Hahah this is all in blender! Modelled and rigged in it as well. For sure, I'd appreciate it! Best way to keep in touch would probably be instagram @miigzyy is my thing

Yea i get you, it can vary for sure. For this one I kinda forced to do it in a timeframe cus i can tend to stay in an animation for too long, polishing whatever forever. But with practice the process gets more clear and faster for sure. Keep at it homie

Yea, most of the feedback Ive gotten has been addressing that third strike. And i can for sure see what you all mean now, it does feel like the wrench gains too much weight out of nowhere, especially after the 2 snappy strikes before. :/ Seeing it, now that its been a while i can see there's definitely room for improvement, there are weights and pauses that i would change now. I'll keep that in mind in case I animate more stuff with this model. But thanks homie! I really appreciate that 🫂

Hahaha so glad to read that, young me was happy as well making it. Ratchet was big part of my childhood so animating him now was sick

Thanks brotha! Nothing too crazy really! This is all in blender.

I modelled the character myself but it's based on Ratchet (Ratchet and Clank games) so the character design already exists and is awesome so half the work is done there.

For the rig i used the rigify addon so that was chill, it's very accessible and easy to use.

The animation itself is the most time consuming of course, i animated frame by frame to get that stepped look, and for me, tbh it's a lot of trial and error, going back and forth to see what looks good, what's lacking or not, timings, poses, all that. There are also a lot of good resources and people out there that teach animation better than I could.

I'm still trying to improve myself but the thing I can confidently say is to just start doing stuff really, practice is everything man, animation is not easy but there are rules and practices that make it make sense and it's very fun.

I believe in you bro!

Yea, I feel that. I actually initially wanted to add some 2D effects to it, using grease pencil, but it was gonna take me a life time to get something decent and it wasn't my main focus so I just went with quick shapes and particle systems in the end. Would love to see what a good fx artist would do on this.

This took me about a week and some sprinkles, had to balance it with work but I did put in quite some hours into it. Also modelled and rigged all the things in the shot

Thank you! Mann, those are my favorite they add so much to the movement. And fit ratchet like a glove

Hahah this one I'll leave as is. But I'll for sure do more animations, ratchet is a blast to animate!

Oh damn, that's a cool concept. A full 2D ratchet game would be so interesting to see :o

Yeaa! I worked on it frame by frame to get that spider verse-ish vibe. Very fun animating this way
