Help, I tripped and fell and bought a cheap watch on AliExpress, and now I...I think I'm a Watch Guy

I'm looking for my next adventure! Open to freelance, remote part time and full time! 🎮 My reel is private due to NDA but I’d be happy to DM it if you’d like to check it out 🎨 ArtStation: www.artstation.com/nilnavaei #gamedev #indiegamedev #lookingforjob #animator #opentowork

Current project is wrapping up work today, so I'm officially open for my next 3D animation opportunity! Been in the industry for 6.5 years, fortunate to work on big projects like Fortnite and RWBY, and have experience working with motion capture, external IP and Unreal Engine. Reposts welcome! ⭐

Gonna parks this here, it's a pretty good spot to stop. Little dino is feeling neglected. #animation

I never thought I would miss badly photoshopped meme images, but here we are

I need an "I'm doing research for work" mode in YouTube, my algorithm is so messed up

I asked my patrons for some specific game animations to analyze and they suggested some good ones! #animation youtu.be/buSIcS6D5Po

Please no

I'm already very good at this, it doesn't need to be baked into the game

charged attacks

You love to see it

Absolutely the vibe the world needs RN

why can't we just let go of the things we love

new combo finisher and some dashing mechanics and such ..

Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it. Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it. (forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)

Here’s some early #animation for the announce trailer, still deciding on workflow and final look so this will be a testbed to prove it out! #gamedev #solodev #dinosaurs

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Grey, a 3D animator in Vancouver with a love for animating dynamic stuff. Here's a highlight reel of some of my work!

An actual good use of AI - stylised inbetweening is an improvement over the interpolation we’ve been using since 3D animation’s inception, and built with their own dataset so no stealing.

This looks so good!

I made the mistake of checking LinkedIn and in the brief moment I spent on there I came across like 5 different posts with genAI Ghibli memes, amongst a sea of artists and developers looking for work. It's bleak out there :(

April Pose Cycle challenge details! Have fun! (images and resources in the post below)

My favorite low tech special effect

I keep thinking about how much money disney could print if they put their animated classics back in theaters for a week or two or something

My first real gamedev job was working on a Clone Wars video game. I had seen the 2D show so I was super excited. On my first day they sat me down at a computer to watch some episodes to get me up to speed, and it was the (yet to be released) 3D series... Suffice to say I was a bit disappointed 😅

Sometimes AAA gamedev work has a lot of cross-over with archaeology and detective work E.g. you have no idea what a particular button does, documentation is out-dated or non-existent, and anybody who was involved in making it is probably long gone, so you have to ask around and find out yourself

GAMEDEV EASY MODE Character levitates off the ground, the air crackles around them. Magic suddenly erupts from their eyes, the pulsating beam hits a distant tower which explodes in an suitable cinematic way. GAMEDEV HARD MODE Character kicks their slippers off & picks up their phone from the table.

Imagine you're being summoned; what gif represents that?

from that meme on twitter a year ago, now that I can post gifs: #artpost
