3D Stick Ani

[mitch]

Howdy.

First wrestling animation I've done in years. Instead of using Pivot, I thought I'd try and make a stick animation in a 3D Program, this way I can just simply model a small arena and easily do camera cuts.

So yeah, this is a super-duper German suplex with a crazy bump. It is obviously rushed but couldn't be bothered nitpicking the small things.



Quality is bad as it is hard to get the file under 5MB

This is great. Is it just like in pivot : you have figures and you move their jonts, but in 3d? That's great, mind saying what program it is? But to the animation, i liked it, maybe the only thing needs work is that transition from first camera movement to second, it didn't feel kinda right imo, but i like the move itself, joint movements were great, reaction was great too, nothing was floaty, and i really like the camera movements throughout the animation. Great job!

Essentially, yes. But it becomes more complicated than that. However if you set up well enough from the get-go, then that makes animating much easier.

I used Autodesk Maya for this.

That looked pretty cool, even with it being rushed.

Very nice 3D ani you have there mitch, I haven't see an ani like this in years, it's somewhat a lost art of sorts lol. Regardless good job on this one, the camera pan at the start seemed kind of unnecessary as you couldn't see which perspective the blue stick was going to. The jump wasn't bad but it seem to lack a bit more frames and the blue looked a tad stiff in those movements. The suplex itself was nice, it was pretty smooth and the speed seemed just about righ and I like the impact.
