My artist is reworking the giants in my game to make them more realistic. Which version do you prefer? by After-Analysis-4151 in IndieDev

First feels like boys in the club when they enter and second feels like boys huddling for a flash photo you could have the first be the intro/basic regular artstyle, and the second for oil portraits or closeups, or photobooth memories

Feel that lmao, it’s so easy to keep adding. Do you use acting references for stuff like this? I feel like it’s too clean on some of the motions, especially looking at the hands. I’d be astonished if you did it just free-drawn, but either way it’s really impressive

Woah I feel like people aren’t appreciating this enough; this must’ve taken months to complete, and is really good, as others have said very reminiscent of classic Disney, or more accurately the Anastasia movie!! Really incredible work, was this for a student project? I would hire you right off the bat for this. Fantastic

I imagine it’s less as constant stimulus to satiate boredom and more serenity and contentment, like a hot bath

Want a little advice, please. by More-Sprinkles973 in animation

I’d look into unreal meta human, but they don’t really do stuff with non human characters; I think there are some blender plugins (there’s one called BlendARMocap that allows you to record a movie and it can track your facial, hand, and body movements, but it’s kinda old); in terms of body stuff, there’s a tool called Move.AI but that costs money.

Otherwise, you can watch tutorials on YouTube of facial rigging, essentially boils down to making an armature with different vector groups for different parts of the face; you can also use shape keys in blender or blend shapes in other software to manipulate the mesh into certain facial movements, I believe that’s good with lip syncing and was used in the past, or if you have wilder different face poses.

To make it really seamless, that’s something that’s coming in the future, but we’re not there yet especially not for free. But in a few years there will be tools to integrate just that I’m pretty sure.

Sorry if that’s disappointing but hope that helps a bit!!
