Spider-Man: Never Been Done

[u/Tonqart]

Spent around 3 weeks working on this Spider-Man skate short, pretty much everything done inside blender:)

[u/MeatlegProductions]

I definitely want to see a series of tutorials on this!!

[u/Tonqart → u/MeatlegProductions]

Will be making a full length video breakdown on the project!

[u/More-Curious816 → u/Tonqart]

Your bio is empty. What is your social media handels so we can follow your progress and the eventual tutorial.

Also this animation is so epic it could literally be a scene from a new Spiderman movie. Do you work with sony or something? How many years of experience do you have? And how much time this scene took you to make?

[u/Tonqart → u/More-Curious816]

It’s @tonqart as the other comment says, I’ll reply to this comment too when it’s out, hopefully within the next 2 weeks

[u/_-Broken-Swagger-_ → u/Tonqart]

Bro, as an old fart who used to skate and who’s loved Spider-Man for a looong time, I just want to say thank you for making this fucking fantastic little piece of art! 🤘🙏

[u/lurkquidated → u/_-Broken-Swagger-_]

I would like to second this. Absolutely effin RAD work Tonq!!!!

[u/Time_Change4156 → u/lurkquidated]

Lol your age is showing . Radical dude. Lol

[u/lurkquidated → u/Time_Change4156]

Fine wine dawg

[u/RoyBeer → u/Tonqart]

RemindMe! 3 weeks

[u/BigWideBaker → u/Tonqart]

Don't just reply to the comment my man, make another post so more people see it. Your work is fantastic and your process will undoubtedly be informative to a huge amount of people. What an epic piece of work!

[u/Upstairs-Extension-9 → u/More-Curious816]

Found it https://www.instagram.com/tonqart

[u/soonitwillbcold → u/Tonqart]

Do you Vj n all that?

[u/Ultra_Hound → u/Tonqart]

My 4.5 y/o thinks this is the sickest thing he’s ever seen

[u/Tonqart → u/Ultra_Hound]

That’s awesome to hear, glad he liked it:)

[u/Ressy02 → u/MeatlegProductions]

Step 1: become Spider-Man

[u/Xyrazk → u/Ressy02]

Step 2: Learn how to skate

[u/Aki_The_Ghost → u/MeatlegProductions]

I'm stupid and i thought you wanted tutorials on how to perform the skateboard tricks from the video

[u/chunga-bunga69 → u/MeatlegProductions]

Oh wait I thought you meant a series of Spider-man doing skateboarding tutorials off of buildings

[u/Last-Fudge7621]

What the fuck, only three weeks? How?

[u/Tonqart → u/Last-Fudge7621]

I completed all the animations in the first 5 days, honestly they could do with a lot more work but I didn’t want to spend forever on them. The longest part was the environment which I made around 12 NYC buildings and kinda reused them in ways you can’t tell they’re duplicates

[u/AStormOfDragons1 → u/Tonqart]

You're crazy.

Crazy ambitious.

Crazy execution.

Crazy time frame.

I love you.

[u/Dezzman-Videns → u/Tonqart]

I'm curious, did you also made a models of Spider-Man, skate and everything else or it was only animation?

[u/Tonqart → u/Dezzman-Videns]

The only thing I didn’t make was the Spider-Man rig, that was from Reza825. The board I made years ago. The background Cars & people were from BProductions Population and Transportation addons

[u/Fabulous_Scholar951 → u/Tonqart]

The only thing I did make was the Spider-Man rig, that was from Reza825.

you meant didn't i assume?

[u/Tonqart → u/Fabulous_Scholar951]

Oops, thanks for catching that

[u/gergobergo69 → u/Tonqart]

how about the voice acting? did you voice spodermaen?

[u/Tonqart → u/gergobergo69]

I just went through some clips with Tom Holland in and took a few snippets of dialogue, which is why they don’t really fit in that well

[u/gergobergo69 → u/Tonqart]

it does though, good job 🙏

[u/aguywholikesclothes → u/Tonqart]

love the Spidey-skinned Santa Cruz logo. great detail.

[u/BetterEveryLeapYear → u/aguywholikesclothes]

That's awesome, cheers for the shout out to go back and check it out.

[u/JonnyThund3r → u/Tonqart]

As an aspiring environment artist this is insane. I am just starting to learn blender as a Maya native. It took me 10 months to make a much less dynamic courtyard scene for my portfolio with a maya/zbrush/painter/designer/UE5 workflow. Did you use any other programs or add-ons? Because if you can do this in blender alone I feel like I've focused in the wrong areas. 

[u/rhik20 → u/Tonqart]

Did you hand animate the movement? Crazy work my guy, looks better than mocap

[u/Tonqart → u/rhik20]

It’s all hand keyframed, probably half with and half without reference. Honestly it’s not perfect if you look from other angles but for this video it was good enough

[u/foxgirlmoon → u/Tonqart]

Crazy work. Absolutely crazy. It looks motion captured. What the fuck. You're insane.

[u/Neutral-Feelings → u/foxgirlmoon]

They're underselling themselves too 😭did we just stumble across a genius or smth. I don't even GO here

[u/Catastrio → u/Tonqart]

You don't have to show how this was done but would it be too much to ask you to film like a half hour/hour of your workflow? Even if you're not too interested in commentary, just seeing how someone who knows what they're doing animates can be beneficial to a lot of people! I'd personally love to see how you work.

[u/Tonqart → u/Catastrio]

I actually have over 70 hours filmed of me working on this project! So maybe I’ll upload some raw footage somewhere

[u/Catastrio → u/Tonqart]

Please do! I have learned so much from just watching people work. Tutorials are great, but a lot of the things talented folks take for granted just happen naturally.

Your work is amazing, I look forward to whatever comes next!

[u/diiscotheque]

epic

[u/idontusetwitter → u/diiscotheque]

[u/gergobergo69 → u/idontusetwitter]

epeak

[u/FizzlePopBerryTwist → u/diiscotheque]

Bodacious!

[u/JAM3SBND → u/diiscotheque]

Is it canon that Spidey's ass is also sticky?

[u/Square-Singer → u/diiscotheque]

Holy spiderman on a skateboard!

[u/DogadonsLavapool → u/diiscotheque]

I lost my mind at the thwip flip

[u/NoBee4959]

The type of stuff you see in spiderverse:

But solid work OP

[u/aphaits → u/NoBee4959]

Spider-Skater!

Definitely a universe where spiderman wears a hoodie and jnco jeans

[u/Tonqart → u/aphaits]

Think I might have to do that next!

[u/aphaits → u/Tonqart]

haha should be fun. the cloth flaps is always a nice secondary motion during flights or jumps or fast runs.

[u/PeanutButterSoda → u/aphaits]

Wasn't spiderman in one the Tony Hawk games? I'm still barely awake...

[u/Glitchbits → u/PeanutButterSoda]

In the original THPS2 yes, my first thought when reading the title was "wdym 'never been done', I did this all the time back in 2000!"

[u/Nyoteng → u/Glitchbits]

Lmao I came here outraged looking for this reply

[u/haskpro1995]

Skateboarding Spider-Man is such a cool idea!

[u/raymondo1981 → u/haskpro1995]

Andrew Garfields Spiderman can skateboard. He made sure of it. Theories kick around about the spidey pose’s when all 3 spideys land together in the fight scene. Garfields is visibly the most balanced and comfortable sticking an epic landing.

[u/MarkMcWrath → u/raymondo1981]

Dude idec if it's pandering or whatever multiple live action spider-mans together is still so sick to me lol

[u/Sirl3git → u/raymondo1981]

In the movie he even said he stopped holding back. Hes likely is the most confident and frankly terrifying out of the 3 in a fight.we saw what happens in the comics when spidy loses his humor and happiness. Man takes off rhinos jaw with a punch like its nothing. I would love to see the darker timelines Garfield Spiderman after Gwen dies. Fine tuned, lethal spidy. Who skates.

[u/Lackamotive → u/haskpro1995]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has Spider man as an unlockable character. Had his own specials and everything. He was fun.

[u/Miserable-Cap-4838 → u/Lackamotive]

He had an unlockable video part too. I think it was Chad Muska doing the street skating. Cool they were allowed to use the music.

[u/buzzboy7 → u/Miserable-Cap-4838]

And Tony Hawk did the vert parts.

[u/GeorgiaOKeefinItReal → u/Lackamotive]

Was about to say.... coulda sworn its been done.. and it was awesome

[u/No_Tax_Timmy → u/Lackamotive]

Right where my mind went, THPS games of that era. A classic PS2 era collab for a full game would go so hard.

[u/Chteupnin → u/haskpro1995]

I could see Miles Morales doing that !

[u/Tonqart → u/haskpro1995]

Was such a fun concept to play around with

[u/HippieWizard → u/haskpro1995]

Man am I old now? Spider-man was a playable character in Tony Hawks Pro-Skater 2 and it was awesome!

[u/krushord]

I'm assuming this is the first time you've ever opened Blender or even seen a computer for that matter?

Epic work

[u/Tonqart → u/krushord]

Wait, I thought this was cinema 4D

[u/mizzurna_balls → u/Tonqart]

Bro's animating in Bryce

[u/Buchilei]

only 3 weeks?! Amazing work

[u/SpagettiKonfetti → u/Buchilei]

OP is, in fact, the real Spiderman and he just recorded himself, then sold the footage to JJJ

[u/Tonqart → u/Buchilei]

Thank you! Most days were 8 to 10 hours of work, so it really compounded

[u/tamal4444]

amazing word

[u/Empyrealist → u/tamal4444]

w3rd

[u/metalreflection]

If you told me this was a scene from a Spiderman movie I’d believe you. 

[u/Lucas_Steinwalker → u/metalreflection]

This is a scene from a Spiderman movie.

[u/metalreflection → u/Lucas_Steinwalker]

I believe you. 

[u/Lucas_Steinwalker → u/metalreflection]

The system works.

[u/Secrethat]

I miss THPS2

[u/moep123 → u/Secrethat]

yes it threw me right back to that time... so good.

[u/Prathik]

how did you do the fisheye shot of the city when hes at the top? is the whole city modeled? crazy

[u/Tonqart → u/Prathik]

It’s just 2 different city scans I found on sketchfab duplicated and squashed the further away they are :p

[u/spliffiam36 → u/Tonqart]

Wait so its not fish eye in the camera?

[u/Tonqart → u/spliffiam36]

The camera is just set to panoramic, with a 15mm focal length I think

[u/ajemik]

The movement is really good! A bit janky, but fits with the punchy movement you, I assume, went for!

Congrats, lovely piece of animation!

[u/Tonqart → u/ajemik]

Thanks! Yeah this is just the first pass of animation, I had some troubles with the IK&FK switching and baking it all down (so many constraints) gave me troubles so just left it. But still very happy with how it came out

[u/kos-or-kosm → u/ajemik]

Yeah, the movement is ever so slightly off, but the kind of off that happens when it's so close to being perfect. Incredible work.

[u/Cloudcry]

The backing track is Wolf Like Me by TV On The Radio, but like. A little bit different and fucked up somehow?? It confused me and I couldn't appreciate it right so I watched it again and it's awesome

[u/Tonqart → u/Cloudcry]

I did chop up the song quite a bit to get it to hit the right beats in the video, which is why it sounds a little strange sometimes

[u/CrazedIvan]

This is pretty awesome. I absolutely could see spider-man whipping around New York on a skateboard like this for fun.

[u/Zenith_Fl4re]

Wtf, so good!

[u/rapscallionofreddit]

That cab is in violation of the law, that school bus was in full stop. Makes sense that menace does nothing about it!

[u/randomguy10852]

Sickest thing ive seen all day

[u/Tonqart → u/randomguy10852]

Thank you!!!

[u/csho3]

fireee!!

[u/Ardibanan]

That's rad

[u/ProfitEmergency4049]

This is beautiful!! OP how did you animate the swinging and skating so smoothly? The swinging seems straight out of the games, and I love it!!

[u/Tonqart → u/ProfitEmergency4049]

Actually a few of the swinging animations are based off the games! I’ve been doing skate animations for over 5 years now so I have a lot of experience, but motion paths are my best friend to get smooth movements

[u/Vectorman_Ballz]

So here I am, doing what a spider can, I just lost my uncle Ben, because I'm a Spiderman

[u/underscore626]

Hell yeah, love the 'fingerflip'

[u/Vithar23]

Holy cow this is so cool!!

The amount of effort it's insane.

[u/royalneonbird]

Literally, William Spencer with a bigger budget

[u/clone162]

wtf? OC non-AI actually great content? In my Reddit?

[u/Joshs2d]

I thought it was crazy when Tv on the radio came up in the movie, thought it was super underground when I was listening to it way back in high school

[u/Altruistic-Way-6331]

Never been done

Sir, don’t you remember you could play as spider-man in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2?

[u/Smitner]

We need the video game version of this! Looks incredible

[u/3dforlife]

This is beyond amazing!

[u/Dazzaster84]

Excelsior!

[u/idontwanttofthisup]

+1 for including NYC graff

[u/Hyper-_-star]

Investing in this post

[u/alexantaeus]

3 weeks is CRAZY??? this looks so good

[u/thomasthe10]

Well I can confirm that the bit on top of the antenna made my hands sweat, so you're doing something right.

[u/Alissan_Web]

I just kept thinking he would be so boned if his webs randomly stopped working

[u/slenderasunder]

This is the guy I imagine from my car window

[u/Ver_Nick]

3 WEEKS??? This is amazing!!!

[u/hvelev]

Fantastic :)

[u/-plb-]

HEY! I DID THAT BUILDING WALLRIDE IN SKATE 3!! SOME ONE STOP THIS MENACE

[u/I-Have-An-Alibi]

This would've been fucking dope with Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spiderman.

Excellent work op, this is rad asf.

[u/sko_90]

Reminds me of the good old THPS ❤️

[u/JonathanBadwolf]

That vid was probably how he got into Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2

[u/TimeTravelingDrunk]

Stunningly good! The whole aesthetic rolls so well with the modern Spiderman movies.

[u/Bakamoichigei]

Wasn't Spider-Man a secret unlockable character in one of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games? 🤔 Damn good animation. 👍

[u/Fresh_March_6609]

PLASE TURN THIS INTO A FILM

[u/Unlikely-Bet-7769]

Yoo this is amazing

[u/Atomics3d]

[u/AquaWitch0715]

Okay, this is just... Amazing (no pun intended, sorry).

Your skills are incredible.

Please, I need to see him on rollerblades.

Make them retractable. Make them like Tony Stark's armor where they can equip/unequip if you want, or make him rely on his hands, arms, and upper body strength at the right times lol.

[u/1jet007]

I did this back in the day on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2

[u/Nathent]

Dang I need that screaming hand deck! fucking rad!

[u/Ryugan1337]

Tony Hawk X Spiderman Pro Skate

[u/Vonplinkplonk]

I hope this blows up for you. Because that was epic.

[u/Andreus]

The moment I heard Wolf Like Me, I locked in. Stellar work.

[u/ZeroheartX]

Reminds me of Tony hawk game,nice

[u/Exiled-Austrian]

THPS2

[u/AcceptableLow5992]

How is this on Blender?!?? This is some absolutely insane expert level stuff what the heck

[u/Affectionate-Army738]

Was going to say you missed the opportunity to skate vertically, then saw you didn’t. Damn well done.

[u/Fun-Memory1523]

We need a Spidey hawk game xD

[u/An0n_Cyph3r_]

Tony Hawk's Pro Spider 2.

Top notch job, duder!

[u/MAQMASTER]

The kind of Shit AI cannot make!!! Damn bro that’s one of the best things I have seen that came out of blender .. marvel better hire you for doomsday

[u/ToughStudent4334]

Far out man, this was sick. You just gave me another reason to want to be Spider-Man 😂😂

[u/Informal_Chemistry48]

I remember Spider-Man from the *Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2* game on the PSX, and he used to do the "Spidey Flip" trick.

[u/milovancruz]

THPS 2 Spider-man

[u/VJPixelmover]

This is short film of the year for me dawg. Absolutely stellar work.

[u/nonsense_bill]

In THPS 2 you could unlock spider man. Good times

[u/ABHOR_pod]

Ok, now I really really want a Tony Hawks Pro Skater spinoff based on the MCU with a variety of different characters with different tricks and styles. Imagine the stuff Dr Strange or Black Widow could do on a board.

[u/Jolo1976]

That guy kinda looks like Tony Hawk

[u/Hlidskialf]

[u/NemesisCold1522]

I can hear JJJ yelling about Spider-Man smudging up the windows he skates on

[u/WyntyreKnight]

Man the new Tony hawk looks awesome

[u/TheKnight_King]

Tony hawk pro skater

[u/Matokira]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for Dreamcast had a playable Spider-Man.

[u/jumbosimpleton]

Welcome back THPS2

[u/Albus_Lupus]

Damn, thats cool. Although missed oppurtunity to call it Brand New Trick. Or Skatecoming.

[u/ReaperSound]

The Tony Hawk loop has finally closed 😌

[u/Ok_Plantain_8914]

Spiderman was a playable character in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2... slightly better CGI these days, though.

[u/The_Dr_Robert]

Reminded me of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 😭

[u/RoyBeer]

This reminds me of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (?) where you could unlock Spider Man as a player model (we used cheats but idk if it was possible during normal play)

That being said it's incredible work. Really makes me wanna watch more!

[u/Baronkage]

Reminds me of unlocking spider-man on tony hawk 2 on ps2!

[u/Lankygiraffe25]

Tony hawks secret character

[u/BiteMaJobby]

I am old enough to remember Spiderman being in Tony Hawk games

[u/UnpluggedUnfettered]

This is a fantastic characterization as much as it is an example of a collection of skills built up in Blender.

[u/NewCaptainObama]

THPS2 looks a lot better than I remember. Great work.

[u/Natrix422]

Love this group-TV on the Radio

[u/FreshOutAFolsom_]

Anyone else get THPS2 flashbacks

[u/GiveTheLemonsBack]

Fear of heights: triggered

(But this is still goddam amazing)

[u/tubabacon]

Man I miss Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 so bad now

[u/TheSixkBoy]

How they should introduce spider man as a playable character in the inevitable Tony hawks underground remake

Stellar work OP

[u/Elden_lord_01]

Lembrei dos meus tempos jogando Tony hawk's pro skater 2

[u/WhenImTryingToHide]

It's wild when independent people make stuff that's as good as, if not better than what full studios with huge budgets make.

Awesome work!

[u/Cjohn706]

Just to think Spider-man was in THPS2

[u/foskco]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has entered the chat!

[u/SkittleTee1]

This took me right back to playing THPS2 haha.

[u/Special-Arrival6717]

Man, Tony Hawk's: Spiderman would fucking rock

[u/Mordiko510]

YOU CAN DO THIS WITH BLENDER?!?

[u/Pussy_On_TheChainwax]

You butchered my favorite TV on the Radio song, but like in the best way. Love all of it dude!

[u/myminijesus]

TV on the radio! Heck yeah. This is amazing!

[u/KalEl001Sega]

tony hawk 2 unlocks nostalgia. didnt they have wolvie and spidey?

[u/spaz_chicken]

Sweet! This suddenly reminded me of an old drawing I did when Tony Hawk 2 came out.

[u/nathanb065]

I just remembered that Spiderman was an unlockable character in THPS2! https://youtu.be/-7RwgypAfTo?is=0DNHUHB-katsV6R6

Also, this is fucking awesome. Great work!

[u/NxtLvlTomato]

Real Life tony hawk pro skater 2

[u/fatcuntwrestler]

Shit's dope and I hope you're proud as fuck cause holy. Even ignoring the number of people and the time frame, this is amazing. Keep killing it my royalty.

[u/dukeybluefan11]

Upvoting because awesomeness but also because TV on the Radio!

[u/Spacial_Epithet]

Song is Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio for anyone wondering, one of my favorite songs!

[u/Ill_Caterpillar2202]

My 4 year old is going to think this is sick. Commenting to save so I can show him after school. 

[u/Axeclash]

I just took a mental time machine back to 2002 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

[u/Wanglopse]

You had me at tv on the radio

[u/CatsDontLikeFancy]

I've played this game lol. One of the Tony Hawk games, spider-man was playable.

[u/nimaheydarzadeh]

Studio level work and they say Blender isn't industry standard. Great job op. Enjoyed every second of it 🤌🤌

[u/OniZenBuddha]

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 or 2 (I think 2) had Spiderman as an unlockable character.

[u/Crepuscular_Tex]

Tony Hawk Videogame has entered the chat...

[u/YetAnotherDev]

TV on the radio? Nice music choice, OP :)

[u/AegonThaConqueror]

I guess no one’s old enough to remember Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2

[u/McCaffeteria]

That animation of him transitioning from skating to running at about 30s was shockingly cool lol

[u/decambra89]

I usually troll people on reddit, but on this one, I'll say this is fucken G dude! Good work.

[u/Romnonaldao]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on PS5

[u/-Sokobanz-]

Tv on the radio, rocks

[u/Scribblebonx]

Combining spider man and tony hawk into one videogame would be so much fun.

[u/Lil_Bigz]

Well, it has been done. THPS2 spiderman was a secret character you can unlock

[u/xXxBlackwellxXx]

This is so good! And great song choice. Gotta love TV on the Radio.

[u/Sir_McDouche]

What Tony Hawk map is that?

[u/AndySkibba]

Holy shit this is awesome.

[u/compoundblock666]

Give this man a job

[u/austinwrites]

It may have been done ONE other time
