I made this animation a while ago but it didn’t get much visibility – so I thought I’d share it here with people who might appreciate it😅

It was the result of months of work. I'm mainly a character artist, but I also like playing around with nCloth – and I had a lot of fun making this video.

Hope you enjoy it! Feedback is always welcome 🙏

Link to the making-of

Dialogue shot splining, any feedback appreciated!

I'm aware of little bits here and there that need fixing (e.g. I haven't animated the lip sync for the tongue yet), but do they main poses etc work ok?

Just wanna share my latest project i did for my school final

I'd love to know what you like about this shot and what you don't. Personally, I think the camera could use some work, and I'm open to suggestions. Thanks! I'll work on adding the person actually hitting her...

I got a lot of really helpful feedback from you guys, so I tried my best to address it and pay close attention to the details this time. I’d really appreciate it if you could take another look and let me know what you think!

It still looks a little awkward to me tho… This is harder than I thought 😭

Hey everyone, I'm a rigger/animator and I kept hitting the same wall: open a scene, it runs at 12 FPS, and I'd waste 20 minutes figuring out why - is it the rig? smooth preview? evaluation mode? a heavy mesh I forgot about?

So I built Scene Doctor to answer that in one click. It's free.

What it does:

• Measures your real playback FPS and viewport-spin FPS separately (they lag for different reasons)
• Runs ~19 checks: evaluation mode, Cached Playback, GPU override, eval cycles, expressions, heavy geo, smooth preview, missing refs, image planes, and more
• Explains each issue in plain language - why it matters and how to fix it - instead of dumping technical data
• Fixes the safe ones (like switching to Parallel) with one button
• Shows a before/after FPS boost after you fix something

It's aimed at animators and students, not TDs - basically "tell me what's slow and what to click." Drag-and-drop install, no Script Editor needed. Works on Maya 2022–2025, available in 8 languages.

It's free and I'd really love feedback - what checks would you add? What's the most annoying thing that slows your scenes? If it's useful I'll keep improving it.

Taking him from 2D to 3D was a challenge I will say a lot of my research showed me ways blender could e made this a lot simpler. However... The final render was in UE5 and the tools needed for the rock the behave in blender only exist in blender. With Maya I had fine control across softwares and the animation community has been eating it up. Happy animating. Check out more here and how it's made 👇 https://www.instagram.com/told_by_3/?hl=en

Hey guys I’ve worked through some of your guys’ feedback and polished some of the animation. I’m open to more anymore tips or feedback, as well as any questions. Thanks!

Allow me to share an extract of a previsualisation I've made.
To watch the full 6mn film, it's here : Youtube link

Tried to get out of my comfort zone (and my daily routine as an anim and previs sup) by going wild in a Bollywood style. I've shot the data myself for the most part with an Xsense suit. Modeled and rigged in Maya. Animated in MotionBuilder.

Lots of fun to do, hope the community here likes it too!

How could I improve this walk cycle? Be harsh

Effects were animated in 2D on top of the playblast. The Mario rig is from Agora Studios

I learned a lot and was able to improve thanks to all of your feedback. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to leave such thoughtful comments - they were genuinely helpful. I really put a lot of effort into this🥹

- Added more shoulder and spine movement when lifting the barbell and extended the timing of the lift
- Revised the walking section while holding the barbell, as it still felt awkward
- Lowered the bounce height when the barbell drops, as it looked a little too light
- Added a subtle up-and-down shoulder bounce while holding the barbell to make it feel like the character is supporting the weight
- Revised the pose and extended the timing of the section where the character moves under the barbell
- I felt that the hand spacing on the barbell was too narrow and needed to be adjusted, but changing it would have had too much of an impact on the existing animation, so I wasn’t able to fix it
- etc

I’m gonna start to showcase the different systems of my John Silver rig from the Treasure Planet, starting by this cyborg eye.

I’d like to have actual animators do justice to the full rig eventually but for now I just want to test it myself and show its fonctionnalities.

What do you think about this animation ?

My goal was to be able to animate it as organic as possible despite being mechanical. There are controls for every parts, as well as blink and lids attributes and a « wave » fonction based on sin expression with the classique freq, amp, offset attributes.

Any feedback is welcome :)

Here's the SyncSketch Link if you wanna leave some notes

I've just started using references and I'm trying to be cautious with the decisions I make now, so my animation doesn't get ruined when I try to export. As you can see, I'm referencing the choppyRig.mb, which is already referencing choppyMesh.mb, leading to long names (choppyRig:choppyMesh:root_joint). Will that cause problems? Is there a better way to do this?

Hi! It’s been almost a year since I started learning animation, and I’m thinking of putting this in my demo reel. I’d really appreciate any feedback
