A test of animating in different styles! This is for an upcoming masterclass I'm giving at BFX Festival.

5 hours worktime for these tests. One more to go! #animation

He just booted up the game after a long day at work, give him a 20gb update.

Game anim reference

[Nikos @NikosStudios]

Fantastic example!
It might be tempting to spin from the hip controller, but for a physically accurate spin the body would rotate around its center of gravity (COG) - which for someone curled up actually places it outside the body and roughly in the center of the curled 'ball'

Fun to do in 2D too

@JoshuaMckimmey @ThyCrayon Thanks @JoshuaMckimmey! Just checked and seen my GDC mini talk is free on YouTube now and is a love letter to anim layers 😄 https://t.co/BXvCC0xgn1

Spielberg is a madman for this shot.

Stuck on a shot? Motion not feeling genuine?

Here's a good reminder, that applies to any character animation you're working on:

animators study the 12 principles of animation for decades only for it to become absolutely obsolete with this thing

Testing off-axis projection demo.

Basic scene layout in Blender
glb -> detailed splat via World Labs
Three.js for engine
MediaPipe for face tracking

Next step is to add a character you can move around in the environment

I had a vision

I want Coca Cola and McDonald's to look at this and weep!

[Ricky Wood @rickyframes]

One of the most fun parts of animating for me is pushing the poses on anim layers, beyond what I had initially imagined would look good. Iteration is key! #animtip

[Ricky Wood @rickyframes]

Great transition from Relaxed Idle to Combat State - clear poses, solid intent… “kill all humans”.

[Chris Paxton @chris_j_paxton]

Always important to remember that a lot of these robots are "faking" the humanlike motions -- its a property of how they're trained not an inherent property of the hardware. They're actually capable of way weirder stuff and way faster motions.

Use only one animation to convince people to follow you

Oooh... this is interesting...
