A few people have asked me about the dino skeleton building I did for an AR project I did recently. Sorry to say but I'm not a smart man and did it all manually with way too many locators and a lot of constraints with switching 1 at a time. There were 215 bones. #animation #Isuck

While I wasn't able to get work before I was laid off, he's my Call of Duty reel for people to see: (It's very long) Will cut it down.

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement. If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience, hit me up.

Taking out what NetEase is to this Industry, their team that developed Marvel Rivals went all out and hit hard with this release. Super fun and artistically interesting with an essence of what made past games great. Check it out if you haven't.

Watching The Adventures of TinTin from 2011, I still marvel at how incredible it all is. I still feel like it's unmatched in so many ways.

Really looking forward to my new role as Principal Animator for 2K's Cloud Chamber studio. We've got such a great team of people and it's growing. Hopefully what we make achieves a great delight to people as it did for me when I joined.

The discourse on this topic has been incredible to see & I'm glad that we are all sharing our opinions & thoughts on the matter. The idea of this post was to get a general census of the topic to create a course to share what I know. Not the ultimate way but what has worked for me.

The ask was because I'd love to give back to the community & share what I've learned from a whole range of people. I no longer fear or dread it, I can pull poses from it and act as if it were blocking animation while keeping underlying data. What is focus on or push, delete etc.

Animators out there, especially keyframe people. Do you have a fear/no desire to work with motion capture? . - What do you feel is because of this?.- Lack of Drive or use case?.- Lack of knowledge towards it or feel that you're no using all your keyframe skills to good use?

With this receiving a nice amount of interest, does anyone have any questions related to motion capture? Any unknowns or knowledge gaps that people would be interested in finding out about?.

Mocap editing needs to look like it's actually been edited. That is all.
