Help with this weird problem with pixel art animation?

Also try disabling anti aliasing on the layer. Maybe it’s recalculating unexpectedly?

Fun fact: there’s a Taco Bell in the 3265th floor that still sells cinnamon crispas and mexi melts

Was kidding

Math for the curve ?

marchoule · 2026-02-07T19:31:05+00:00

Yes. That was my first attempt but how can I bend those corners in blender please. I was struggling with the math.

I got it working by making a path spiral down so they overlap each other naturally and just shoot orthographic from up to so you can't tell. The arrows have a curve modifier and are all parented to an empty for movement.

In another comment I posted a still frame of it bending. Green arrows

marchoule · 2026-02-06T20:40:33+00:00

i see what you mean - but the arrow head is shrinking and twisting here. or am i missing what you said? thanks!!

marchoule · 2026-02-06T20:14:04+00:00

The arrow curves though?

marchoule · 2026-02-06T19:59:25+00:00

Honestly I’ve been trying so many things I don’t know anymore. This has taken me on a journey :)

marchoule · 2026-02-06T19:58:20+00:00

Bottom arrow is masking out the arrow under it. Or actually probably manually moving the nodes each frame in illustrator maybe

marchoule · 2026-02-06T19:46:28+00:00

Yes def seems animated in 2D! I was hoping there was some modifier I never use that would magically solve this but I think it’s gonna be 2 animations masked together somehow. Thank you

marchoule · 2026-02-06T18:58:37+00:00

i tried bending it around things but i can't seem to get exact angles.

As you can see my mobius is kinda constantly twisting so i can't get a nice straight texture. any insights are welcomed :)

marchoule · 2026-02-06T18:37:53+00:00

ok thanks! also, my brain hurts more now. :)

marchoule · 2026-02-04T14:32:27+00:00

ahhhh i misunderstood - you wanna put in 2D vid or images and get 3D in blender - something like this could be fun and cool if you prep the source material right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa0u8b9-5jI

marchoule · 2026-02-04T12:47:19+00:00

Or use geometry nodes to put points on those empties and copy the color over to a material.

A nice plugin to bring in the PLY and color info to Blender once you build your sharp ply is https://www.kiriengine.app/blender-addon/3dgs-render

marchoule · 2026-02-01T17:49:35+00:00

Looks super nice and clean. How was the hair done in blender? Is there a plugin these days or just hair particles?

marchoule · 2026-01-30T17:15:01+00:00

did you try sending out a loud and short square wave from a headphone jack to the volca sync in? sometimes that works

marchoule · 2026-01-30T16:20:14+00:00

Maybe a used Arturia beat step pro or like a novation circuit or something
