September 17th, 8pm CDT, 2019 – Blender Animation Critique

[Omar Domenech]

You hear that fellows, we be like cool and dope. 

[Kaj Suominen]

Omar, i think you worry too much of what people think. if you have friends who says things like that, get them out of your life  you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

[smurfmier1985]

I second what Kaj says.

[Omar Domenech]

What? you mean you don’t get that kind of comments? I thought that was how everyone non art related reacted. But now now, settle down everyone, people say that but, it’s not coming from a bad place. I work in an office, people with desk jobs just are non the wiser. Although it could be fun next time someone asked me, hey that looks cool, who made that? and I’d be like, screw you buddy! that’s who.  

[Kaj Suominen]

i think you were missing the point, or i’m not explaining it clearly. in any case, you don’t have to be douche about it. unless ofcourse your office people are douches themselves, then i would not interact with them at all. 

an a second thought, if they are takin a beef with who’s made what, to me that sounds like they are jealous and are trying to make you quit, in which case more power to you and keep going and ignore them even more. 🙂

[Omar Domenech]

No no, don’t worry, they are not bad people, we’re just from different worlds. No douches, no jealousy. It’s just some people don’t get it, how these kinda things are made. 

Anyways, changing tunes a bit, has anyone seen this kind of animation? this looks so freaking great. How is it that it looks so buttery smooth? I can’t believe someone keyframed all that to look so fluid. If I ever did anything close to this, I’d walk in the street with a monitor telling  everyone, yep I did that. 

[Kaj Suominen]

wwowza! need more of that. 🙂

[smurfmier1985]

I really enjoy seeing good game animation and I love this super awesome fighting sequence, thanks for making me smile today @dostovel 😊

I would love it if you could take a look at my exercise submission for Stomp’s Kick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lk77Rf6BO8&feature=youtu.be
It will be the middle of the night for me, but I’ll definitely try to be awake for the live stream.

As a first animation I tried my hand at the 2D stick figure animation exercise.

A story in progress, with very crude drawings and a lot of in betweening missing, but here it is:

Hi,

Here is a character I designed and animated. Would love feedback on the animation

Your animations basics tutorial helped me a lot on the f-curves. The second link I posted has a flip and I’m curious how you would handle the flip. I tried something similar to your box flipping across the ground, but it still doesn’t feel right to me.

Here is a run cycle for him: https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EHH4in-N6/

Here is him in a more complex animated scene: https://www.instagram.com/p/B19HcL7HJRI/

Hi Wayne, here is a short animation I made in response to the Amazon fires. My first big project besides tutorials (including your treasure chest 🙂 after starting to learn Blender a few months ago. 

I am curious if there is a method to keep the trees arm bone attached to the bendy bone. The squash and stretch pulls the mesh away from the arm bone.

This is my favorite animation. I think it is good as it is but I am open for critique.

I did not read the thread sorry.

[Yorque Ubaghs]

Do you have any tips for animating someone standing still?

[Shawn Blanch]

@waylow
So, I haven’t been doing animation for a little while but I am going to be getting back into it over the next year. My last project I created was for a hobby animated sticker pack I released on Apple’s iMessage App Store. I used blender to create all of my stuff and through the help of some of your earlier videos I created the animations for all of the stickers.

I made this teaser trailer and Apple only allows 30 sec on their app store for video content from a developer. I would like a little critique but I realize that things are moving fast. Mainly do the animations seem to flow okay? I have each animation I can submit separately but let’s start here and we’ll see if you want more.
