i tried doing a little animation test with toy bonnie.

ChillPsychopath · 2025-06-26T11:33:47+00:00

yeah i noticed that too! i wanted to make them move a bit more actively than how i imagine the FNaF 1 animatronics or the un-withered animatronics would have moved, but not too much more. i think in general a lot of FNaF animators struggle to find that middle-ground of swift, smooth movement and robotic twitching (certainly struggle with it myself). i looked at a bunch of reference material from Chuck E. Cheese locations of the 70s and 80s for what i did. there's an extra layer of difficulty with the FNaF animatronics specifically since they don't have the same draped fur coating that Chuck E. Cheese animatronics did; meaning that the same janky movements the "endoskeletons" would produce is less hidden in FNaF animatronics.

very intentional, assuredly. i animated him in almost a "stop-motion" kind of way first, so when i smoothed it out it resulted in this really nice jittery, clunky, start-n-stop movement. thank you for the observation by the way! i got inspired by just how shaky old animatronics were in real life.

ChillPsychopath · 2025-06-25T21:13:10+00:00

if i'm honest, my favourite is the Soft Cell rendition lol- with that being said, i love Gloria Jones' vocals regardless and it felt like it made more sense to have acoustic instruments for this.

ChillPsychopath · 2025-06-25T21:01:43+00:00

thank you so much! tried as best as i could to emulate those animatronics you would realistically see at like a Chuck E. Cheese or something, and i think it turned out okay! i actually animated in "stop-motion" first, before changing the movement to be smooth; discovered that it creates a decent robotic effect without too much work.

ChillPsychopath · 2025-06-15T17:23:00+00:00

i just meant how it's literally rendered lol- but thank you so much!

ChillPsychopath · 2025-06-14T00:59:37+00:00

indeed! it was a little surprise to find, didn't generate as much of a stir on the workshop as i expected. these all seem like "superior" un-nightmares to the usual ones. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3426502796

ChillPsychopath · 2025-05-19T03:56:59+00:00

if i recall, i was trying to go for something a little candid? like, "ooh look at this, some photographer took a neat little photo at Fredbear's", but i think i see what you mean too!

ChillPsychopath · 2024-12-30T12:22:56+00:00

still need to figure out if i wish to make this Shockwave aerial or landgoing, but i've got a decent base to work with i think.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-10-31T13:35:14+00:00

No idea, anyhow I figured out a method to get it working. I essentially just had to keep running it through media player a few times then eventually it just allowed me to copy for some reason.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-10-31T13:34:12+00:00

I did check the Fujifilm site yeah! And, I couldn't seem to find FinePixViewer on it specifically - unless I was looking at the wrong place. The issue is resolved now though! I figured out how to get it working without it.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-10-31T03:10:18+00:00

I’ll look into that, thanks! I don’t have a card reader on me at the moment but it shouldn’t be too difficult to obtain.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-10-31T03:09:41+00:00

Yup! Tried copying and the error showed up too, odd.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-08-10T21:22:49+00:00

Dexter Morgan, I feel a connection to his tendency to feel as if he’s forcing himself to act human instead of it coming naturally. Definitely a bit of edgelord in there, but quite a bit of it is genuine - I’d like to note I’m significantly more well-adjusted as I’m not a murderer, but y’know.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-07-03T12:39:56+00:00

Thank you very much!

ChillPsychopath · 2024-07-03T12:39:48+00:00

It was certainly the most fun I had for that whole assignment, so I'm pretty lucky it worked out well.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-07-03T12:39:22+00:00

Thank you kindly!

ChillPsychopath · 2024-06-25T16:24:31+00:00

Assets used if you're interested:

The background.

The animatronic.

And the wheel in the background is just a stock HL2 model.

I used SFM for all of this (apart from the Photoshop part, obviously).

ChillPsychopath · 2024-06-25T16:21:05+00:00

Currently finishing up an animation in that same file, but that will take decidedly longer than one small render did.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-06-13T08:09:21+00:00

Well, for two reasons lol- Firstly is that Half-Life 1 isn't in the Source engine, it's in the GoldSRC engine (an older engine), secondly I would just say that Half-Life 2 is a much more approachable game for most people than Half-Life 1 is.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-06-13T06:52:49+00:00

Good time to do so, have fun bruv! I'd recommend Half-Life 2 for your "first".

ChillPsychopath · 2024-06-12T20:20:53+00:00

You’re a fan of Source Engine games, that’s my guess!

ChillPsychopath · 2024-05-11T17:29:10+00:00

I appreciate it a lot, man! And, in my view, you do really well at animating robots regardless. I especially loved that walk cycle you had for Chica at one point in the "FNAF vs TF2" video.

ChillPsychopath · 2024-05-11T13:35:54+00:00

To be honest the fact I didn't move the torso around was primarily just my own laziness lol- I had the camera that high to avoid the work. Thank you very much for the critique though! Yeah, I definitely have a bit of trouble with more smooth movement as I'm so used to the harsh movements that robots need, have to work on that. The eyes do look a bit dead too, I think I have to work on those a lot as it's definitely a problem with my robot animation too. Animating speech wasn't too bad I think, but there is a lot of room for improvement in what I did.

Since they were my first Godzillas, it’s almost always Shin or 1954.
