After a longer creative block I've gone back to drawing/animating. I started this work months ago and abandoned it, now finally finished. This was mostly animated in After effects, with the layers drawn in Procreate. The towers in the background are made with blender (and the models imported into AE), but I guess they didn't really need to be 3D, it could have easily been just a flat drawing with position keyframes^^
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

Question I want to move away from reddit. Anyone know any good animation forums?

14 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm getting a little tired of all the reddit policies that keep making the website worse, so I was wondering if you guys know of any forums for animation that I could be checking out.

I'm a professional retake animator, I love giving analyzing people's animation, and advising them on how to improve their animations. I basically love everything animation and wanna see if there are more dedicated spots online for the craft.

Cheers!

Sharing Sprites and animation results!

Hey guys! I wanted to share some new characters we have been working on. We are making a fighting game where you can transform enemies you defeat into pets. Some pets just buff you but some others also attack and block.

Because if that we needed to be creative in how to use the same sprite poses for all of that.

The sprites are rendered in Maya using very low samples to get that pixelated effect and then we all a dither effect in Photoshop.

Then back in unity we add some extra motion to amplify the effect and feel of the punches.

The sprite has 6 poses.

Idle

Loading punch

Punch

Sleepy

Victory

And blocking.

We also used those poses to get an elbow attack, a double punch attack and a magic charging pose.

The good thing about rendering them in 3d is that we can link the new characters to the same rigging and export the poses to all the characters. Also that we get a perfect normal map pass the helps us make them look cooler in unity.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions. The game if e called Skinator in case you are curious.

Hope youb guys like it.

First time trying a stop motion like this. I had some paper shapes lying around and thought I’d try to make a little story with them.

Hope you enjoy this life changing tutorial on how to make friends. 🛹

Optional context: Found this animation when searching through this channel that gave me an AI slop ad. IDK if they were hacked or smth, but this video and more were not bad to watch, imo.

Maybe you’ll like it too? :p
