Here's a side by side between the two titans. Base Walk cycle vs. the Base Run Cycle. I use these for my shots and then polish them relative to the cam. #GodzillaXKong #Godzilla #animation #3Danimation

I dug up this oldie from 7 years ago. It was an animation test that got me into @Blizzard_Ent 's cinematics team. I'm think of polishing it and rendering it in UE5. #blizzardentertainment , #Blizzard , #3Danimation , #worldofwarcraft

If anyone is interested in my workflow for the @Guerrilla test shot, I made a quick shot progression of the main stages. My workflow is layered mostly. I polish the main movement first and then work outwards. This shot took between 10-15hrs. #3Danimation #BurningShores

Since my first post did well. I'll keep going with tests I did for studios. This is a test I did for @Guerrilla that got me into their gameplay creature team. I had to show a side angle. In the comments. #HorizonForbbidenWest #3Danimation #gamedevelopment

Here's a shot that didn't didn't fully make it in a short horror film called Voices in the Hollow. I didn't have reference of an animal struggling from an arrow wound so I had to improvise. I added a breakdown to my approach. #animation #3Danimation #shortfilm

@_dmaguire @Guerrilla I only touch the controls that depend on the main motion later in the process. So for example, I would hide most geo and controls that are dependent on the COG. Once the cog, chest and hips are close to polish, I then work on limbs and tweak the controls accordingly.

@mattsackley @rigstation I think for short projects, one can def animate in UE. I’d say it comes at a cost since the animator will def slow down. The tools aren’t entirely there yet unless a studio has a solid pipeline with a dedicated tools team. I wouldn’t put an entire team on a long term project.

@George_Wooster @Blizzard_Ent Hey Yuriy! It wasn't an internal rig. It's a rig from a short movie I worked on called El Ningyo. This creature appears for a couple of seconds and isn't rigged for talking, so I had to get creative with the blendshapes.

@DanRoot_VGAS I can easily see AI learning stylized animation. Then taking this footage, cutting frames, adding overshoots, moving holds and everything the 12 principles have to offer. It would be very damn close. Artists would then clean up the frames and paint over.

@AnimDweeb Glad you find it helpful! The benefit of layered is that it’s super fast so it’s easy to try and throw away ideas. If leads want to see it in stepped I just slap the anim on an override layer and key the main poses.
