Hello, I loved the reel, did you do this in Maya? And one last question, are the overlapping of the deaths done with physics, by key or some addons?

@animatortrav 2 ай бұрын

Hi @jannodess! Thank you for the kind words! We did use Maya, yep! In fact, I've worked in the industry since 2006, and only 2 years of that in another program, for which I had tools to make it perform like Maya :D There was no physics used in this reel, nor addons. All hand keyed. One thing I've found true about anims such as deaths, when you're doing the settle, just take like 20-30 extra frames to let the curves come to a more gradual stop. I notice in a lot of "death" animations that the motion hits a wall because the animator just allows the curve to end without easing it out. So using a leg as an example, when the character falls to the ground on their back, add a few slight bounces on the heel of the foot, with offset rotation pivoting on the heel. Allow the rotation to pivot a few more times after the bounce has stopped, and follow like 4 frames behind that rotation with the knee PV. This will create a natural "jiggle" in the leg that will sell the "weight" coming to a stop.

@@animatortrav Thanks for the answer, I see the death animation as very natural or physically correct, I find that it is a difficult part since you have to give weight to that overlap and have everything react to the moment of the fall, thanks again

It’s funny you should say that! When I first showed the blocking (rough animation) for “Lawn Dart,” the lead animator said that exact thing. “Most of these look like he’s trying to efficiently kill the enemy. This one looks like he’s literally saying “F*** YOU!” Hahaha! Thanks for the kind words!

Actually like a lot of the character in the default Armoured spartan IV's animations. Don't know how it would've fit into multiplayer but it looks really smooth and expressive for just someone in a hunk of Armor.
