These animations hold a sweet amount of weight to them- real awesome to look at ^^ Great job~

Shit son, this is amazing!
As someone who only dabbled in 3D before, I was meaning to ask: do you animate the tail by hand or did you set physics for it? It's like super fucking beautiful and has great weight.

I should probably post the anim with controllers and joints turned on so you can see, but yes it's all key frame anim, no sims. You know how important your pencil is in 2D anim, if you don't know how to wield it you can only be so technical with your anim and it's the same with rigging in 3D, the more rigging you know the easier it is to control what you can do. Rigging can be the difference between really hard and really easy anim work flow.Β

Thanks for doing that again! It's really interesting to see how it's made - even if I can't do it myself
Sadly, we never got to rigging in 3D class. The only animation I ever did was done with transformers (or whatever the fuck they're called, it was a buncha years ago), no bones or actual rigging. :\

I'd definitely recommend you try and get back into 3D, it gives you this whole new perspective when you draw or animate traditionally, the same way they can spill over and open up your mind to other workflows in 3D. But it's not for everyone since it gets so technical at times and you're just thinking "god damn it I just want it to go over there wtf is going on". I swear the penicl is still the most advanced rig in the world since it can take your brain and smash it on a piece of paper, 3D is like government immigration paper work.Β

HOO BOY IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK speaks in volumes to me
Yeah I do feel like I should get back to 3D, even if just "for fun". I know I'd enjoy 3D but there are still so many things I need to learn.... like Toon Boom *cries*
Our 3D classes were bullshit in college. It was just mostly our teacher talking to our two 3D-hobbyist classmates about advanced stuff no one else understood in the room (I mean we did but it's not like I can use it in practice) or we were listening to sexist bullshit about how "women can see colors better but they suck at imagining 3D structures". idk man, I'm pretty terrible at telling colors apart...
So in the end everything I learned, I did from one of those classmates in one single night before finals. Both of them work at Digic Pictures now btw, they just posted on facebook about how they finally finished the new Witcher trailer. It's really mind-blowing

Hahaha I had a 3D teacher who was sort like that, none of that sexist BS though but he definitely would sometimes drop in without a plan and try and wing it where he would monologue and then the expected results wouldn't happen with his demonstration and he'd spend the rest of the lesson figuring out what went wrong, I remember he even used to patronize certain students about their lack of understanding.
I reall need to get back into traditional animation myself, just finding the time can be frustrating. I haven't seen the cinematic trailer for the new witcher game but the last one I saw was pretty awesome, so it's probably even better than that

This is really cool, fron view must be really intimidating

WB!
looks so awsome i hope he will have some animation of turning around not like in most games just TrackTo_player
Walking like that would damage wings or maybe they will have ahrder surface there, maybe "sticky" like gekon feets?
its awesome, keep it up

Hey zero! Thanks buddy, monster movements are very different to player movements in game, the player has more instant turning and movement while monsters turn more realistically which is naturally slower, so you can do interesting things like out maneuver them and so on. Still only in principle some will be slower, some will be faster.Β
I'm not sure what material this guy is made out of, whether it will be stone or metal is undecided since there's no rendered art yet.Β
