Tennocon's art and animation panel is dope, but I love love love that they showed their thumbnail passes for both gameplay and cinematics. Sooooo coooooool!!

Also the BTS on the Yareli Prime trailer was peak. Best girl energy for everyone.

Emet-Selch was one of the characters I was especially proud to work on for the set. One of the greatest ยซvillainsย ยป with a fantastic character building. So I paid a lot of attention to his pose and expression here.

Hello #PortfolioDay!! I'm Nat, an animator in the games industry! Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate has launched so I can share a snippet of some of the animations I worked on during my time as Animation Lead and Motion Capture Director.
We animated in MotionBuilder and Unreal Engine 5 ๐Ÿฅธ

Gameplay Animation: An Overview
YouTube video by Calvlath Gameplay Animation: An Overview

I made a short video detailing gameplay animation, along with some responsibilities you could expect on the job.

The hope is to help shed light on some aspects of the role, as well as help newcomers have insight into how to gear their work for an application.

Good talk at the game career seminar about working as a foreigner in Japan - I asked them to be honest about salaries in tokyo, and they did it! Including some cost of living comparison

My job at Netflix has not been renewed for another season, along with many incredible colleagues at Night School. The day I found out I got this job was one of the best days of my life, and itโ€™s devastating to see it come to such a sudden end.

If anyone needs a game designer, let me know ๐Ÿ’”

Crushed to hear that the other shoe has dropped on Phoenix Labs today. Thinking back over the end of an era with a great team and wanting to celebrate some of the great work we did together

I am an Associate Art Director working in R&D at Riot Games. I like to chat about #gamedev and animation.

I've got lots of ways to keep in touch, but you can always catch me weekly on @dlchypetrain.bsky.social and the #DLCbookclub.

This little guy is from Moss 2. Heโ€™s based on a dung beetle. He pushes his rolling cannon around, mounts, and fires it.

Iโ€™d animate the bug itself moving. But the way the cannon reacts is nearly 100% generated using my spatial tools. Primarily the physics and aim tools. He was so easy to animate!
