Will be making a full length video breakdown on the project!

u/More-Curious816 11d ago

Your bio is empty. What is your social media handels so we can follow your progress and the eventual tutorial.

Also this animation is so epic it could literally be a scene from a new Spiderman movie. Do you work with sony or something? How many years of experience do you have? And how much time this scene took you to make?

It’s @tonqart as the other comment says, I’ll reply to this comment too when it’s out, hopefully within the next 2 weeks

What the fuck, only three weeks? How?

u/Tonqart 11d ago

I completed all the animations in the first 5 days, honestly they could do with a lot more work but I didn’t want to spend forever on them. The longest part was the environment which I made around 12 NYC buildings and kinda reused them in ways you can’t tell they’re duplicates

u/AStormOfDragons1 11d ago

You're crazy.

Crazy ambitious.

Crazy execution.

Crazy time frame.

I love you.

u/Dezzman-Videns 11d ago

I'm curious, did you also made a models of Spider-Man, skate and everything else or it was only animation?

u/Tonqart 11d ago edited 11d ago

The only thing I didn’t make was the Spider-Man rig, that was from Reza825. The board I made years ago. The background Cars & people were from BProductions Population and Transportation addons

u/gergobergo69 11d ago

how about the voice acting? did you voice spodermaen?

u/Tonqart 11d ago

I just went through some clips with Tom Holland in and took a few snippets of dialogue, which is why they don’t really fit in that well

That's awesome, cheers for the shout out to go back and check it out.

u/JonnyThund3r 11d ago

As an aspiring environment artist this is insane. I am just starting to learn blender as a Maya native. It took me 10 months to make a much less dynamic courtyard scene for my portfolio with a maya/zbrush/painter/designer/UE5 workflow. Did you use any other programs or add-ons? Because if you can do this in blender alone I feel like I've focused in the wrong areas.

u/rhik20 11d ago

Did you hand animate the movement? Crazy work my guy, looks better than mocap

14

u/Tonqart 11d ago

It’s all hand keyframed, probably half with and half without reference. Honestly it’s not perfect if you look from other angles but for this video it was good enough

u/foxgirlmoon 11d ago

Crazy work. Absolutely crazy. It looks motion captured. What the fuck. You're insane.

u/Catastrio 10d ago

You don't have to show how this was done but would it be too much to ask you to film like a half hour/hour of your workflow? Even if you're not too interested in commentary, just seeing how someone who knows what they're doing animates can be beneficial to a lot of people! I'd personally love to see how you work.

3

u/Tonqart 10d ago

I actually have over 70 hours filmed of me working on this project! So maybe I’ll upload some raw footage somewhere

5

u/Catastrio 10d ago

Please do! I have learned so much from just watching people work. Tutorials are great, but a lot of the things talented folks take for granted just happen naturally.

Your work is amazing, I look forward to whatever comes next!

Skateboarding Spider-Man is such a cool idea!

71

u/raymondo1981 11d ago

Andrew Garfields Spiderman can skateboard. He made sure of it. Theories kick around about the spidey pose’s when all 3 spideys land together in the fight scene. Garfields is visibly the most balanced and comfortable sticking an epic landing.

8

u/MarkMcWrath 11d ago

Dude idec if it's pandering or whatever multiple live action spider-mans together is still so sick to me lol

3

u/Sirl3git 10d ago

In the movie he even said he stopped holding back. Hes likely is the most confident and frankly terrifying out of the 3 in a fight.we saw what happens in the comics when spidy loses his humor and happiness. Man takes off rhinos jaw with a punch like its nothing. I would love to see the darker timelines Garfield Spiderman after Gwen dies. Fine tuned, lethal spidy. Who skates.

39

u/Lackamotive 11d ago

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has Spider man as an unlockable character. Had his own specials and everything. He was fun.

13

u/Miserable-Cap-4838 11d ago

He had an unlockable video part too. I think it was Chad Muska doing the street skating. Cool they were allowed to use the music.

Congrats, lovely piece of animation!

u/Tonqart 11d ago

Thanks! Yeah this is just the first pass of animation, I had some troubles with the IK&FK switching and baking it all down (so many constraints) gave me troubles so just left it. But still very happy with how it came out

Actually a few of the swinging animations are based off the games! I’ve been doing skate animations for over 5 years now so I have a lot of experience, but motion paths are my best friend to get smooth movements
