier - Hey man, great stuff but try not to make something look too similar to the video you're inspired by. When I saw this I assumed it was a duplicate of this https://vimeo.com/224811184 as there are some very similar moves. It's a great idea to do this as an animation exercise but if you put this on your reel as an original piece it may be noticed by someone who has seen Andrew Tan's video which wouldn't look good (as I'm sure that isn't your intention)

Keep it up! Would love to see more!

Felixvivier

Hey @_adamturnbull ! Thanks for the kind words.

I'm not really too concerned about this issue as it's a personnal exercise. I'm progressing so much doing so.

Thanks for sharing your concerns with me though as i didn't put any thought on how people would percieve the fact it is heavy inspired by the video you posted a link to.  

This will end in my demoreel for sure, mentioning it's source and purpose of course. 

dave56

Hey ya'll!!! I'm back and got some quickies to show!!!! They aren't touched up so yeah a bit spotty.  @Felixvivier  hey I like that genji rig could you possiblly share ^-^

volaille

looks like this is my turn to show what I did for my last gig. I riggrd and animated thos

I would love to get some feed back from you guys

Some more tinkering in Unity

laviofidelis

Hey guys that was the last animation that i did! Any tip?!
Thank you.

LloydHallam

@laviofidelis This is looking pretty good so far, your characters are moving a lot and you have some some nice poses. Your biggest problem appears to be timing. Everything is happening just a little too slowly, this is most apparent in your first animation where the character is climbing up a wall, you'll want that to look a lot faster. Take a close look at real life parkour videos for reference, you'll find a lot of the movements are incredibly fast by necessity, every movement has to have a lot of energy and life in it. Right now a lot of your animations feel quite floaty, so you'll want to go back and adjust your timing.

Hito

dusting off my rigger's hat. working on adding full face rig to Unity's Volund character

dave56

More quick anims 

LiamReynolds

@dave56 oo thats a cool rig. Reminds me of the ones from Tera and the likes. Is it a free maya rig?

Also liking the walk. The attack feels it could be faster to the upper swing, hold it then swing down quicker into the end pose.

dave56

LiamReynolds They are the models from tera and i rigged them in mixamo. Yeah the slash was iffy but it was done in only 30 mins for a challenge so yeah. I can give you the rigs if you want. And i got more to post!!!!I've been try to get my style to look more edgy like anime or more of an asian art look to it. It's getting there.

KyleG

Quick animation I did during the live portion of my class. Timing is purposefully slow to demo hand to bow interaction process

laviofidelis

LloydHallam Thank you for the feedback!

AGoodFella

Working on some mocap clips. These have been edited and cleaned up. Just need to do some blending between the idles and then hook them up in Unreal. Going to render them out and show side by side comparison of original data and cleaned up data.

Sonny

Current Screenshot Saturday progress :

I ran out of time for the settle at the end, but there's still so much more to do. Finally feeling really good about posting this around now. 

kee

Finished polishing my takedown animation. Anna's hair was.. tricky to animate 

tinster31

@Sonny thats a cool character rig! Is it available to download somewhere? It would be kind of cool if he was swimming to the target or move in a shark-like motion! @kee were you inspired by Donnie Yen?! hehehe

kee

@tinster31, Yep . Flash Point is one of my favorite films from him

Sonny

@tinster31 Sorry but the rig is completely custom and private. 

Hito

More rigging time

Finally managed to render this shot I did. Inspired by Nier Automata. Thanks to all who gave me feedback.

This looks absolutely stunning! The follow throughs that double as the next hit's anticipations are fantastic, and the little character moment at the end where she flicks her hair out of her eyes is a great touch. I'm not sure if it's just my machine however, but the frame rate on this gif seems a tad choppy. Regardless, fantastic work!

Thanks, dude. Yeah, the frame rate is choppy for the gif, had to keep it under 2mb per the rules.

Got it on Vimeo with a side view as well:
