Hey, we’re excited to share this episode of Narwhal Deep Dives featuring Mark Austin, where he discusses his journey from a 2D animator to a visualization director. Mark shares thoughts on the differences between animating for VFX - which tends to be more isolated such as character animation, vs for previs - which tends to be full shots, as well as valuable lessons learned from collaborating with directors. Plus, he’s got some fantastic stories from his work on projects like Casper and more.

Everyone is talking about AI, but there are also other interesting things happening. We want to explore an even deeper integration of Blender into our character animation workflows, and I would love to connect with more talented artists who are already familiar with Blender x characters. Looking forward to connecting, please PM me! #blender #maya #characteranimation #animation

I beat up on chatbots, but this stuff is cool. Terrifying is another good word. #ResponsibleAi requires you to think beyond uses that "hallucinate" to find useful #genAi, but as Bob Dyce points out, there are a lot of people that do this work today who probably aren't as amused. I used to love collecting animated movies because I knew someone took the time to draw every cel. Now I can't even tell if a human was even involved anymore. Are we going to be watching movies made by #ai for #ai and using only #ai? Will the whole supply chain from generation to your TV or browser be done by #ai? (Yes, I know there is no reason to tag #ai over and over. That's my point.)
This was way too easy and slightly terrifying! As if VFX studios and 3D animators are not already having a hard enough time, LivePortrait is a portrait animation AI algorithm that remaps video onto a still image. It's not perfect, but it's SO fast and SO easy. It would take Bob the 3D animator (yes, I began my career as a 3D animator) a LONG time to model, texture, rig and animate something like this. 'Pixar Bob' was an AI still created in Midjourney and then animated in one click with LivePortrait. This stuff is out of control! You can freak yourself out here: https://lnkd.in/g7sW8XXc

Summary of my experience as a 3D Character Animator for this great project "Pocket Champs". I have only made the animation of the characters shown in this demoreel. Lighting, modeling and rendering has been done by other members of the team. #3d #animation3d #characteranimation #b3d
