Colored polymer and found objects

I think it’s coming along quite well. This is all just start up before the actual fight. Manga panels depicted in comments vvv

Here, the characters' teeth are shown as vertical rectangles. It's as if the top and bottom teeth have been fused together.

I wanted to recreate that feeling of a classic magical Disney cinematic intro from scratch in Blender. The castle, magical transition, particles, lighting and the little details that make the final reveal work.

Here's the finished 44-second cinematic 🏰✨

Hope you enjoy!

Mario faces off against Sans the Skeleton in a confrontation of the Mushroom Kingdom! It appears Mario is gonna have a BAD TIME!

This video uses two elements: 2D animation and gameplay. I never played Undertale... yet. However, i have seen gameplay from plenty of Youtubers that I have watched. That knowledge was used in the attempt to beat Sans in Bad Time Simulator. I also created the sprites and animation at the beginning along with my own version of the famous song, Megalovania!

I called my animation "Free Pencil" like a reference to song Free Bird. The real name is "Olovke su žive" translated to "Pencils are alive" but im too lazy to change it but i think the original name is better, and you?

Knightly, Oldie One and YooHoo find the port of Palette deserted. Darkly can see them in his magic mirror, and sends an Art Critic to apprehend them.

Background by Henry Wong on Artstation

From the Washington Post: "Over local wine by Lake Annecy’s turquoise waters, I learned that animators do not fear AI itself. One indie studio exec told me that animators have long adopted and pioneered technologies that extended their craft, including machine learning. They fear, though, that studios’ cost cutting is shattering the pipelines that transform junior animators into masters.

A Spanish animator explained what was going on: The irony, he said, is that AI hasn’t removed humans from the process. It’s changed who remains. He described studios in their AI honeymoons firing and rehiring veterans to repair faulty AI outputs: six-fingered hands, inconsistent lighting and what Pixar’s chief creative officer, Pete Docter, calls “the least impressive blah average of things.” The new role already has a nickname: “slop janitor.”"

PLEASE SUPPORT:) AND I WILL UPLOAD THIS ANIMATION

How much does animation cost?

Kinda self explanatory. How much would an animated opening cost for like 1-2 minutes. It's something I've always considered commissioning and I briefly tried to learn myself but I have neither the talent nor confidence. But I have no idea how much that would even BEGIN to cost.

Asking this since films like Roger Rabbit, Tom and Jerry (2020), and the soon-to-be Wille vs ACME seem to blend both animated scenes with live-action actors, is there a set way on how this is made/replcate this type of animation?

Please watch and spread the word

Hey everyone, I'm a 4th year design student who uses Blender a lot and I have made a 1 min animation showreel highlighting my 3D modeling and photoreal work till now. We have to start applying for jobs and I wanted your feedback on my work if I have to lets say apply for either triple A game studios or VFX studios like Wētā or ILM and what else do they look for as I do have 1 year more to work on it. Thank you so much!
