I'm pleased to finally be able to share my animation with you all! My first original fight animation, with lots of pointers and helpful tips from my teammates. Took about 3 weeks on/off. Tell me what you think! :)

Did this exercise with 2 key poses and it a little bit challenging in trying to connect the dots, but this was a fun, low-pressure way to get the brain cells moving! 😁
simple exercise I sometimes give students:
1. 3 poses: start, middle and end
2. create 3 sequences using poses
3. stepped only no curves (24fps/2s or 30fps/3s)
3. work on all 3 simultaneously

This was a breakthrough for me at the time I made it. It's a combination of everything I loved and wanted to try; choreo from SYTYCD, a flexible rig, dynamic camera movements, stretchy smeary goodness. I had a ton of fun making it and I long to experience that feeling again!

I saw a discussion of aphantasia in artists and this got me wondering if there are any animators who have some degree of aphantasia as well. Visual library is so important, I can't imagine how to animate without being able to visualise mentally 🤔 Y'all have any insight on this?

No idea why this is still a debate. Been in gamedev only 8 months but already cannot count the number of times the QA team have saved my ass. They know the game inside out.
"is QA a game dev?"
Go ahead and try to ship a game without QA and see what happens.
People use bugs in games as an example of why QA is useless when in reality AAA titles wouldn't even be playable without QA
