Sometimes, when objects have so many controls, it can be easier to plan it out in 2D. Then you can use that as reference and sculpt the poses in 3D to match your drawovers.
This is a live demo I animated in class this past term at Animschool

The Botanists
Had a lot of fun making this one

Yes, you can sneak in Edenfall @everfluxgames.bsky.social. But you must be a Raccoon!
I thought it would be fun to burrow into the ground and jump out. Reminds me of foxes hunting and diving into the snow.

The double jump now has sparkle! I loved making the jump for Edenfall @everfluxgames.bsky.social
3 animations - take off, in-air, land. Each has 2 variations, in-place and moving. A blendspace blends them based on player speed.

Thanks Osvaldo! We used a really nice plugin called PaperZD which was fairly intuitive.

Seeking available top-tier pixel artist for major global title.

Strong character poses emphasis (static higher res and/or low-res animation role).

Can’t share current project art, but anim ref here from Jack Move.

Please recommend or share portfolio.

Alkina the Spirit Fox is your trusty companion in Edenfall @everfluxgames.bsky.social I aimed to create an ethereal feel with their movements. It’s a joy to see Alkina soaring beside you as you explore!

It was so fun animating the portal interaction! We worked with mocap and pushed it to achieve a more dramatic feeling.
Sometimes I'll add temp VFX to my animation to help sell it. @everfluxgames.bsky.social did an amazing job with the final VFX, sound and camera work!

Quadrupeds in games are tricky, here’s the default locomotion set of Bento the dog from Somerville. The gaits are 1 walk, 2 trots and 4 x gallops all with left/right turn and incline/decline variants. #animation #gameanimation #quadrupeds
