(she/her) i make things. do you like cart toons?
almost forgot to mention the little rig i made for this!! i set up a driver to offset the UVs of the mouth/eyes based on how much you move the matching bone on his face.. i was able to replicate this behavior in unity as well so it all translates in-game :D

it took forever to get this all set up because i also made an in-game chart editor, what you saw isn't just a hard-coded map, it's fully featured with variable length lines + multiple lines :D

very random side project to exist alongside my 1000 other side projects: a parappa engine prototype! it uses a similar scoring system to parappa 1, so silly freestyling is included!!! im gonna try making a fangame around this.....

despite everything i'd always been very good about archiving various moments of my life via my pictures + videos folders id been keeping since 2015.. they can be a source of Great Humor but also a source of Great Pain. heres a video i took of my family's cat using a ps vita in 2015

something concerning has come up.. my animation of "Modify" on youtube was made ineligible for monetization with no notification. i strongly doubt this was intentional on Neil's part if it even had any involvement from him at all, since the claim comes from a company called "TuneCore"

i may be pivoting from exclusively animation to mostly gamedev....... stay tuned (very early dev footage)

(unfinished!) (🎵 Tally Hall - The Whole World and You) another one likely left in The Vault because i dunno what demonic energy possessed me to be able to animate 4 characters at once, 3 of them playing instruments LOL

one last Secret Technique i believe: for some shots, i used blender's "Grease Pencil" feature to animate a segment in 2D, which i'd then essentially trace over with shapes in 3D to have more controlled motion when i wanted it!

you might think the pieces of paper floating atop one another break the illusion, but that's also based on reality! i wanted to give the impression of the paper being shot on a multi-plane, which is something featured in Jonni Peppers' works which are done for real! Jonni's work is on the right!

this is the part i got my partner's help with since i was a lot less familiar with blender's material nodes.. the paper is also translucent so i could move the surface beneath the paper in place of lights that cast through the paper!

by using this setup, i could do cool practical effects like putting a translucent sheet replicating water caustics between the lamp and working area! the light from the lamp passes through the sheet and casts this cool little effect across what the camera can see

first off, there's actually a full semi-modeled room surrounding the paper setup, to replicate the real-life lighting setup i used for stop motion a grand total of One Time for a shot in "LADYFLASH" LOL.. the first image is from blender, the last 2 are real! this is to get the light bounces accurate
