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!

optional Normal constraint can be added but need additional transform for object up vector to get stable behaviour. Will be stable if you use free translate, but not if you try to translate on single axis.

each bangle is made up of 2x control_01 and chain_spring_01 (1 segment). 2nd control_01 can be child of chain_spring_*_loc (the tip), or use the tip for IK reference. top level control_01 is Geometry constrained to a proxy mesh using same skin weights as the arm.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
