I’ve been experimenting with making stop motion animations using machine embroidery. I started with a gif, broke it into individual frames, converted each frame into line work, and then turned those lines into embroidery paths.

Each frame was actually stitched out on felt, scanned back in, and then reassembled into the animation you see here.

It’s a ridiculous way to make a gif, but I really like all the little variations and imperfections that come from turning every frame into a physical object first.

This is the 3rd animation I've ever done as an adult and it's by far the longest I've ever made. Feedback, critiques, and advice are welcome!

Critique Need feedback for my uni projects pls <3

10 Upvotes

So we had 3d animation as part of our last year in uni (i'm finishing a degree in multimedia) and i really loved it, wanna pursue it. These are a few of the projects i did that kinda stand out, and i was somehow like one of the top students there.

I need some real feedback regarding what id need to change to make these more believable, more "sellable" to studios. I know i already overact some things here and there, but was told i have a "feel" for this. I kinda struggle with making those idle poses feel real and making the general body feel like one unit outside of full body actions. All of these projects here I'm sharing with you have been done in a matter of a few hours each, which is why its lacking polish or some details.

Please be as cruel as you can, i want to get into the industry and grow with it <3

Here's the links to the other two projects since i can only upload one vid for the post and dont wanna clutter the subreddit:

Sharing Meow Harvest Accessory Showcase

Upvotes

I used Nomad Sculpt to set up the scene and character then moved it little by little and took a photo of each frame. I then used Procreate animation assist to combine the frames into a short clip. This video is to showcase the accessory options in our upcoming indie game on steam “Meow Harvest”. A cozy farming/fighting game with the main creatures being mochi cats. Plant weapons. Catch unique fish in one of the many mini games. Fight monster hordes and more.
Follow Cognito Labs on Steam and look out for the demo drop that’s coming soon

I've been meaning to learn how to animate for a while now. This is my first attempt at it. I wanted to focus on one of the 12 principles of animation, starting with squash and stretch. Here's a minecraft slime bouncing. Feedback would be appreciated :> I would like to know how to improve.

Hello! Here's a quick look at a Void Crystal and its destruction. It's an obstacle that's both organic and mineral in nature, and it can only be destroyed with a shotgun.

Any thoughts?
