This gooey mess is so much fun to animate. I wanted to show some of my process so here it is!

More animation for #demi
Animation layers to the rescue once again!

Animating the actual cast and wiggle together sounded difficult and annoying so I animated them separately and combine them using layers.

This is what happens when #blender is a part of your brain and you have house projects to do 😅

In games you get to blend between many different actions to come up with new actions.
Why not use a similar system when making the animation in the first place?

I know it's just a walk cycle but this ended up being one of my favorite little animations to make.

Playing with some smear frames!

...of course it was supposed to be his last anim but I feel required to slot this in to as many other places as i can🤣

Setting up the cloth & wiggle physics is always one of the most satisfying parts! You get to watch your character really come to life!

We use a combo of Magica Cloth 2 and Tail Animator 2

Video Game Animators, where you at?

I've created a new starter pack and added a few folks to get the ball rolling.

If you're a video game animator (specifically) then drop your handle in the replies.

Reposts welcome 🙌🏻

Words were failing me so I roughed out the sketch with grease pencil to get approval for the final animation before animating the final.

I was surprised how much that little sketch ended up helping me w/ timing.

I think he's looking rather ominous. Nearly done animating him! Can't wait to fight this lil creep once he's implemented.

The noise modifier can add some impact to key parts of animations. This is one of the methods I like to use.

Always helps to have some good reference... even if you are wearing a giant snuggy hoodie

Couldn't resist getting the archer in engine to see how the dynamic bone physics play with my animations 🤩
