Thanks Tyler! Yeah, it often takes a while to make it work

It's a good thing I had done a similar personal project, so I knew what to expect haha. It was a lot of fun!

Byte Breakers zoomies

Fun fact: animating locomotion still makes me nervous

I had to work quickly for Byte Breakers, so there wasn't time to explore ideas much. Luna was one of the easier characters for me since she's bouncy and childish

I did most of the animations for the test last year, about 900 seconds of animation over 10 months

Luna basic locomotion from Byte Breakers

Luna uniquely has 5 different jump animations to express her chaotic personality and make her cuter

I was thinking what to do for her idle and started tilting my head back and forth, and I thought it worked well so I also tilted her head

Aimi basic locomotion from Byte Breakers

Her jump was designed to look especially good when sprinting into a jump, like a cat pouncing

She was my favorite character to animate!

I did most of the animation here, but the basic upright running was modified a bit by a coworker

Juliette basic locomotion set from Byte Breakers

The original is Blender. I transferred an FBX to Maya and added controls

The character and rig is made by @mariart.bsky.social!

We can use this tool to make boring generic animations

I did set the tail and coat to Aim Space and offset them by moving it in the Graph Editor, if you count that as an overlap tool, but there were no simulations or "normal" overlap tools like you can find online

Yes, all hand-keyed! (like all my other work)

Studying

Now you can enjoy it for another week 🎶

Chan chan ai chiki chiki ban ban! 💃

My simple Maya viewport cel shading tool is released! It automatically finds materials to switch to cel shaded versions, and is easy to adjust

There is also a guide included along with tips on how to use it

I’m glad you like it! The concept is cool and she was fun to rig and animate

Maya viewport cel shading tool is almost complete

It automatically finds existing materials and then you can apply the shader. It's easily adjustable and you can have different settings for different parts

2024 favorite projects! This year I spent a lot of time getting better at animating cloth and also started to improve my camera animation too

Happy New Year! 🎈
