Tried something a bit different for some personal practice. I animated this for Agora's Arcane #AnimChallenge
Spent about a week on the animation- all rigged and animated in #Blender 🔶

Was good fun- especially the bit where I got it submitted with 16 seconds to spare 🫠

This is Nellie, an elephant I rigged and animated for some VFX shots a few years ago. The real Nellie lives in Canada but the film was set in Belfast, so a body double was needed for a few (very) brief scenes that had to be shot locally.

Puffer fish rig demo 🐟
I used shape keys for the mouth and bloating effects. Fins and eyes had parent bones whose positions were controlled by a single 'bloat' property that allowed the same animation to work in both states.

Post your most popular art from Twitter.

I apologised for it then, and I'll do it again- sorry 😞

I modelled and rigged it in Maya but never got round to doing anything substantial with it. Need to find time to revisit in #blender

Just deleted Twitter after nearly 14 years 😱 and went on a nostalgia trip through my old posts. I made this Charlie Chaplin Tramp character about a year into learning 3d (about 12 years ago). I was also studying silent comedy at the time and was obsessed with Chaplin in particular.

Scariest thing about this shot is probably what I did to the rig on frame 71 😬

👻“If you keep the light on, Mr Strings can’t get you” 🎃

A short looping animation I made for Halloween last year- playing with stepped keys to try and create an uncanny feel.

*also got dust particles to loop but compression will probably say no

Demo of some simple mechanical rigging for my Blu Tack Beetle 🔵🪲

To conjure a world where Bostik actually use these machines to steal back their product, I coloured the beetle to match their branding which on reflection, would be recklessly self-incriminating of them 🤔

This is the result of one of the first Blender tutorials I ever followed (by Derek Elliott) It was so much fun I added a frog- who was clearly unfazed by the whole experience 🙄 🐸

The location of the last Parma Violet mine is a closely guarded secret, and luring the attention-drawing dinosaurs away is a dangerous job. Fortunately they're usually high on the smell and aren't too aggressive 🟣

*totally didn't make a weird background and try to pretend it was a joke all along 👀
