How do you animate wind? Noise node! Use it to drive rotation axis of the control, adjust Frequency; Frequency Ratio; Depth Max parameters etc. Animate Time attribute. If the rig doesn't have dynamics, bake the curve, paste and offset! #animation #thesixshooter #technicalanimation

How is the sauce made? Character is in place; ground is static; trees and tombstones scroll past the character; moon is small plane; big church and camera slide toward center. All smoke and mirrors... #animation #thesixshooter

Some highlights from 2025. An unexpected sabbatical year gave me time to advance my animation and technical animation skills. 2026 lets fuckin GO! #animationvsanimator #animation #technicalanimation

Gonna park it here for now. Maybe come back for some more mographic passes in the new year. #animation #thesixshooter #notoverwatch

With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively. noisypixel.net/critical-ref...

How it started... how it's going. OC Collab w. @mrngreeny.bsky.social Still much more to be done, and many more maya crashes, but making good and steady progress! #mgear #rigging #technicalanimation

All about them springs and cables #rigging #mgear

bangles #mgear #rigging

Just a lay in, mainly to impress on my #animdiversity mentee the importance of using reference as a spring board rather than a close guide. Reference is collected, edited and reedited, timed and retimed, long before jumping in to Maya. #mentoring #animation

More musings from the Deity series. Always wanted to paint a sphinx of some sort but never have, they’ve always fascinated me. So why not make one for the series (or several actually). The anatomy was a fun design challenge, thanks for looking!

do you feel lucky punk? #rigging #technicalanimation

gotta let loose once in a while, even if it's all gray #animation #notspiderverse

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

This is the kind of joke that never lands.

For the last two weeks my #animdiversity mentee and I worked on this short bouldering animation referencing Janja Garnbret. We took the time to really study the ref using primitives, making sure to build a solid foundation through blocking. #mentoring #animation

Hotkeys! I love hotkeys! These hotkeys I use 97%+ of the time. I'll take hotkeys over tool windows anytime. Not that well designed tools are not good but for me they divert my attention from the viewport too frequently. pastebin link pastebin.com/u/keyojimbo #animation

First blocking pass. Second lateral swing is more challenging than the first. Important to capture the effort put into each swing by throwing her legs to gain momentum, often overlooked is the arms also play an active role. #animation #mentoring #animdiversity

What are we doing today? Same thing we do everyday.

Ramping up into another 2 week anim along side #animdiversity mentee who chose this clip. A real challenging one. Starting off with ref and pose studies before going into blocking. #animation #mentoring animdiversityfund.bsky.social

Another video showing how to study and use reference, and when to let it go. And also to reemphasise the importance of blocking and experimentation before moving to spline and polish. reference footage from ericjacobus.bsky.social #animation #mentoring animdiversityfund.bsky.social

Gaits for Dinobird: Walking, Running, and Sprinting. This was refreshingly straight forward compared to RootYaw and Jumping, and it works pretty well with the other systems with no nasty surprises. A good week! #unrealengine5 #controlrig #proceduralanimation #technicalanimation

Started implementing Jump Wed last week, figuring it was gonna be relatively easy and fast. I was wrong, so so wrong. But after three days of banging my head against the wall, the wall fell. Now Murder bird can jump, jump, jump #unrealengine5 #controlrig #proceduralanimation

Break through. Spent large part of the week not having success getting Root Yaw Offset applied to the actual character without horrible contortions, but then it clicked yesterday. Quite a big difference with than without it! #unrealengine5 #proceduralanimation #controlrig

Gonna parks this here, it's a pretty good spot to stop. Little dino is feeling neglected. #animation
