LOVERS [3D Mini AMV]

HELLO this is my final for my 3D intro course... animation/compositing/grass/berries are all mine but the character rig and low poly trees and bushes are borrowed assets so don't give me credit for em!
This was an Experience to make and I learned a lot both from my previous exercises and from everything I had to conjure for this. I barely touched 3D before this class so I'm super glad to be over the initial learning curve now! I also learned that the rendering process is hell on earth please do not ask me what it took to get this out of maya

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks for your support on this!! I was a little uncertain about how well 3D would be recieved since my usual medium is hand-drawn 2D but I'm glad people like it! I might experiment a bit more on my own time when I get the chance!

[@KoenDraws]

I'M SCREAMING THAT RUN CYCLE IS EVERYTHINGGG

[@CherrySpotArt]

This is VERY nicely stylized!! Huge fan of the movements and drawn portions

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks!! I'm glad it comes through well!

[@ssamberrymochi3629]

[@ratxentherat]

finally a 3d animator that focuses on the animation part of 3d animation

[@bingdinggold1877]

Yo the scenery gave me chills. I love the way the world kinda dropoffs. It reminded me of the way my dreams look. That was crazy

[@yourlocalvalley]

OH THIS IS GORGEOUS???? IM SCREAMING the animation is absolutely STUNNING im so obsessed with this

[@ezzyrizzipop]

Oh my gosh an animation using Lovers by KILTRO?? Absolutely amazing

[@EtherealFlicker]

Yess I LOVE kiltro so much

[@ezzyrizzipop]

[@Flamestorm1622]

​@ezzyrizzipop, there's a Warrior cats map that uses this song and you don't have to No, the books to enjoy the art and music. :)

[@Beegirl12345]

[@CatchThesePaws]

RAAAHHH I LOVE KILTRO THIS IS SO COOLLLLLLLL

[@AustinANimates]

[@laUrelZxg118]

[@Kona_Brewed]

Kiltro recognition RAAAA

[@TheHydrakeHydra]

Love that run cycle!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thank you!!

[@CatKnack0825]

Wait this actually bops-

[@corvusmonedula]

wow just wow

[@ennungames]

You are such a beautiful animator ❤

[@SaturnSeraphim]

INCREDIBLY cool!!!

[@halfwayATfinish]

KILTRO! Yesssss

[@kaylewolf]

adorable

[@fievsol]

Wow i love the 2d/3d integration in this, looks so nice!!! insta subscribed

[@EtherealFlicker]

Tysm!!

[@JumpdeArt]

Wow!! Incredible work, feels very natural and I love the hand drawn elements!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks! Incorporating 2D is very fun

[@-emenems-]

I like this a lot!

[@ToxicServalFox]

YOOO no clue you picked up 3d animation, that is AWESOME!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks!!! And yeah just this January! Had to take a proper college course to get myself over the learning curve, could NOT do it on my own

[@DarleenaCanania]

This is so cool! I hope you gain more subs!

[@ScientistCat]

Scary! would hate to find myself chased like this D:

[@chengaanimates2108]

ooooo pretty!

[@squirrel670]

Amazing, im subscribing

[@xxchocoecaramell]

dudee this is mesmerizing!!! and I completely get that Maya render trauma, for that alone u did so gud!!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks so much! It is a PAIN to get the rendering set up well... 6+ hours of troubleshooting at least for this.

[@xxchocoecaramell]

@@EtherealFlicker not to mention when the render preview takes at least a full hour when u just need to see if that one light is right 💀

[@EtherealFlicker]

@@xxchocoecaramell Ugh yes... you have to turn the sampling settings way way down when you're actually working even though it makes all those fireflies pop up

[@gayrurumon]

Very nicely animated. I like facial expressions, as well as how realistically "animalistic" the movements of the creature feel, particularly in the shot where it looks at the berries.

[@RavenLunatic517]

I'm not usually a fan of 3d animation memes but this was absolutely sick!! I love all the subtle details and movements, and the run animation was absolutely beautiful!

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

Never had a chance to outrun.

[@Tarragon-kh6ko]

Can’t understate, this is amazing, gorgeous, just absolutely amazing. The animation is smooth yet crisp with the simple background and ream-like colours, with the 2d making the 3D stand out more in the best way possible. Just amazing! So impressive for a a small channel as well.

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks so much!!

[@TawnyFurWCUEYT]

THIS SONG AND STUFF HAPPENING IN THE VIDEO REMINDS ME OF THE ‘Mr Fear 2’ MAP AAA

[@Isofyre]

That animation is super well done! I really enjoyed the attention to detail in the walk cycle

[@RosasFenerus]

I love this so much!!! That run cycle is everything! :D

[@justine4581]

I knew i recognised the Agora rig!! It looks awesome, always love seeing 3D animation meme!

[@bwezil]

Dude your colors are ON POINT!!! You did a really good job rendering the lighting and the mood of this scene, and it really makes it feel natural in a way I haven’t seen in a lot of 3D animation. Love it!!!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Tysm!!

[@quengren]

You're actually the coolest animator I've ever seen. So much of this is so innovative and I love how you integrate 2d and 3d

[@EtherealFlicker]

Agh thank you that means a lot!!

[@fadedandfriends5612]

Cool

[@Sad_Roxi]

THE RUN CYCLE OMGGG

[@PixelaGames2000]

YOO. This looks so clean! It’s giving me the vibes of a PS2 game for some reason. This looks sick!

[@flyingfoox1365]

I love the combination of 2d and 3d!

[@Chip2Changeling]

One of the best solo-made 3d animations ive seen on youtube!! good stuff, keep it up!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thank you, that means a lot!!

[@Chip2Changeling]

@@EtherealFlicker of course! you picked some really well-made rigs to use, and the motions feel super natural and well-made! Love the overlaying of 2D animation as well, one of my favorite effects by far :]

[@JMPT]

Truly Nice 💙💜♥️🖤🖤

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks!

[@JMPT]

:)

[@FunnyKat]

holy SHIT

[@samytamayo9736]

Entiendo cuando son furros, pero cuando son animales me hace preguntarme; En donde esta la salud mental del creador mientras dibujaba animales, literalmente animales, ni siquiera furros. ANIMALES

[@stacypav1044]

Very cool!! I love how you combined 3d and 2d!

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thanks so much!!

[@parrot_drag5310]

omg so good lemme eat it you cooking

[@apoole54]

Did you make a good grade

[@Cardboardclouds-to4vg]

This is so good! What species are they btw? They’re adorable :0 Sorry if you’ve answered this before I didn’t see if you did

[@EtherealFlicker]

Thank you! And it's just a sort of alien cat- I didn't sculpt the rig itself but you can find details about it in the agora link in the description!

[@Cardboardclouds-to4vg]

@@EtherealFlicker awesome thanks!

[@JoeWere]

Hey there, mind If I'll remake audio, fx and such? With your credits to animation of course.

[@EtherealFlicker]

I'd rather you wouldn't since I don't like my stuff reposted in any capacity but thank you for asking first!

[@JoeWere]

@@EtherealFlicker Aww and I was already hearing those steps with some reverbs.. oh well, good luck there.

[@chuuchuuutrain]

what are these creatures called

[@ruffruggednraw]

50k

[@Skyler_wcue]

What app is that ?

[@EtherealFlicker]

Educational version of Maya 2024!

[@ForzenHorizonZero4down]

I hate KZbin, it's trying to turn me into a furry, despite the fact that I've been clicking "not interested" for several years

[@SnakeDude.]

LMAO quit commenting on “furry” videos then? Also, this isn’t even… what??? The character there isn’t even anthro, it’s just a fantasy species of animal. I don’t really see what’s so bad about being a furry anyway (seeing as it’s basically a subcategory of cosplay where you dress up in an animal suit), but even so, if you really don’t want to, no video is gonna change it anyway.

[@ForzenHorizonZero4down]

@@SnakeDude. I left a comment because I was boiling, this is not the first time, KZbin doesn’t give me a chance. I hope that those who have suffered morally like me will stop here. To the question “There is no anthro here” - what’s on the channel’s avatar? And for furries, ferals are just part of their routine.

[@LeoparDusk]

This is the funnier comment I have ever seen. If you’re repeatly being recommended the same types of content, the only one to blame is you. What’s wrong with these videos anyway? This just an animation with beautiful scenery and character design, just running around. Hardly offensive I’d say. What’s so wrong about it?

[@wolfywlf3983]

this video isn’t even about furrys also if you don’t want to keep seeing “furry”videos in your recommendations click don’t recommend channel plus since you clicked on this video more videos like this are likely to show up in your recommendations

[@ForzenHorizonZero4down]

@@LeoparDusk Wa-wa-wa-wait a minute! I say something bad toward the video?
