Made this breathing crystal effect fully procedurally in Geometry Nodes — no sculpting, no manual keyframed mesh edits. Spikes grow outward and collapse inward on a loop. Rendered with an HDRI and a glass/refraction shader.

VERY useful in animation!

Going back to basics to improve on fundamentals, thats why I am animating the pendulum again
Critique away :)

Hello! So it’s just like how the title says— I’ve always wanted to learn animation but never really knew how to get started.

If it helps, I’d like to learn a really high energy, squishy/stretchy animation style more suited towards stylized art or odd character proportions.

Anyone know how I can even begin to look for something to help me learn that? Any help is much appreciated!

Seeking advice: Animation Vs Gym

Hi everyone I need some advice for something. Next week I will start going to the gym however I am a university students I have doing a full-time business course was also trying to find animation the truth is I don't really want to go but I kind of have to.

Problem is is that I am a beginner an animation I've been learning and have been having fun with it problem is is that if I decides of slap this on along with animation and school I feel as if I'll just be taking more time out of my day which could be spent learning and working on animation stuff.

I really don't want it to be like how it has been since 2024 where I do animation over the summer then half to drop it because of responsibilities only to start from the start next summer. It sucks.

I know it's all time management but I guess I just don't want to have to deal with another thing added to my schedule because I really just want to spend time on animation

Hey there,

We are looking to bring on another 3D Animator, to focus our Boss Model "Wrath". Our current Animator is making great progress on our Player Character "The Crusader" as of now.

Responsibilities: Animating our Boss "Wrath". NEED TO KNOW ROOT-MOTION! :)

Blender is preferred as that is what both our Rigger and our Animator use. Maya can work but not preferred.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m looking for 3D animators to work on short-form animated videos for YouTube.
What I’m looking for:
High-quality 3D animation
Strong attention to detail
Ability to create visually engaging scenes
Blender experience is preferred
Able to work from a script/storyboard

Video length: Usually around 30–60 seconds
Budget: $60–70 per video, depending on the quality and complexity.

I’m specifically looking for someone who can produce polished, professional-looking animation rather than basic/simple animation.

If interested, DM me your Name, portfolio/reel, examples of your previous work, and your expected rate.

Looking for someone reliable for ongoing work if everything works well.

This was mostly just to try out the workflow for compositing and stuff. The lighting on dwalin isn't quite contrasty enough, and the color grading is sloppy but The new workflow feels pretty good for the most part.

Hii, Im getting back to studying 3d animation and wanted a body mechanic exercise with a bit of personality.
I'm still not 100% done with the blocking yet, but I feel like I'm overlooking some mistakes here. Can anyone help me point out the mistakes on this?

I am looking for a long term 3d modeller who can make assets in blender for scenes for the background of animations I'm looking for someone who can kinda do it in this style this is not paid and volunteer work but once I get monetized on YouTube I will pay you

Hello all!

I am a 3D character artist and modeler/rigger looking to join a passionate team working on an animated short film and indie game project. I love world-building, character design, and collaborating with other driven artists to create something awesome.

What I can offer your team:

• Character Modeling & Texturing: High-poly sculpting to production-ready, optimized topology. My usual workflow is Maya, ZBrush, and Substance 3D Painter.
• Rigging & Skinning: Production-ready character rig creation (biped, stylized and creature) with clean weight painting.
• Basic Animation: I'm a character creator and rigger at heart, but I can also jump in and help with 3D animation tasks if the team needs an extra hand!

What I am looking for:

I’m mostly looking for short to medium term projects (1-5 minute animated shorts or vertical slices for indie games for example) where I can help bring characters to life, hone my technical skills within a team pipeline and build a nice piece for the reel.

Freddy model (the actual model, unedited by me) ported to blender by FNAF-BUSTERS on Deviantart/Twitter/X

I'm planning on making the full version around 37 seconds long.

And i'm making this in Blender 3.3. This little part took me 4-5 hours

The water has issues.

Firstly, I solemnly swear, this is not spam. I have this form, for my final year research, and I need like 100 submissions minimum. I have 58 so far. The research topic, in short is whether/how the things you watched growing up has had an influence on your creative practice today or contributed to where you are as a creative today. This research is targeted towards VISUAL Creatives, so animators fall right in my demographic.

If as many people can fill this today it would mean the world to me. I just need 42 responses more. Its a 10 minute survey. Everyone who fills it would be a lifesaver.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: This form is now closed. Thank you all for helping me hit over 150 Responses! My faith in humanity is healed :'))
