So I challenged myself to Animate TF2 Characters every day for a month...

[@Tistan01]

I LOVE the idea of a Valve character beat-em-up where the valve itself is the Smash Ball of sorts. It's a super cool idea, especially the cutscene where the valve is on the character's head!

[@turmadogalego7963]

how would it work on a headcrab tho without it loooking like its in his ass

[@tomthebat394]

Yea! that would be such a cool way to be like "oh shit better run"

[@Anomidae]

and this concludes my "what the hell have I been working on the past few months" trilogy. More to come, don't worry. Thanks for watching everyone!

[@DotffJ]

These are all sick, dude! Keep up the good work!

[@smallt4814]

very epic

[@ml1kok]

YOU JUST HAD TO PUT THE X AT THE END MANNNNNN (seriously though amazing animation. you deserve all the recognition and more.)

[@ahealthkit2745]

Wow! Exciting stuff.

[@AdamMady]

1:40 ok so the woman instead of just typing "soldier dies" she decides to type "huge vault crushes soldier" very great and amazing thinking (jokes aside cool animation)

[@ir0ncat_]

these interloper demos are getting weirder by the second

[@uberrex8073]

Lol

[@LargeCoke_Mediumfry]

Legit what I thought, until I realized it wasn’t part of the arg

[@EngyneMac]

Shut up

[@eliescobis9922]

Lmao

[@daniellllllllI]

type 5 demos

[@serixskylark]

That medic kick animation was so insane to me lmao. Just very fluid even without the extra frames

[@Nicotrie]

I love intentionally low framerate animation

[@powering_unity6150]

Really reminds me of claymation or old stop motion animations.

[@railfandepotproductions]

Spiderverse style

[@shrimpaerospace]

Same

[@badgamingtwo4981links]

yeah its gonna be my animation style

[@hifomi]

amazing job anomi ❤ you're such a hard worker, and it really shows here love the music and sound effects

[@cheapturbo6439]

1:58 "one must imagine Sisyphus happy"

[@JustaBLUToon]

You would not imagine the smile on my face when I saw Guard Dog. Glad to see that he hasn't been forgotten

[@monkegaming1681]

These animations are great keep up the good work

[@TheBreadPirate]

You did such a good job at telling a story in a short time. Each clip was compelling!

[@antlionworkerfan2007]

Oh hey, didn’t expect to see the bread pirate commenting on one of anomidaes videos

[@TheBreadPirate]

What can I say. I love this guy's work. @@antlionworkerfan2007

[@cosmicsnacks1191]

​@@TheBreadPirateI love your content man! 😊😊

[@OMGonemoregamer]

2:18 Guard dog animation is jsut freaking adorable 😭

[@SpacerZVEVO]

If TF2 ever has end of round animations like Overwatch, they'd better hire you to do them

[@cloud682]

I seen some of those animations on Twitter earlier. Still can't process how can you do that in 80 minutes, but you sit in SFM since forever so that's just skill. Really cool btw.

[@ShorK]

So good

[@Lily-ed8fl]

The choppy look is SO nostalgic and charming! I adore it. Also, the brawlhalla style was very cute.

[@bucket6079]

I think it's smash bros not brawlhalla

[@Lily-ed8fl]

@@bucket6079 it's difficult to tell as theyre both platform fighters, but the physics feels wrong for smash. bh is a lot lighter and floatier, with the low pyro throws out feeling VERY brawlhalla. its hard to describe but idk, it matches the look of it more in my eyes

[@bucket6079]

​@@Lily-ed8flat around 1:34 pyro grabs on the ledge of the platform, which is only possible in smash. the floatiness is also because smash is also a bit floaty

[@bucket6079]

​@@Lily-ed8flalso, at 2:45 demo grabs an upgrade thingie, which in brawlhalla would usually give u weapons, not a special ability

[@AdamMady]

1:40 ok so the woman instead of just typing "soldier dies" she decides to type "huge vault crushes soldier" very great and amazing thinking

[@azteccrov6113]

3:02 oh my god is this a boulder? Oh my god i can't unsee it now

[@CozyOrSomething]

*"One must imagine Heavy Weapons Guy happy."*

[@HOURHAK]

me and the birds by duster starts playing

[@andrix7777]

oh damn, guess i remembered about interloper at the perfect time lol. finished watching 5 and subscribed + turned notifs on (i thought they were already on lol), watched 6 and saw that this was posted in notifications

[@theboyonewins2698]

true lol

[@DitieBun]

these are sick, glad we even got to see mimi lmao

[@Katy133]

Amazing work! I love the solid posing, especially with details like Medic's coat tails swishing as he spin kicks.

[@CrustyNug01]

Two possibilities, either this has nothing to with the Interloper ARG, or it does. 1) It is part of the Interloper ARG. - The video is called "I challenged myself... every day for a month..." A month has at max 31 days, so there should only be at maximum 31 animations. Yet somehow there are 42? (maybe Anomidae didn't exactly work for a month, but slightly longer) Also he mentioned that it takes two days to for him to create a animation, meaning he either had to work for 84 days on this (which is longer than a month) or used some kind of tool to create or at least assist in creating animations for him. - Some Animations look choppy, others very smooth, one of the ones that is very smooth uses a civilian model, which isn't from TF2 but HλLF-LIFE². (to be fair, there are plenty models that aren't from TF2, so this could just be a coincidence) Hinting, but not proving, at the fact that they might have been generated by the interloper command, or at least use the dynamic npcs, and weren't handmade. 2) It isn't part of the Interloper ARG. -Except for the appearence of the civilian model from HλLF-LIFE², it has nothing to do with the Interloper ARG as far as we can tell. In conclusion, I personally believe that his video could prove to have lore significant content in the future, we just don't know it yet. TLDR: There are way to many animations for the timespan Anomidae provides, and some animations look smoother than other ones, there was also a civilian model which could've been a dynamic npc. This video might be part of the ARG. In any case, those were some pretty good animations

[@pigslopenjoyer4595]

I mean, the video ends with the red “X” which definitely signifies it plays into project skybox; also with the fact than animidae himself isn’t hearting any comments that mention project skybox. Showing that “in the arg” this is what he’s been doing for the last 3 months.

[@something_unearthed]

???

[@Sivves]

omg gamw jackr!!!! stop jacking on my gamw boro!!

[@MagikalKrabical]

I like how for day 10 we know exactly what class that's meant to be

[@-RoClox-]

These type 6 demos looking sick

[@cloxurf9603]

Congrats to Anomi for using tf2 sfm for that much without wanting to delete himself.

[@osbornethaumiel]

1:50 That's just fucking funny.

[@GameRevo]

The small bits of lighting used for emphasis on days 16 and 18 are lovely.

[@KingGodzillaTM]

Ohhhh so thats what you were doing on the discord, I loved it btw!

[@flyingpiggles1034]

Imagine my surprise when my friend told me the guy who made my absolute favorite arg of all time also used my funny little mini sentry girl in one of his animations. Its an honor! Great work both inside and outside of your work on Interloper.

[@personwhodoesthings3075]

these animations have opened my 3rd eye thank you

[@wbbwwbbww]

Yooo Keep up with the Good Work Your Improving! More Experiencing and Playbacks neither which if it is bad or smooth its still good

[@jexami]

Love the use of lower framates throughout these, and the camerawork too! Not to mention just the super fun concepts and execution of the animation sequences througout :> Glad you’re having fun with other projects outside SKY//BOX too!

[@allanmarkersdagreyt9731]

interloper demo type 6,demos that show sfm animations of characters consisting of characters form tf1/2,hl1/2,lfd1/2,portal1/2 and many more source engine games

[@JellO-no]

Fantastic work! I love the personality that was put into each animation. Keep it up!

[@Scapemass]

This is how I imagine TF2 would be like if it had end of match animations for MVPs

[@rythmicrice471]

0:28 sperm racing to reach the egg scientific diagram.

[@smugdodofart27]

Dude these are incredible! It looks like such a fun exercise and the perspectives are amazing wonderful work man!

[@MaxLai_0104]

interloper type 6 demos found & confirmed to be real

[@pencilshavings2403]

Beautiful, your animations are very distinct and can tell they’re made with purpose. It isn’t easy to do something like this in respect to your full time job and life. (Great music choice btw)

[@ellasorellabrella]

this is a really impressive challenge and the results are very pleasing to watch

[@Arshlim]

I can´t wait for more awesome works from you after (that work c ; ) in the future

[@cade4505]

You're going to have a busy year, Anomidae!!!

[@jessethecomet]

Great work as always Anom

[@k-chick]

Absolutely beautiful my dude

[@wizarde3007]

i don't know why but this storyboardish kind of animation always feels like home for me.

[@CODAC666]

This is one of the greatest animation quality I've ever seen. Amazing!

[@NeonicusReal]

wtf this is crazy, subbing for that.

[@TheImmediatePastPrez]

That conclusion felt really epic. Fantastic work btw 👏

[@sanstheyoutuber]

Damn with 40 minutes to make a animation you made things better than me with 3 days of time

[@Fury614]

These are really good Anomi! For just 40 minutes a day, managing as much as you did in only 42 days is amazing! Keep up the great work c:

[@orange_text]

this was quite the unique fever dream

[@muoi_art]

These are awesome!! I hope to be as good as you one day :)

[@robot5680]

Incredibly impressive, you should be very proud of your work!

[@welcometochiles6156]

Hit us with that red X lol

[@lazyysheeps]

the spy animation on robot heavy was sick

[@lazyysheeps]

nvm pyro smash bros was the best

[@southcarolinianentertainment]

2:27 "Ain't that a good boy!" -Engineer (STBlackST)

[@mikoblixel]

thumbs up for the doggo, very real

[@jab7474]

spiderverse-y animation just works so well for tf2. makes me wish valve made the meat the team videos in this style.

[@tob_arts]

I love the style!

[@edgyeggplant7426]

Love your style

[@nartuz5016]

My only complaint is that Saxton would be able to lift that rock with his pinkie alone, but you did amazing job anomi lol

[@roopkusism2386]

Amazing work! Those animations are so sick!

[@JaceWind]

Some people just ooze talent, and you are definitely one of them.

[@GalagoospurmankyREALofficial]

Absolutely beautiful and deserves way more recognition.

[@GalaxySource]

Hey i saw you! Your videos in the SFM server. Good Job Dude!

[@sracz20000]

Wow these animations are so clean! Great job!

[@capp4198]

It’s crazy the quality of stuff you can make in an hour and 20 minutes per animation

[@SomeBsMovie]

I'm sure this will fit into the interloper canon somehow

[@gamingmarci.002]

i LOVE the choppy art style. it's such a unique (and probably quite a hard one too at that) style, dont stop the grind man! :D

[@thenightmare666.]

Best arg and animator....like for real you have just as good talent as ceno0

[@sunlandia2497]

Nice job dude, I didn't think you would use zeph and pauling

[@CallmeAlexey]

i just, cant believe they only have 80 minutes put into them... gosh, i love them and your style so much!

[@VeryHighPriest]

This is all so insanely impressive

[@RedKrasnoye]

This is sooo cool I would love to see a behind the scenes type video It would very fun to see and pretty informative

[@Thoth0333]

crucial interloper lore moment at 0:53

[@SuB-mt6nv]

You had no idea just how accurate you were

[@MildlyTrash]

Oh man, that's pretty cool. Honestly that's a good idea to do the animation a day challenge but with SFM, never seen it done before. Can't imagine the pain you went through to do it though.

[@SrgAfro]

this kicks butt! happy to see some of your animation prowess outside of the series. cant recall seeing sfm done in this stop-motioning sort of style either theres a lot of character to it

[@camara23]

Me gusto el progreso (mean i like the progress, he dicho bien?) 🙃

[@TomochiTheGreat]

yo is that FLEX britblub guitar 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Myolio_Mayo]

Phenomenal work!!!!

[@HemisphereCinema]

part 2 would be cool i really love bits like these insight ful as a aspiring keyframer myself

[@DotffJ]

Tea for two, heavy weapons guy? But really, these animations are sick

[@anyarr]

This is super impressive. These shots look like they'd take me hours to make, even with just blocking. And these are pretty much all action shots too. Also, Hale lifting the rock reminds me of that video with Heavy lifting a boulder on degroot keep.

[@Kamalek_]

That's some amazing job you've done fr This challenge looks like a nice way to improve your skills, maybe i should participate in it🤔

[@zanewsandanimationteam7697]

Very good animation

[@imtrash2932]

I don't know how many people already said this but I really love your animations man. It's just so satisfying in my eyes

[@Ris137]

i am impressed great job anomi

[@mizublackriver7021]

Holyshit man I would love to see a 'making of' of some of those animations, great stuff.

[@happyunicorn]

Just wanted to say, if you are the creator of the background song, it's quite interesting to listen, and good job on making it [if again, you're the creator :), and I honestly wish to listen to the clean version without the sounds of animations, if possible] edit: It's in the description now, I can enjoy it yippee :D

[@annesavisaboonchuy]

the spy one felt like a fighting game special this is awesome!!!!!!!

[@tharxis3803]

when a great sfm animator works on an unfiction project, you get something truly incredible

[@dwhackychicken6149]

Really great animations!

[@MuhHanif-rt5wn]

Amazing work on the ballonicorn!!

[@PaveltheDicer]

Didn't know you can just type "interloper tf2" to get a tf2 demo, cool

[@OtaconNachos]

Music reminds me of Serial Experiments Lain

[@hillmanhung3846]

Good stuff, cheers man

[@kitpvpyay1682]

You have got to be one of the most talented people in the source community, ever. Like, you created an extremely realistic (probably the most realistic) and technical horror series. Its complete insane how you managed to plan this all out, do all the work in a whole year, then perfectly give upload times, making it ridiculously believable. This just shows that you still want to improve, which is amazing, considering how good you already are.

[@Engineer_124]

This animation was masterpiece

[@itsabouttome]

Inspiring, I dare say. I'm still learning how to do blocking and get my timing right without using too many keyframes.

[@The_Innocuous]

These are great, I keep rewatching them over and over.

[@YoGurt252]

you might as well get into making sfm films, your work is awesome mate.
