Is that used in Project Hail Mary? Itโ€™s what it always reminds me of, but me memory is hazy.

A little UFO for yesterdayโ€™s #motiontober2025 prompt. Might just do the one. That counts right..

Oh nice. I was tempted to try the alternate angle version, but still having a blast with the standard stuff it came with.

+1! Really enjoy this one too.

Beautiful lines! Love the flow here.

One of my favorite things about Toon Boom Harmony are the built in perspective guides. Really top notch and easy.

It was a high quality grape joke!

Itโ€™s a shame libraries are closed on Sundays. Feels like the perfect day and mood for them.

โ€ฆin 2D! AE, Moho, Animate, etc.

Oddly specific, but any recommendations for a course on intermidiate character acting for rigged animation?

Ohhh dang, love your work. Magnificent.

This is great. Something about it makes me so wish it were animated

This is Beau. Heโ€™s three. Heโ€™s been finding a TON of baseballs in the woods near us lately. Heโ€™s got a great nose for them.

I think that formula sounds about right.

This is so lovely, could you draw another place nearby for the rest of us to live too?

Fantastic work, love the color and texture so much. Really catches the eye.

Last shot eh? So the rabbit does survive? That is good, Iโ€™ve been worried about him

B. Lot of effort goes into the first scene with figuring out the setup and rigging, and then I can go faster through the rest of it with the system in place and confidence in it.

Violators will be towed! Like the car salesman during the pitch? Brutal.

Agreed! Thatโ€™d be cool if there were a standard. Most important/top level comps get the most vivid color, perhaps. Thatโ€™s all I got.

When I go though project files from other designers, it feels like a lot of people donโ€™t change many labels away from standard settings.

Interesting! You color by layer stacking order? I generally do like yellow for audio, red for camera and controllers, shades of green for precomps, etc

10.04.2025 07:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I mean, as far as I know there hasnโ€™t been an official announcement that theyโ€™ll cut it or anything. Just seems like the writing is on the wall with how little attention they give it.

10.04.2025 07:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No, is that a new development? How did I not notice that..

Imagine a feature animated in the style of the Links Awakening remake openingโ€ฆ would have been fantastic.
