I'm calling this quadruped body mechanics study complete.

It was hard, but I learned a lot and I even had some fun.

#b3d #animation #dog

A simple teal background with slight gradient is interrupted by a cartoon robot bull dog entering in profile the frame from the left. He takes a few steps as his ears gently bounce back and forth. He stops at the middle of the frame and turns towards the viewer. He cocks his head and give a short quizzical look as if he's trying to figure you out. He then turns quickly back to look forward as of someone has called his name. There's a short pause while realises that he has to get a move on and bounces off the screen in a trot. Even though he's a robot he moves just like a real dog.

Hey Fediverse, I need your help! I'm looking an app to let me and my wife share and manage a photo library. Features should include:

• Preferably locally run, either from NAS or HD.
• Remove photos.
• Create albums.
• Supports both MacOS and Linux.
• Strong preference for free/open source tools.

It's been remarkably hard to find something for this, even with paid services.

Any ideas? Reshare = ❤

The idea was simple: revisit an old tail chasing animation I did and render it in 60fps to post.

But... why Blender!? D:

I guess I will leave it with this little wisdom: remember to always wring your wet foxes. Until next time with more fox facts.

(Feels the library overrides are getting more broken with each version)

#Fox #Blender
Can I tag this with #MastoArt even? Maybe.

What did you do on your Saturday night?

Prolly wasn't as cool as me.

I made this tough looking guy walk.

#b3d #animation #blender3d

A cartoon robot bulldog is seen in a walking loop on a grey infinite background. There's 3 visible views, with the larger view on the left being from a 3 quarter angle. In the top right of the frame, the dog is shown in full profile, while on the bottom right he is seen from the front. The mostly hard metal dog happily struts along while all his flexible connectors at the joints subtly squash and stretch as he undulates along. The most notable floppy bits are his ears, which are predominately made of this flexible stretchy material. They flop along as he walks and even bounce with each step in an almost mesmerising way. Clearly the animator paid a lot of attention to this part. And good on him for giving himself a merit card in the alt text. He might celebrate by watching some netflix before going to bed later than he should.

I rigged Sky Scrapper with my #rigify stuff.

There's many things to improve on the rig but it works.

I animated a walk cycle to prove it.

#animation #b3d #blender3d

A triple view walk cycle animation test of a spandex clad man is shown. He's tall, broad shouldered with a tiny waist. He struts confidently forward wearing tight blue spandex with a bright yellow collar, oversized belt, gloves and long boots. His chiselled jawline almost hides the slight confident smirk. A single curl of hair which hangs almost perfectly above his brow gently bounces with each confident stride.

Anyone have any advice regarding Blender updates and backwards compatibility issues?

I've been trying to open a project that opens fine on 3.4 but completely crashes with no error message on 3.5. The only possible issue I can think of is that I have a hair particle simulation on that project compared to others on my system.

So I um... got a little cheeky with my social links at work. I don't have the option to add a link to my #mastodon profile, so instead I used the birdsite option and entered the link there. 😂

I rigged another character with my #rigify feature set. (The character is 'Rex' from iAnimate)

I'm quite happy with the way the spine turned out. It's a custom bendy bone chain with armature constraints that sits on top of the default rigify spine.

I tried many times over the years to get a something working this way.

#rigging #b3d

A Robot cartoon bulldog is visible in the Blender UI. The user starts manipulating the rig controls to show what each of them does. The torso consists of 2 roundish hard metal chunks, one for the chest and the other for the pelvis area. The mid section looks like flexible pvc piping. In fact, all of he joints have a similar flexible piping design. When the torso stretches, this piping stretches in a very appealing way. The tail looks like a hard metal antenna but the user shows how it can bend and stretch further than any animator would ever want it to. The short stubby legs are connected to the torso and pelvis with a coupling which looking like rubber. This can slide around anywhere on the surface of the to assist the animator's to create a nice pose. The user grabs the head and stretches it forward, the neck extends in a similar way to the midriff. He little digital robot eyes are essentially just 2 circles that sit above a black panel. The user shows some sliders that change the shape to show them blink and squint. The large jaw with under bite opens wide and the teeth and lips can deform to create a seemingly endless amount of mouth shapes. The teeth and also super flexible, which is helpful when trying to make appealing mouth shapes. There's plenty more controls shown in this video, however, it's getting a bit late so the person writing this has to go to sleep. Have a pleasant day.

Hi all! I've been here about a month. So it's probably time I made an #introduction

I'm an animator and rigger based in Australia.

Mostly, I help people learn animation and #rigging at CGCookie. I also have been working with Fuzz #animation for a long time and work on the occasional freelance TVC.

I'm also a husband and a Dad of a 3 y/o which keeps me very tired...I mean busy.
Ah who am I kidding. It keeps me very tired and constantly interrupted but I try not to be a grumpy dad.

(no sound) A short animation reel featuring, a cartoon sun yawning, talking pistachio nut telling a joke into a microphone, ice skating snowman falling on his butt, an orange character looking directly into the camera saying something cool, a chubby character struggling to run, butterfly landing on a flower, female warrior slicing a punching bag in half with a large upward spin chop, cute cartoon characters walking up to a donkey that is sad and tied to a tree - the rabbit bounds up to the tree to try and break the branch without success however he doesn't give up, a frankinstein looking monster jumps out of a box and scares another monster - he laughs and tries to jump back into the box but gets stuck, snowman huffing because he fell on his butt, yellow monster popping up from the bottom of the frame - he pauses a moment and then lunges forward to swallow the camera - fades into moonstring animation logo.
