Description
Quick warning: This thing is 40 MB large, so I recommend letting it play once first so it loads entirely and plays at the correct speed.
Here's a link to my IG post where I could actually upload an .mp4.
For some reason, dA doesn't let me upload the much smaller .mp4 (despite it being mentioned in their video upload guide), so the file is actually much larger than it should be (even at half res and half FPS). If you have any knowledge about how I could make it work better, it would be much appreciated.

Second point of view here!

Anyway though, here it is, my very first 3D animation! I really tried to make it look as smooth and polished as I could (at least for my first attempt). Metaflame's movement is meant to be mostly organic and smooth normally, but it gets more robotic and precise when he's moving slowly (as you can see at the end where he retracts his left hind leg).

Second POV of this animation coming in a few minutes, I just gotta rerender it in a reasonably-sized .gif form.

Definitely feel free to let me know how you liked it and where/how I could improve in the future. Thanks!

Usual reminder: without permission, please don't reuse my art or renders or other content for anything other than maybe a personal wallpaper (or personal tracing practice), I don't wanna have to start watermarking my posts or such. If you do decide to publically share my content, please do so while keeping the original signature (if there is one) and with proper credit, preferably a link to my dA and/or IG (you can find my IG on my profile). Thanks!
