[@frostzing170]

The last one, with a bit more practice such as making it more of a slimey realistic texture(Which it does kind of do) and fixed the teeth could probably animate movies like Godzilla and add 3d models to real action films, can't wait to see some of these animators names in movies and shows.

Most of these should be developed into short films, feature lengths even. Just mindblowing.

[@nazekpurplesyou9739]

My favorites are: 3:56 (loved her expressions) 1:58 (this is like a scene from a movie) 3:00 (soooo good and cute) 4:25 (I laughed so much at this one)

[@drmoonrat]

What I love the most about these is the expressions and body language. CGI Animations for a long time fell into being rigid and more "Realistic" in movements. But here, you see the whole ray of motion and posture with the "Squash and Stretch" of traditional 2D animation. I love seeing that life and energy coming into 3D art work. The poses and extremes in some of these are so expressive and energetic, and play so perfectly to the camera. All very very impressive.

[@kylasoundsdank6410]

I think you might have to turn it up

[@deepfriedewok]

4:05 so freaking nuanced... better than 90% of commercial films imo.

[@nessnas8795]

[@nickjackson7853]

1:17 space balls is my favorite movie connected on an emotional level

[@nchldmn]

I have a question. I've seen everyone's assignments, but most aren't as...shiny or polished as this. Does AM take the assignments and "dress 'em up" so something?

[@Animbating]

+Animovie Ratchet Yep! If you produce something outstanding, they will light, render and comp your shot for their student showcase reel:)

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

But what about the environmental modeling? like that room with the gay couple, or the english accent scene? is it all made by the students? and the rotoscopy of the filmed scene of the monster in the city? how was that done?

[@angelainman1543]

Jesús Dawaher Bakhos the English accent scene is from the show Parks and Rec. I think there are a couple other clips that they animated from tv/movies too.

[@HysterectomyInc]

Angela Inman The chicken dance is from New Girl

[@jamiewoodward4210]

none of these answer this person's questions, but i'll try my best to answer, as i am taking animation courses at a different online school. usually, when you are in a 3D animation class or any class dedicated to making an animation as your final project, the students in that class don't have time to model and rig all the characters and model the environments. sometimes they will bring over characters and environments from previous classes, or download free ones off the internet. now, i'm not sure what class these were made in, but if it were a class where you worked as a team, there would be a character designer, character modeler/rigger, environment designer, environment modeler, and an animator (or a few), along with storyboard artists, editors, maybe prop designers/modelers, ect, though seeing as there is just one name for crediting each animation, they were most likely all made by 1 person over the course of a few classes, or that one person downloaded free characters, props and environments to animate with.

[@BergsArt]

I'm sure the students just focused on the animation, and the selected few shots that get to be in the showcase gets to be polished up with lighting and environment.

[@netrecroom6003]

BOY IN A BOX Same

[@vampirezio6996]

Cool video, but why do most of the animations from different animators all look the same in regards to character design? Did they build the models themselves or just using assets to learn how to rig and move the figures in a program?

[@vampirezio6996]

Ah cool

[@thehoiclan9826]

I think they learn the basics from the teachers. And they are told the same, so they might look the because this project might have been made early in the year, so the product would seem as basic CGI

[@user-vl8ck4gz6w]

they most likely get premade characters and maybe have to rig them themselves or just animate them modeling and creating textires is actaully a whole different subject but its good to know the basics of everything

[@BrianMarcWhittaker]

[@WisdomTooth1987]

do you need to be a good drawer to make these kinds of 3d models?

[@PhyreSpore]

+Wisdom Tooth You don't necessarily have to be a good traditional artist to make great 3D art, but the skills involved with drawing can improve what you make in 3D. Really, and general artistic knowledge is useful no matter what medium you use..

[@donnachibobini6487]

There's the concept artist that designs them, then the 3D modeler that makes them into well duh, 3D models lol its more like a teamwork thing, however they can take the profession to do both. You pretty much have to draw well for the concept art but if you can mold things well then it should be fine.

[@WisdomTooth1987]

I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is if the lack of drawing affect the form and shape?

[@PhyreSpore]

Wisdom Tooth In short, I'd probably say yes, it does. Having experience with traditional or digital drawing/painting gives you a solid base set of knowledge to work with. But, honestly, skills related to 'form and shape' are just developed over time through research and practice. I've heard that having a traditional background helps a lot and gives artists an edge when it comes to design, but I've also heard stories of people who can barely draw for scrap, but are fantastic 3D artists.

[@notalexa8287]

+Wisdom Tooth these students in the video animated already made 3d models
