What I learned at Pixar for creating fluid animation ⬇️

Focusing on your extremes and making sure each axis in both translations and rotation hits its extreme on different frames is what makes animation fluid. Essentially this is how I animate drag and follow through and create arcs

It wouldn’t be a souls-like without a dodge 😉 Here’s how I animated 🎃 stepback dodge from the forward dodge

Recreating K Pop Demon Hunters in Unreal Engine for internal testing purposes hehe

How my game went from 🎄➡️🎃

Starting animating the player for my game in UE... ugh I know Unreal has the basic tools covered but it always breaks my creative flow. Somehow I managed to create a rig in Maya, so I'm glad I'll be able to use it! Need that smart layer tool + AnimBot for all the cycles 🎃 #animation #pumpkinknight

Don't really post here much, more active on X and YouTube (links below). But thought I'd share a little side project I worked on this week... STITCH! Always a fun character to animate

A dramatic demise! Still more to polish on it but I will get there #gameanimation #animator

First pass on the player death animation. Gonna polish it up (especially the ending settle) and add some cool VFX on it in game #gameanimation #3danimation

Thus far I have animated basic locomotion and a ballet stylized attack. Up next, enemy attack with a fan, inspired by the Chinese Tea dance! #animation #gameanimation #soulslike #indiegame

Keyframed my very first attack animation! What do y'all think? #animation #gameanimation

Got a spline pass on two jump animations: one for the idle, another for the run. What do you all think? Would a ballet player character like this be satisfying and fun to traverse around? Let me know! #ballet #animation #soulslike

Ballet style character run. I liked how the weight on the cloth turned out. Need to create a stopping animation to have a satisfactory settle.

First pass at a ballet idle jump animation. Hopefully I can get to the running jump soon... It'll be important to get a variety of leaps and spins for the character to feel good 🩰🤺

Added two types of jumps for the player. The pirouette was fun but tricky to get this first pass working

Coded the animation onto my player. I just love ballet!!! Can’t wait to flesh out his movement further. #ballet #3Danimation #characteranination #gamedev #soulslike

I think ballet is so beautiful that I decided to animate the player character for my game as a ballerina. This is the sprint. I animated in Unreal Engine using Sequencer. Is anyone else going to see the Nutcracker Ballet this Christmas? #ballet #indiegamedev #animation #3Danimation #nutcrackerballet
