This character rigging is magnificent

2:10 Animation teamed up with DNF(Mobile): Origin to create a brand-new game CG! Introducing the new Female Priest classes: Shaman, Inquisitor, and Mistress. Check out this video to see each character's unique charm!

A personal project, the cinematic short film "Father of the Mountain", created using UE5 and high-resolution scanned assets, features detailed shot breakdowns. I hope you enjoy it, thanks! #UE5 #Unrealengine #3D #Cinematic #Environment #3Dlighting #VFX #realtime #game #gameart #animation #CGI #CG

Excited to share my submission for Kinetic Rush, my very first 3D animation challenge hosted by Clinton Jones (aka Pwnisher)! 🎬✨ This project gave me a chance to experiment with dynamic movement and refine my skills in Cinema 4D and Redshift. I'm proud of how it turned out and look forward to applying what I’ve learned to future projects. Check out the video below and let me know your thoughts! #3DAnimation #MotionDesign #KineticRush #Cinema4D #Redshift #CGI 

🤓 Did you know you can use Shift to automate the creation of Slap Comps in Nuke? The fully procedural workflow can then be chained together with other aspects of your creative pipeline to automate slap comps everytime a new version of an animation, shader or models is published. 🌟🪄 #nuke #slapComp #compartist #workflow #pipeline #procedural #film #vfx

Animation is the illusion of life, and life itself is but an illusion. By creating an illusion within an illusion, we step behind the scenes of the theater. Compositing breakdown by Egor Katkov

I made a model of Lux and rigged it in Cinema 4D. I wanted to try do a stop motion Wes Anderson thing. I baked the rigid body and rope dynamics into alembics and then used Xpresso to get the stop motion effect. For the tail I used the Xpresso formula node to recreate the Vibrate tag for a procedural tail wag animation. Than made a quantize chain and range mapper to get the stop motion effect. This was the function I used for the tail rotation. sin(((freq/2000)+.5)*time*360.0)*amp+phase It's been a rough month. #3DAnimation #StopMotion #Cinema4D #AfterEffects #MotionGraphics

Hello, everyone! Today, I experimented with the often-overlooked proxy control feature in Control Rig, and I have to say—it’s incredibly powerful. With proxy control, you can control the rotation of your rig from any point without disrupting the existing pose. This means you can make rotational adjustments in a way that feels intuitive and doesn’t interfere with your character's established position, which is super cool and practical! Hope this inspires you to give proxy control a try and see how it can enhance your rigging workflow!

A cinematic short film created in Unreal Engine 5. From initial concept and storyboard to partial asset creation (using a combination of custom-made, scanned, and marketplace assets), I independently handled every step of the process. This includes integration into UE5, lighting, rendering, and compositing. The music and sound effects were crafted using materials from Soundly and Artlist libraries. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for watching! #UE5 #UnrealEngine #Film #VFX #Game #Visualeffects #3D #CG #Render #Unrealengine5 #Shortfilm #Lighting #Cinematic #Concept #CinematicDirection #Leveldesign #environment #3DEnvironment #realtime #Animation #digital3D
