Introducing Sture! The world's greatest dinosaur!
#animation
Made this short animation for an assignment back in 2023 when I was studying at The Game Assembly.
Audio clip is from The Truman Show.

Oh my god yes of course!! I must implement a dancing feature!!
November 18, 2025 at 4:57 PM
Faktiskt!
November 18, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Gonna implement that feature in the future!

Unreal Engine 5!

Sture Videogame?

Sture's model is actually a low poly model, but with smooth shading in Maya. I tried subdividing the mesh before exporting but it caused issues with the skinning, so I left it the way it is.
I might try to fix it in the future, but for now I see it as a game optimized version :P

Just added a link to my forum on my homepage!

Yeah! I think most of the rigging and animating would be done in Maya, but rigging in Unreal could be really nice when adding procedural animations. Like belly jiggle physics or tail physics or making Sture look at something.

Well the whole rig is built entirely with joints, so no deformers of any kind were used, which is why it was easy to export. So maybe it would work!

Made me think of this haha
(from How Dinosaurs Learned to Fly)
November 7, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Haha yea! And maybe you unlock a feature every time Sture wants to show off one of his many skills c:
November 7, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Exactly what I thought as well!!
Would be fun to make some sort of game with Sture in the future! Not sure what the gameplay would be though.

Here's a behind the scenes screenshot!

I just realized that Sture's rig is actually game engine friendly!
So I tried exporting his skeletal mesh and the animation from the first episode, and it worked right away!
Here's the first episode of Sture running in Unreal!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it :D
November 7, 2025 at 10:41 AM
Aww the little happy jumps :D

Sture and Zniw crossover!?!?
Celebrating the 5th anniversary of Zniw Adventure! Without a doubt my favourite dinosaur game of all time, and the community is one of the best communities I've ever been a part of!
Thank you @zidandzniw.bsky.social so much for this amazing game! πŸ’›πŸ–€πŸ’›πŸ–€πŸ’›

Thank you! I'm still very happy with the mouth rig! It almost feels like clay when posing the mouth, which I think is the goal when doing face rigs!
November 5, 2025 at 9:59 PM
Thanks!
The belly wobble is a joint with physics simulation!
Here's a video from when I was working on the rig where you can see the joint doing its thing:

Sture rig showcase!

Sneak peek image of the short I'm currently working on!
It's my first animated short with Green Guy since 5 years ago. But this time it's done in Maya, and with irl video footage for the backgrounds!
November 4, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Yea!!!! Best dinosaur anime!! :D
