Here's a lil #Pokemon clip I just finished animating! ⛵️

Cheers @luifoscg for the FX!
Rigs provided by @AgoraCommunity_ for the #AnimChallenge (I made the boat tho)
#animation #Blender3d @LightningBoySt1 :D

@ed_ned Yeah that's what I was gonna do. The face in the video was drawn in blender! It became quite a daunting idea to animate the face by hand.. but yeah Max G usually uses a very efficient 2D rig for his faces it seems, so it might help ease the workload if I can figure that out!

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@Arran_Baker @Jillimouse Yeah I'm hoping that's where the technology ends up. Just as a tool/filter to speed up the post-production process.

@HA69369308 @RubberNinja @BacunNG @MorganMudway @marikyuunn Awesome. That skullfly looks like official HollowKnight art haha

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@animoumou @Chester_Sampson yeah even the most realistic motion can still be staged better and simplified to be more appealing and readable

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@Chester_Sampson @animoumou it's a tricky balance of simplifying the complex things while exaggerating the interesting aspects

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@Chester_Sampson @animoumou Ye this^ :) I try to think of it as caricaturing movement. If anim looks like rotoscoped reference footage then there's no point animating in the first place tbh, just mo-cap it haha. Exaggerating the ref in the right places (like caricature) is what makes anim fun to watch imo

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@animationdan @owenferny Keep adding and we'll find out

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@animoumou Yea every shot is different so starting a new one always gives me imposter syndrome. Powering through it feels great in the end though:)

@owenferny @Chester_Sampson Didn't know animbot has a camera-space function.. I should really stop being lazy and learn how to abuse animbot hacks like you two

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@RaphaelCan1 Oh hey I animated that shot haha

[Jim Sweeting @DozyJim]

@Arran_Baker @owenferny @Chester_Sampson Professional animator attempts BAKING
