[@NeobieYT]

The cinematography, the posing, the movement, the comedy. This is the kind of quality I've come to expect from you and you only keep getting better

[@big_sea]

yes

[@TheRealMagicMan]

pure art.

[@KennyIta]

this proves that he has 3k hours on sfm

[@user-kr7yh8vw9m]

And SFM is one of the key reasons for why TF2 is still alive and well even today.

[@gamingphone7201]

If only it wasn't 3 fps

[@Loafdd]

I enjoy that the general medium of animation has learned to stop focusing on smooth movements and high fidelity and has learned the importance and punch that key frames have. A strong foundation is better than drowning something in smoothness.

[@rooscuro77]

You'll see when everyone does the same and people go to complain. It's not that it's better, it's that it's "new". I just hope they don't burn and generate a balance in different types of animation

[@camwin7]

At last, the death of default easing curves

[@watersomic]

@@rooscuro77 Most professional animators work in keyframes first and foremost, so it's not really "new" in that regard. What's new is releasing animation that's choppy, which is more like releasing simple but appealing rough sketches on a final draft instead of jumping to in-betweening and lighting with only a first draft of rough sketches as a base. With the first method it might not be as "pretty" as a fully rendered walk-cycle in 60 fps, but that usually gives the animator more time to push other things like composition, timing, and nuances where it counts. I'd argue that from an "economics" perspective of labor and time, it's actually very much "better" in a very measurable way. From a storytelling perspective, choppy keyframes with punch is way more important to prioritize. This may be personal preference, but if someone on finite time is going to "rush" animation, I'd much rather they stick to good but choppy keyframes versus smoothened but compositionally weak animation. This goes double when it's even somewhat debatable in some cases if smooth animation will help with certain scenes.

[@PAPicturesOfficial]

You can thank a certain group of Spider-People for that 😉😉🕷️🕸️

[@Thornskade]

What? Drown in smoothness? I never once saw an act play in real life or in a film and thought 'this is too smooth' Keyframes are important, smoothness maybe less so, I still prefer smooth images. This seems to just have become an excuse for hiding imperfect animation. Smooth, if done properly, will still look better. A lot of people don't like choppy animation, it can feel unfinished, for some it's harder to watch, causing unease

[@SwiggitySwarker]

It took him 3000 hours in this one project alone to create this masterpiece. Bravo.

[@sing159]

No, you're wrong this is his 3,000 hours on sfm not taking 3,000 hours to make this animation

[@darienb1127]

​@@sing159He was begin sarcastic.

[@0hNothing]

@@sing159areee you dumb....?

[@Nik1_]

1000 hours he worked on animation and 2000 hours fixing animation bugs.

[@Pudding404]

Improvement clear as day and night from after nearly 10 years. Wonderful work, can't wait for the remake of the remake after another 10 years, haha.

[@user-vh1ht1sm7d]

The Yamcha death pose is a cherry on top😭

[@SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

Hot damn, quite the difference after 9 years! Incredible to see the difference and progress :D

[@doot4246]

[@dokomni]

[@SirPembertonS.Crevalius]
