Blendermania Contest #33 "Character Animation"

Hey Blendermaniacs! It’s time for a new theme and new contest! The theme this time is…Animation! This one is long overdue! Time to get your animation skills out.
The contest is simple, MAKE A CHARACTER & CREATE AN ANIMATION WITH THEM

HAS TO BE A NEW CHARACTER THAT YOU MAKE. MUST BE MADE & ANIMATED IN BLENDER, NO EXTERNAL ADDONS OR PROGRAMS

To upload your animation, first upload it to youtube or vimeo and then paste the URL as a reply to THIS forum post

Here are a couple ideas to get you started:

  • Is your character simple like a cube or complex?
  • Is your character an animal type character?
  • Is your character human in form or a object type character (such as a ball with eyes and a mouth)
  • Does your animation tell a story? Is it funny, scary or sad?
  • Is there just one character in your animation or several?
  • Does your animation have a whole scene to it or is it just a white backdrop?
Guidelines for the contest:
  • 90% has to be done in Blender
  • MUST BE 30 seconds to 2 minutes long
  • Submission has to be submitted by 9/30/20 Midnight PST
  • Only ONE submission per person
  • Work has to be original and not copied from another artist
  • Has to be a new project and not a render you did a long time ago

Absolutely love this arolf! Well done. Such a cute character and well done for being first one to post too :stuck_out_tongue:

Adorable!!!

Gracias!!

wow . . . its so cuteOk Hand

Thank you Monica!!!

This is my entry for the MC.

Very very cool and well executed animation!

Thanks! Got the idea from a Captain Disillusion video.

This is a really neat video, I love all the physics and moving of perspective! But I have to ask the question that’s got my head scratching… where’s the “character” in this video…?

That’s real nice yeets but I agree with Drift, this isn’t a valid entry because there’s no character in it.

That’s very sweet and funny! Seriously well done Arolf and you’re just starting out which makes it even more impressive! Imagine a year from now all the awesome things you’ll create!

to quote Mr.Cardboard over there "The contest is simple, MAKE A CHARACTER & CREATE AN ANIMATION WITH THEM

HAS TO BE A NEW CHARACTER THAT YOU MAKE. "

But because I want to see how easy it is to break this system and in what ways we can improve it, maybe add some eyes and a smile on that apparatus that separates the spheres, and call it a character. :stuck_out_tongue:
We were discussing with Alex that the animation contests will be hard to make fair for all because someone could just do what I suggest on the sentence above. :stuck_out_tongue:

My character is the Default Cube. Now if only people knew how much it takes to make that cube… maybe they won’t delete it :stuck_out_tongue:

btw its Cordebard not cardboard lol

For your own sanity I recommend you assume everything I say is a joke unless otherwise stated :stuck_out_tongue:

OK. then what you just said is a joke, so its not true. so everything you say is not a joke. bit then that would be true… paradox intensifies

Thank you. Yes I have done animations and modeling following tutorials step by step. But this is the first time I try to do it by myself. And I am very happy I could accomplish this little animation. And I will keep learning… I love learning this!
