Been working on a robot game in Godot. It’s been a bit of an adjustment switching from Unity to Godot but always fun to learn a new thing. 🤖🎮

Reworked the robot’s model quite a bit and am pretty happy with how it’s looking with these test animations.

This sequence came together faster than usual. Hopefully it wasn’t a fluke and I’m actually getting better at making these dumb animations.🤞

The current animation I’ve been working on. There’s a shot (not seen in this) of a robot trying to eat a slice of cake that I’m still finishing up.

Here’s the state of the robot animation I’m currently working on. It was a bit challenging having so many characters moving around in a confined space but am happy with how it’s shaping up.

A new robot render with a “pushing a bin” walk cycle. Rendered with Eevee in Blender 4.4. The recent “how to use Eevee” video by Blender Guru really helped with getting the shiny floor looking decent.

A new test animation from Blender 4.4. The robot has been reworked to be closer in proportions to the armatures exported from Rokoko Studio.

Been working on some radio taiso animations to test the robot’s rig and am finally happy with how the shoulders are moving.

The custom Blender plug-in that was used to create the water scenes in ‘Flow’ is now available publicly. Director Gints Zilbalodis and plug-in developer Mārtiņš Upītis spoke with us about the development of the water tech used to create the Golden Globe-winning film.

Some progress on how things are coming along within Blender. In general I’m pretty happy with how things are looking… just wish I wasn’t so slow at this stuff. 🥲

A 3d render of a robot missing his beloved Top Hat. A 3D render of two robots squaring up to fight like two characters from a fighting game.

It’s always fun to draw robots! 🤖🎨❤️

Anywho, these are some of the color studies I did in Procreate in order to figure out how to get my robot animations looking better. Can’t wait to see how this will improve the look of things within Blender. 👀

Two robots about to fight each other like they’re in Mortal Kombat. Two robots fighting! Their arms and bodies spin around in a frenzy. Two robots looking confused. A robot handing another robot a top hat.
