When you reload a little TOO hard

I had an idea for a tasteful reimagining of Gamma's storyline, but I don't think I'll go back to this anytime soon. I also thought of making it an animated series instead, which is where this video initially came from. In the end I concluded that it would take way too much time.

Fun little experiment with the Sonic rigs. I might go back some day and add more, who knows 🤷♂️

The Flatline was my favorite Titanfall 2 weapon that I never got to animate, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I was working on a video for animation ideas I wanted to see in Metroid Prime 4, but it never really ended up going anywhere other than a few small tests of the rig.

I had a lot of free time back in 2020. Initially I set out to tinker around with Unity, but ended up making a very messy and unpolished reimagination of E-102 Gamma's gameplay from Sonic Adventure that was held together with a lot of spaghetti code and duct tape🧵

One of my biggest regrets was late at night when I didn't look up from being so laser-focused on my PC, that a group walked directly past my desk. After they walked past me again and left, I found out later that it was Hideo Kojima.

Boing! I managed to find a way to animate Sonic's spindash/jump without too much trouble. I used a similar method to SA1 and just turned down the transparency on the outer sphere model at random using a noise modifier.

This is seriously one of my favorite scenes in this game because it's straight up a person in a MOCAP SUIT ACTING LIKE SONIC

I recently bought an Oculus Quest 2 last week, and used it for viewmodel motion capture. It was a finicky process, but the end result isn't all too bad: piped.video/MQQ4DfIngRc

Happy 4th Birthday to Titanfall 2! My very first game that I've ever worked on and it was a blast🥳🎉
Oh, by the way...you all knew about this, right?🤔

Here's a small tutorial that could have been a few tweets on how to make some quick sword trails in Blender! #b3d
Totally not ripoff of @Mrdodobird 👀

WIP of a thingy. Still a long way to go, plus I might trim up the latter half since I'm not sure how people still feel about the whole THE BABY THE BABY THE B- thing with Samus, so...yeah

Finished this one a few months ago and gave to my cousin as a surprise. I'd say it's my best one yet 😀

This was the first actual completable level that I worked on, just with some very basic elements.

The real-time heat distortion was a pain to figure out but I think it came out pretty neat.

An animation I've been messing around with on my free time which may or may not lead to something bigger👀
Thanks to @artstoff and @daitomodachi6 for the rig!

My favorite and later additions was the Adventure Field transitions. The Egg Carrier level transition was the first one I worked on, and when I first implemented and included the unused audio, it sent chills down my spine. It's the little things that count.

Found an old MP7 animation from 2013 but with a different (and more accurate) reload. Everything is so floaty!

One strange and intriguing thing I came across was when I unified Station Square into one whole map. I realized it made the map feel way smaller because in the original game, the loading screens between areas somewhat implied and gave the illusion that it was a much larger city.

There were some basic systems as well like being damaged and losing rings, being able to die, and have a checkpoint system.

While I didn't implement NPCs, I thought to improvise with some monitors and just had a little bit of fun with it.

I cringe every time I see this in a playthrough. Should've disabled it, but you can look around during this. Not many people realize that first time through. So instead of looking straight, you're left with an awkward angle of looking off to the side when you put on the helmet🤦♂️

I also had some extremely basic Spinner AI that would just follow you and try to hit you, so it wasn't anything too crazy.

Here's the original mocap data for reference. I imported the capture and just retargeted some Halo arms onto it, and then went to town with polish and stuff. Had to cut out a lot of keyframes for the camera😅

Hi! 👋
I made an animation showcase!

I even hacked together a working player controller inside Blender that allowed me to move and jump around.

Before I started working in a studio I would seek out leaks like crazy and eat 'em all up. It wasn't until I started working at one where I really understood the disappointment, pain and panic of it all. It's not fun.

Yeah, about that...I animated the Titanfall 2 cinematics for console FOV in mind, and once I bumped it up I soon discovered a bunch of jank I hadn't intended the player to see😬😬😬
It's still crazy to see how scripted first person animations look and feel so different when the field of view is cranked up all the way! 😲 It's been an acquired taste as I know higher FOVs are generally preferred for a more competitive experience, just less cinematic IMO 🤔

Made an E-102 Gamma rig! I tried to dig more into rigging this time around and it was a fun experience. Still some small things to do here and there, but it'll do for now.
Anims will be made eventually 👀

Today is my last day at Respawn.
This was my first job in the industry and it's been an incredible few years. I've learned so much, met so many amazing people, and I've had a lot of fun! Saying goodbye is hard, but I hope to see you all soon 😀
Onward to the next big adventure!

A little late with this, but 2 months ago on this day I married my best friend 🤗
Happy 2 months anniversary! 😅

Finished up the animation for the video.
...However, I'm thinking of doing a version where I put an extreme amount of extra detail and effort into it. Depends🤔

On this day 5 years ago, I started my first job in the video game industry! These have been some of the most life changing years ever, and they were filled with so many trials and challenges along the way. Praise God because I couldn't have gotten through it without Him!
Had an awesome first day at @Respawn . Can't wait to go back tomorrow!

I worked on Apex. And I'm just a senior animator at IW, It's gonna take some time for me to get into any sort of lead position haha.

And even more so, here's the very first recording I did, finger tracking and all...and a really quick rig to the skeleton, which I then realized I could just retarget my already existing rig to this one.

Everytime I see this scene I get taken out of it immediately and wonder what was even going on during that mocap session.

This quarantine is taking its toll on me. I was in a Discord call and seriously could not remember the name of Steam's Big Picture and instead refereed to it as Big Steam.

Made another shadowbox! I ended up putting the Spiderverse shadowbox on the back burner for now.

Akira is one of my favorite animated movies ever! It only made sense to make one of these. Also I found that taking them out of the glass frame makes presenting much easier 😁

For the record I ain't bashing or hating on my own animation!😅 Just being a little nitpicky about a small framing issue I could've fixed is all.

Who remembers this wind sound from every movie/game ever cause this is making me nostalgic for Bionicle/Rayman 2 (I think) 🤔

Finally, after years of saving up enough money, I have decided to give my PC a much needed upgrade.
