Hey twitter!!
Today I wanted to share the finished animation of Kratos I showed a while ago! I’m honestly really happy with how this turned out, this was a big learning experience for me.
Big thanks to my teacher @rustyanimator and classmates for their support!

2025 Rusty Animator School Student Showcase

[Rusty Gray @rustyanimator]

I couldn't be more proud to see our students developing pro level body mechanics in months rather than years, creating demo reel shots that I wish I could have made as a student, and for landing their dream gigs for the first time -- even after years of struggling elsewhere.

[Rusty Gray @rustyanimator]

@SmithRamoneL @JoanRamon3D and you got it there!

[Joan Ramon @JoanRamon3D]

Hi everyone!! Here's an animation I finished a few weeks ago!!

I want to thank my teacher @rustyanimator for his amazing help and for making this shot possible and my classmates @luis3danim and @saranim3d for their support!!

This incredible rig was made by @Applibot_PR

Here's a WIP of a Kratos anim I'm doing.
Hopefully i'll finish it in two weeks😁

Thanks to @rustyanimator and my classmates for helping me improve my body mechanics!

@luis3danim @artstoff You did a great job Luis! It was a pleasure getting to be apart of it. Just the start of the awesomeness to come!

[Rusty Gray @rustyanimator]

With a world-class school - how much can you level up your animation in 3 months?

Check out some student examples from the start of the year:

[Rusty Gray @rustyanimator]

@SmithRamoneL Always a pleasure to team up buddy! Looking forward to final polish and what comes next! Keep bringing the heat....or spark.

[Smith Ramone @SmithRamoneL]

I wanted to share the progress of this shot I made a few years back. This one had many changes along the way. Thanks to my mentor at the time @rustyanimator for pushing me through it.

[Rusty Gray @rustyanimator]

@Darkn3sspawn Still love this shot. It was so much fun. And Thank you for being such an awesome student - always hungry for the next level and willing to put in the work!

@CromaCore_ @AnimatorWilson Awesome. Really appreciate the quick response. Looking forward to playing around with it. And I've encouraged students I personally mentor to give it a go as well.
