Blendermania Contest #33 "Character Animation"

Adorbs!! Yours is much cleaner animation wise than mine is lol. I got overly complicated, as usual. Pip is a sweetheart though. I am viewing mine as a previz for an idea that I will make in the future once I figure all of the ins and outs of Blender and can make it look as good as I envision it. Well done Drift!

I do plan on making the entire idea into a video, anyway. So you will get to see it in future!

This is my first animation ever so be kind lol. Also, it’s the very first time I spent over 2 weeks on a project. It was a fun ride.

Here’s my simple entry in the form of trailer/intro video style instead of one full scene. Unlike other entries, character movements are somewhat negligible, and this feels more like camera animation rather than character animation, lol.

Was experimenting with some NPR styles at first (a combo of emission + freestyle + workbench render), but when tweaking the final result had an idea to try out toon shader again (was using it but felt too long at first so discarded it). Since there is still enough time decided to re-render all scenes with (mostly) toon shaders then. Already lost some times as I scrapped first idea that felt too much (had even made a storyboard for it). First time incorporating and editing music into animation btw, as previous ones I made are all having no sounds whatsoever :stuck_out_tongue:

Except for the eye pupil texture that made in Inkscape, all other textures inlcuding for effects are procedural ones. Facial features using shrinkwrapped plane objects.

Thanks yall :3
@eladd Yeah I went for more “cinematic” look in terms of camera movement, focus and framing rather than pure animation and movement of objects. Whether it is animation or single image render, I tend to tell a story.

Good luck to all who put the time in to create an animation.

I just didn’t have the time to put into it this month.

Looking at the finished result there is so much I would change and so much I learned the hard way while doing this. I am really not happy with the end result and will hopefully go back and fix the more glaring issues
