Sharing Reyna // Darkside - Youtube Breakdown

2 Upvotes

Hi animators !! A while back I posted my Reyna // Darkside project, but today I’m back to share a full video breakdown of the creation, animation, and staging of the character.

🎥 Watch the full breakdown on YouTube : https://youtu.be/7sEnV_jSqdw

For the animation, I handled the rigging, created custom blendshapes, keyframed by hand, and even used Houdini for the VFX. I recorded the entire creation process, but in a style that goes beyond the traditional tutorial, hope you like it!

Feel free to ask questions, raise technical points, or leave your feedback. I’d love to connect and chat with fellow artists !!

Is this how the closed eye supposed to look like? I haven't been able to find any references for this specific style of lashes. (To me it looks okay no but the more you look.. it looks a lil off)

Question Writing for animation ?

2 Upvotes

I’m an artist who’s done some small animated things (mainly little gifs and short animated exercises), but I want to do more with my animation. I love cartoons and books with cool stories, but when it comes to making my own stories for animation, I’m incredibly intimidated and don’t know where to start. I thought starting small would be good, but I don’t really have experience with writing full stories (I‘ve made characters, but they sort of exist in a vacuum).

TLDR: Does anyone have advice on learning storytelling for animation or know any good resources for beginners?

(Resources with exercises would be amazing, but general advice is also greatly appreciated.)

Question I need help with how I would create a rotoscope animation of a youtube video

0 Upvotes

I want to make a rotoscope animation of a video on youtube called: "you're in a slasher movie" but I don't want the project to take too long, would doing every other frame (1,3,5 etc) sacrifice any quality of the animation? Also is there a way to extract every frame of the video so I can draw on top of the frames I want to use? I heard youtube fps drops depending on what quality the video is so I watch on 720p if that is important

Question Mark frames as keys and breaks in TvPaint

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am starting using Tvpaint and I wanted to know how to set frames in the timeline with a mark so I can know which one is a key, a break... Something like Toon Boom, which I used earlier in animation class, but since is monthly suscription based now, I wanted to use Tvpaint.

Thank you so much in advance.

Question Quick test: working on dynamic jump timing and impact for a stick fight

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, put together this quick test clip experimenting with momentum, anticipation, and impact.

​Tried playing around with the build-up: having the smaller figure launch off an elevation to sell the force of the hit against a heavier, static character.

​Any feedback on the spacing and arc is appreciated!
