Gameplay Animation Showreel - Bleeding Edge (2020) | Warwick Mellow

It has been a huge privilege overseeing the animation on Bleeding Edge and being responsible for animating the complete set of animations for 7 player characters! This ‘Gameplay Animation Showreel’ showcases a selection of the animations I created for Daemon, Níðhöggr, Buttercup, Miko, Cass, Gizmo and El Bastardo. All animations have been captured from Unreal Engine and appear as they do in-game. 100% keyframe - enjoy!
A huge shout-out to David Garcia (davidgarciadiaz.squarespace.com/) who cut the music for this reel from his, and Jamie Molloy’s (jamiemolloysound.com/original) tracks for Bleeding Edge.
The wonderful FX have been left in to create context for the attacks and abilities - created by Tobias Noller (artstation.com/tobiastobasco).
Character Models: Bao Vu (artstation.com/baovu).
Rigging: Jacob Feeley (artstation.com/jfeez).
All this would not have been possible without my collaboration with Rahni Tucker, Creative Director and Combat Designer Extraordinaire.

That electric guitar zombie-android deserved to be in a waaaaaaaay better game. Those animations are otherworldly -- could have been the star in his own game.

[@H3XxMAjiN]

The chicken legs lady design is so unique. i love how graceful she is when doing an attack

[@qyutotube]

This is a really awesome reel! It's rare that you come across a reel that both shows off the artists' abilities but is also entertaining. That TeddyMecha was mindblowing! Excellent work, Sir! 😎👍

[@Qulize]

Never heard of this game. Apparently it's a multiplayer game that was abandoned after only a year or so.

[@michelepasserino9531]

Wow

[@puddingmotion6971]

where did you learn to do this?

[@hasaanqureshiii]

Siccccckkkkkkk

[@lavalambchops]

I'm starting college for game art and design this year, your a huge inspiration man so glad I found your channel. I want to do this so bad but I have very little 3D experience, gonna give it my all wish me luck!!! is there anything you would say to a starting out game animator?

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

Study anatomy to understand the biomechanics of movement, don't be afraid to use video reference and become a fanatical hobbyist! Read everything you can about animation, follow tutorials and saturate yourself in the medium. Don't allow perfectionism to bog you down early on. Create an animation and then abandon it and move on. It takes 1000s of hours to get good so just keep at it :) Good luck!

[@lavalambchops]

​@@WarwickEwanMellow I really appreciate it seriously, that's real advice from a pro, I'm really gonna treasure that. perfectionism is something I struggled with for the longest time and I eventually realized how much it held me back, mentally I really feel like I can do this now, I'm happy just to create and feel passion for something.

[@fluff3737]

What software was this done in? Maya or 3DS Max?

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

Maya - rendered in Unreal Engine

[@cgmaster]

@@WarwickEwanMellow Can this level of awesomeness be achieved in 3DS Max?)

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

@@cgmaster Sure! A program doesn't make you a good animator ;) Your commitment to the craft does.

[@masterzoroark6664]

I like the character design in this game Sad the game itself died shortly after arrival

[@camrendavis6650]

Cass lookin fit

[@gamej7946]

What software did you use to achieve the effects?

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

My good friend Tobias Noller created them all in Unreal Engine

[@PilliDineshKarthik]

Nakkuda frnd uvnnadra vadu peru akash (vadu pattukunte unreal ni pukpakadisthadu )

[@Vovinharts]

Did you really animate everything on unreal engine??

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

Animated in Maya :) exported to Unreal

[@Vovinharts]

@@WarwickEwanMellow niceeeeee Ill try doing that instead of rendering it in maya lol

[@Vovinharts]

@@WarwickEwanMellow sorry for bothering again but do you know som great tutorials for animating like this. My school focuses too much on the generalist and we don’t have much animation. I really want to be an animator and get internship whether it’s game or film💪🏻💪🏻. Thank youuu

[@sainttan]

I kind a also wish this was fighting game.

[@mumentho8598]

Read the title it says gameplay animation....... The name of the game is bleeding edge........

[@MR.BUCK_MAN]

in which software did you create this animation characters ?

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

Animated in Maya, models built using Zbrush etc.

[@gavindell6682]

Are those fx from Unreal or Maya?

[@WarwickEwanMellow]

Unreal - by Tobias Noller artstation.com/tobiastobasco
