Sometimes I spend a few hours animating a combo without any intention beyond honing my skills, since sometimes being a director means not animating for a while. VFX by @srrafles.bsky.social

Evening shenanigans. : P Little kitty rig is from Agora Community. Inspired of course, by many cats doing a fabulous crab walk. 😂 #zoomies #cat #animation #catanimation

February entry for the 'Pose Cycle Challenge'. The challenge is to animate a cycle based on a pose. Rig: Woody by Agora Community (agora.community/all?s=woody&...) #3danimation #Animation #Maya

Been a while since I last animated a robot or automaton… I miss that satisfying mix of mechanical precision and personality. Might have to find an excuse to bring some gears and pistons to life again! 🤖 Some Animations I made for Steelrising by Spiders Games. #Animation #GameDev #Robot #3d

Here is my full victory animation for Olympia Victory animation! :D Shout out to @beezii.bsky.social for storyboarding and everyone at Aether Studio who has given me feedback!

Getting back into animating some fun stuff outside of work 👊 #animation

Spent some time doing a few block out anims to test out one of the rigs by Ramón Arango. #animation

Happy Valentines Day! ❤️🐾 #playperidot #peridot #valentinesday

One of my contributions to Ori was the animations for this miniboss. I love how everything went great between design / tech / animation. Simple patterns but fun to play.

This weeks Artist in the spotlight is Raquel Hernández Stepping away from the usual gameplay animations and Unreal learning she found this super appealing bunny rig from Carlos Ortega Elizalde. Amazing work as always Raquel! Link to rig in thread

Tsubasa afternoon training Here I come back with another little animation, I hope you like it! VFX by @srrafles.bsky.social

Another emote talk #animation this time for the Djaradin Only anim I got to do for them, but was a lot of fun! (1/2) #wow #warcraft #dragonflight #blizzard

Already a year ago, I animated this giant creature for the GreedFall 2 trailer. Animating massive beasts is all about selling weight and impact—slow, deliberate movements, heavy follow-through, and earth-shaking impacts. Loved working on this one! 💀🔥 #animation #gamedev #3danimation

Omni-Slash!

#throwbackthursday Dialogue #animation I did 6 years ago (process videos in thread) (1/3)

My animation style tends to be exaggerated/fast/over the top/... so I struggle trying to create subtle moments... but I'm pretty happy with how Ku (Ori and the Will of the Wisps) feels in this little shot. [Sound ON]

Had a blast working on this Victory animation for BUMP! SuperBrawl with Ubisoft Paris! ✨ Love bringing personality to small but mighty fighters like this! 😁 Bump SuperBrawl by Ubisoft Paris Rigging and Animation made with 3dsmax 🔥 #animation #gamedev #3danimation #3d

🛠️kfMixamoTransfer.mel🛠️ Transfer the free Mixamo Mocap library to kfAnimRigs in just a few clicks! Want to try working with mocap? Needs a quick walk cycle or motion set to get started? Need to populate those bg characters faster? Find it here: 3dfiggins.com/Store/#Tools

Another little animation I made a while back to work on dynamic cameras and contrasting rhythms.

Here are the animations from January's pose cycle challenge. Thanks to everyone that joined me on this (all 68 of you!). I hope you all had as much fun making them as I did watching them. I love how different they all turned out. Great work! FULL VIDEO: youtu.be/F0gMlhpyy3U

This was one of the first animations I shared online, and it was also my first (and only) first-person animation I've ever made. I'd like to make another one someday!

Another quick animation process for The Last Faith! ✨ This time, I worked on a heavy sword whip combo animation for the player. I was responsible for weapon rigging and 3D animation. The Last Faith by Kumi Soul Games #animation #gamedev #3d #pixelart #3danimation

Gonna be reposting a lot of stuff here now that I've deleted twitter. Here's swim I did for the Dracthyr. Still one of my fav animations I've done for #Warcraft #animation #wow

Teaser. Been working on/off with this personal piece for over a year now wherever I find time and energy… it’s almost done though 😭 Hoping to finish it before Spring!

🦍🎥Timing and spacing can feel really different when comparing workspace and camera space. Always focus on what will be seen through the camera. #animation #Blender #p2design #B3D

One thing Bluesky doesn't do very well yet is user discoverability. I just ran the Sky Follower Bridge tool again and found a ton of animation & gamedev folk I followed on the other site, many of whom have been active here for months and have many mutual followers. But I had no idea they were here.

I used twitter as an animation inspo dump, reposting awesome anims that crossed my feed! I want to bring that energy here instead so I can move off that platform!

I added some effector field-FX to the drone-assisted reload. Hopefully it isn't too busy! As a game animator, it's challenging to sit through a couple seconds of footage where nobody is being punched or set on fire, so it's nice to fill in that shot a bit. #3danimation

Spinning wildly into the New Year 🌀🤪 #indiegame #animation

Here's my entry for @animturnbull.bsky.social 's Pose Cycle Challenge! Woody Rig by: Roly - Rodrigo Lopez #maya #animation #3danimation

🦍 Camera work! 📽️ The whole animation is done in a single shot. I like to create transitions with linked motion, in this case the staff. I just moved/teleported the camera over 1 frame. #animation #blender #b3d #blender3d #p2design #trick

A lot goes into 15 sec of animation. The project took me 60 hours of work (from what I recorded) so it's probably 80 😅. 2/3 of it was animation #animation . I made the #2DVFX in Animate. Rendered with Cycles, comped in AfterEffects. #B3D #p2design #rigging

Going through some old playblasts and found my very first sync attack, from Heavenly Sword. Animated around 2004!

The Kickstarter for ONCE UPON A TIME ON THE INTERNET is live! A whole documentary about Newgrounds! www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...

Time for a takedown breakdown! Here's a short behind the scenes of how I go about creating a scene like this. Complex animation can be overwhelming! I love using simple previs assets as I figure things out. Music from Uppbeat. #animation #takedown #fightscene #breakdown

Part 1: Animation tricks! #gamedev #indiegames #animation

More Kobolds! 🕯️ Stand variation I animated Was inspired by one of the original anims that featured them swatting at their own tail #animation #gamedev #warcraft #thewarwithin

Happy New Year everyone!! :D With a bit of extra free time on my hands I decided to animate something quick for fun. :') I enjoyed animating this little guy, so hopefully will get to do more of these in the future. Rig is done by David Llopis, X (Twitter) @dllopis #animation #creature

Here are some more details and the January pose for the monthly Pose Cycle animation challenge i'm doing. If you decide to get involved feel free to share yours with me and i'll post them all together at the end of the month! www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2zj...

Indy Bones finito!!! Really enjoyed it! Narratively it’s up there with the classic movies! 👏 Machine Games

Indiana jones has some ridiculous moments, the nuke and the fridge, the raft out of a plane… The Great Circle has Shanghai! #thegreatcircle #indianajones

Hot take..? Marvels nano tech fucking sucks!

I animated this years ago, but still love it. Happy holidays all! Side note: I’m running a sale at www.animationsherpa.com for the holidays! $100-off! Coupon: Happy-Holidays

reanimating all of the L4D2 guns gosh i love the scar model

Bullet dance inspect animation #viewmodel

DBZ Goku - CG: Cel Shading (Animated) artstation.com/artwork/ear966 Created by Orion Terry (Not sure if they have BS). But Damn! How much I would love to animate with this! Looks incredible! #Animation #Dragonballz #Goku #Kakarot #supersaiyan
