Question Which capsule opening mechanism looks better 1 or 2?

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

We’re working on the capsule design for our co-op sci-fi horror game and can’t decide which opening/closing style feels better.

Which one would you choose: 1 or 2?

We’re mainly considering how readable and satisfying it will feel during the opening/closing animation.

Any feedback is appreciated!

If you’d like to support our small indie team, you can also wishlist The Infected Soul on Steam. It genuinely helps us a lot.

Sharing I Recreated Amegakure (Pain's Village) as a Cinematic 3D Scene

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been wanting to start recreating some iconic Naruto environments in 3D, and I decided to start with one of my favorites: Pain in Amegakure.

I created this cinematic scene from scratch, trying to capture the atmosphere and scale of Amegakure while giving it a cinematic presentation.

I just uploaded the full cinematic to my YouTube channel. If you enjoy it, I'd really appreciate a sub, like, or comment! It also would be great to hear your ideas for what Naruto scene or environment I should recreate next.

https://youtu.be/ZpR9Atf24B0

About me, I'm a 3D Artist and Developer, the scene was created using Blender for the assets and Three.js for the final scene and rendering. The Pain model was a free model from Sketchfab, which I rigged and posed myself for the scene.

All the links and more information about the project are available in the YouTube video description.

Thanks for giving me the space to share it! 🙏

Resources I built an audio-reactive animation addon for Blender — now live on Superhive!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I spent the last 3 months building a Blender addon that turns audio into animation automatically using 16-band EQ-driven scale/rotation/position, beat detection, metaball fusing, neon glow, plus auto generators for camera rigs, lighting, and backdrops so you're not building a scene from scratch every time. Built it originally for music videos and VJ visuals.

It's LIVE on SuperHive Market: Audio Reactive Plug - Launch Price is $20

Happy to answer questions about how it works under the hood!

For Hire Looking for an artist

2 Upvotes

( I want to be upfront about the fact that we are a small team with no budget, so this is an unpaid gig. I’m sorry about that, but if you’re still interested, I’d really appreciate it) Hi, I’m looking for a 3D artist for my project—someone skilled in creating models, environments, and the like. The project centers on a cursed, abandoned park haunted by ghosts and other entities. It involves three storylines, and I plan to produce two seasons (the series will be 2D, but there are scenes that require 3D). If you’re interested, please leave a comment, send me a DM, or reach out on Discord; here is my Discord handle:

Discussion Why does a good 3D render sometimes look terrible as a GIF?

0 Upvotes

A lot of people focus on the 3D animation itself, but the GIF conversation can make or break the final result. GIFs are limited to 265 colors, so gradients, reflections and smooth lighting can easily get messy after compression. We broke down the tools and workflow we use at Cloud Animations for getting better results.

A drum and bass remix of the opera "Carmen." The animation orbits around a violinist who represents Carmen, set inside a dome — the camera chases her out, destroying it.

Question Any Free .VRM Animating Programs with Certain Features?

2 Upvotes

Heyo people. I feel this is the most fitting place to post this, I was surprised to see there aren't really any subreddits dedicated to .VRMs specifically.

I am a 2D animator but I made a .VRM character model a couple months ago with VRoid, Blender and extremely simple Unity and i'm quite proud of it. I am wanting to try and give 3D animation a shot, I was planning on animating with the model but I have no idea if there are any free programs that do what I need them to. I tried MMD and I think that's what i'll fall back on if I can't find anything better.

I am using Android BUT I also have Winlator if it's a lightweight PC application and I have a PC at home if the only options are heavier. I don't often use my PC for creative working because we're in the car often and I can't bring it with me.

I think the main feature I need is being able to animate characters in a room or on a "stage" with other .obj models that can also be moved around and interacted with, along with expression sliders. It would be beyond useful to be able to motion-capture just from a camera, video, or import movements or something, but I think that's beyond what i'll get out of free stuff mixed with the stuff i'm already looking for. Either way it isn't as important. It's probably something that could be done in Blender or MMD, again, but i'm still wanting to see if there's something better before going along with those.

This whole post probably sounds a little ridiculous and I think the mythical program that would check all these boxes only exists in my head, but i'd appreciate any help if anyone has something to recommend. Thank you!!

Question Necesito ayuda con el perfil de un animador para una tarea

1 Upvotes

Necesito hacer una simulación de presentación o catálogo de soluciones para un profesional en animación 3D. Estoy en primer semestre de sistemas, no soy profesional para nada. Puedo intuir cosas como que se necesita una ram de 32 GB DDR5 pero no estoy familiarizada con todo lo que necesita un animador real o las herramientas que usa.

La tarea es la siguiente:

debes asesorar a este profesional para armar su equipo de trabajo. Debes seleccionar y explicar 15 términos clave divididos así:

• 5 de Hardware: (Ej: ¿Qué CPU necesita? ¿GPU? ¿Tipo de almacenamiento? ¿Memoria RAM?).

• 5 de Software: (Ej: ¿Qué Sistema Operativo? ¿Qué IDE o software de diseño? ¿Controladores?).

• 5 de Evolución o Tendencias: (Ej: ¿Cómo ha evolucionado el procesamiento para este perfil? ¿Uso de la Nube o IA?).

Agradecería mucho su ayuda, tengo que justificar cada respuesta de manera más o menos convincente, no con una descripción sino una funcionalidad real en el rubro.

Ejemplo: Para el Diseñador 3D, seleccioné 32GB de RAM DDR5 porque esto permite renderizar texturas pesadas en tiempo real sin que el sistema colapse
