Roko and Lilo – Life as a Bird (3D Animation Short)

Amir0999 · Aug 12 2025

Hello polycount Artists,

I’m happy to share my new 3D animated short “Roko and Lilo - Life as a Bird.” This project was made using Blender, and it explores the daily adventures of a bird named Roko and his friend Lilo.

Check it out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT59SNr64AyUGWibHUSVU7Q

Feedback and comments are very welcome!

Thanks for watching.

I'm not sure what your goal is here with these videos? I watched a couple of them out of curiosity and your description seems to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting by telling me who these characters are. They didn't have any story or dialogue (despite the characters mouths opening and closing). The animation reads as really wooden and weird/unnatural. For example the wings flap around a lot for no discernible reason. Characters morph into other characters with weird transitions and, whilst I hate to throw around accusations, I have to assume there's AI involved with this because I have no idea why you would manually create some of these animations/edits/models. There's a point where one of them has 3 legs and the models change drastically between videos and even within the same scene. I hate to say it but, as it stands, this feels lazy and heartless and I don't believe for a second you made this from scratch.
