Joined July 2014
I’m loving what you can do in @UnrealEngine with animation now! . I threw this anim together but it’s running 4 rigs in sequencer. 1 - full modular for animation.2 - dynamics .3 - procedurally stepped (stop motion).4 - deformer graph squash / stretch. #indiedev #ue5

Had to give it the stop motion treatment!
Remember we promised you a game animation sample at GDC 2024? It’s here! . Get up and running with Motion Matching in this project that includes hundreds of free AAA-quality animations 🏃♂️.

Another pass on the portals this week! Had to turn a lot of things off in #UE5 to get these seamless again but it’s a solid base to build on #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Checking out the modular rigging in @unrealengine 5.4 . This is going to save a lot of time! 🙌

Last week off before I start with @teamterribledev as Lead Animator and I see #babyinyellow is currently the #1 top free game on android in the US 👀 go get it to number 1 on iOS before I start!😁

Didn’t go for my suggestion then…

This is why it’s so important to all of us @teamterribledev to support personal projects. We’ve been through it. It’s shit and you feel powerless. The corporate overreach on moonlighting really needs to stop.

@MultiversalDev I just added in a control rig which caches the pose and only updates on a set interval.

We’re finally bringing an updated / expanded version of “The House In The Woods” to steam! We should’ve gotten around to this much sooner but it’s coming later this year, get it on your wishlist

I was inspired by this to experiment with some triplanar materials with edge wear this week. Also because I had no clue how @Paul_Large uv’d his models 😁 #screenshotsaturday #ue5

Looking through some old @RadTVGame in prep for next weeks launch and I think this might be my favourite thing that made it in 😄. #indiedev #gamedev #handfeets

Behold! A thing I modelled! I haven’t really done much modelling in the past 15 years and I wanted to make something that didn’t look out of place. The art style @Paul_Large developed is thankfully quite forgiving!😁 #screenshotsaturday

@pascalblanche I think that would possibly result in jitter with the camera being smooth in contrast.

Alternatively. Have your mind blown by something like a character taking off a jacket on screen 😁.

Oh nice! Wish I’d remembered to turn the character shadows back on 😁.

So today is last day after over a decade at Ruffian / Rockstar Dundee. Met some good people, made some fun games but it’s time for something new!

You should probably pay the going rate for a music video. Good that people are getting paid but 10k’s cheap
Pink Floyd are inviting a new generation of animators to enter a competition to create music videos for any of the 10 songs on the iconic album, The Dark Side Of The Moon. For more information and to enter go to

I would 100% be less skilled at my job if not for personal projects. Having those come with caveats or asking permission was a good way to lose any enthusiasm.

Honestly. this is like fucking wizardry! Incredible!.
Incredible stop-mo craftsmanship in @LAIKAStudios' Missing Link, available on Blu-ray, dvd, and digital this month.

Two main things that tripped me up - the attach bone wasn’t in the generated retargeter so that was off in the retarget. Added a pin bone to match the original in the post settings. Also, it was failing to return a montage for traversal until I did this

When we were working on @revoider a lot of people asked how we set up the “stop motion” stuff and it was complicated… control rig makes it a hell of a lot easier now so here’s a good start ⬇️.
Added a nice tile system for the wall, more bounces on the robot and made a stop motion system. The stop motion is done with #ControlRig in #UE5 and works like a post process after calculating the poses.

Me and @Paul_Large spoke about this sort of thing after making “The House In The Woods” and “Terminal” . A wee horror anthology, Cabinet of Curiosities but games.

Just over a month down the line and were sitting at "Very Positive" Happy with that! Most of the negative reviews seem to be people trying to be funny 🙃 please don't do that

Added a spring interp function to try and add some settle to things. The core movement logic needs improving but seems promising!

@Kirstene4Angus @ScotTories You proud of your voting record too aye? That time you voted against gay marriage? Must have been easier to decide than that tricky referendum vote 🤔.
