Professional CG animator, genre writer, crappy doodler

I have a fantasy novel out! If you think the story of a wizard forced to confront the depths of his ignorance while a bunch of fireballs fly about sounds good, you might enjoy this book! Cover by the incredible @ArchApolar

@chloeworthyart Very nice. Still moves like a rig but gets all the shapes. I wonder if they had to shot sculpt to camera

@diaverik The green one is my spine after sitting at a computer too long

@HY_leo0810 (50k usd per year aka 700k yen per month)

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@HY_leo0810 Huh, that’s pretty dramatic. The most I’ve heard of is 50k usd which would be around 700,000 yen.
Those rates seem equal to what a senior vfx animator would make in the west, which I thought was unheard of for anime.

@Ahmedmedhat000 The NAFCA anime skills test book I have says median rates are around $11 per hour

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@catsuka Woah. I really wanted to watch that

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@IsThisA3DModel Does that guy even work in the modern games industry?

@FountainCartoon I’ve always found the clone wars style repulsive, but it was more forgivable back when all tv cg cartoons looked like mud. But for it to still look like this in the 2020s is unfortunate

@alecrobbins Unique abilities called powers

@Ahmedmedhat000 They say AI was used for everything outside of key animation in which case I’m pretty surprised that AI can get such accurate inbetweens

@jennykrakovsky Pick up a pencil.

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@banannerbread Yeah I was kinda confused by the animals there. Digital Domain does good vfx work but the fur especially on the fox was not convincing

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@henry_thurlow I think they smashed out a few of these before deciding to resume serialization.

@ziqqix Cool stuff. I’ve been playing way too much of this game lately

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@DannyAraya Same with hookups between shots. If the pose isn’t exactly the same it’ll be noted, whereas in live action shots cut with actors in different poses completely. Fun in vfx when cg and live action occupy the same space and the cg cuts perfectly while actor is completely different

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@animetatakeda I really like this show. It’s interesting some episodes diverged from the model sheets so much though. Episode 2 looks completely different from episodes 1 and 3.

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@Srirachachau Almost impossible to tell from a still image, but even if they have a real dog they 100% made a digidouble for certain shots

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@PN92536 Bad things happening in a horror movie? Uh oh!

[@ccs1989.bsky.social @Ccs1989Scott]

@Bestguyy @Inkora_Art Unfortunately it’s pretty much impossible to train a model on one persons work. It’s trained on millions/billions of images and then tuned towards a particular style by a smaller dataset. In this case 75 of this guys own works.

@shadesofsilver @MjTheHunter Mappa and their animators don’t share in the profit of this film. Even on movies where Mappa does get a share, like Chainsaw Man, the animators don’t see any extra from it. Rates are around $8-15 per hour depending on how fast they can draw
