Kevin Roger

I wanted to share some of the work i made on Sifu (only 3 years late). This is Jinfeng, the boss of the 3rd hideout. I did the rig and the majority of her animation. Even if there are still a lot of issues, it was fun to do and I'm pleased with how it turned out in game.

QRT with your wing art !

[INTERVIEW | Kévin Roger] 📝 Aujourd'hui, @OniLink28 vous propose l'interview de @Moustweet. Pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas, il est le directeur de l'animation 3D pour @SifuGame, le dernier né du studio @sloclap. 🔥 Le Lien : 👇👇👇 pointnthink.fr/fr/interview-k…

@TuxedoPato @jo_annechovy I feel the same way. It makes me self-conscious and doesn't help with mentoring. My methods seem unconventional and rely a lot on instinct. Your tweet provides me with much reassurance.

@jo_annechovy I can’t visualise anything, which I thought was normal until I asked my siblings about it haha I can still recognise what things should look like, but it can take me a while to figure out poses because I have to adjust it until it looks correct instead of having a target in mind

I saw a discussion of aphantasia in artists and this got me wondering if there are any animators who have some degree of aphantasia as well. Visual library is so important, I can't imagine how to animate without being able to visualise mentally 🤔 Y'all have any insight on this?

Found the Twitter, thank you @truongcgartist and @AnimationMentor for the rigs.

Forgot to credit Truong CG for the dragon rig and animation mentor for Dozer.

Experimenting creatures for the last couple months. Animation is hard, keep pushing ! Discovered that I'm so lazy for polish. 😱

@gurinedeju J'essaye :)

@Moustweet Tu fais des bestioles maintenant toi ?!

I took some time to polish a little more this shot. I took the opportunity to do a breakdown before leaving it alone. #animationishardkeeppushing

@Cr00kedCreation @Finchwing Totally agree, its kinda a choice drive by lazyness, shame on me. I will do some experiments on tails exclusively later. Here i wanted to try basic bodymechanics.

@Moustweet @Finchwing Looks lovely! A lot of weight in all the animation! In my opinion, I feel as though the tail (or some parts of it) appears to ragdoll sometimes, leaving it feeling like jelly! Usually, for dragons and other animals, their tail is for balance and would never go completely limp!

Practice with #b3d

I'd like to try bluesky if anyone has an extra key, that would be really great. Thanks <3

@_moyparra Very well deserved, congratulations. Have fun and continue to make us dream.

I've been promoted to 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 on the Apex team 🥹❤️

@rveenewman @studioproxima Congratulation Harvey!! Can't wait to see more!! Send you lot of love and good luck to all the team!

Wow! @SifuGame is nominated in Animation category for the first time at @BAFTAGames! 👊👊 Best of luck to all the nominees, serious business this year. So proud of the @sloclap animation team !! Congrats you all 🙏❤️. And as @PoodleTime would say, everyone wins with animation .

@arainydancer Go ahead, you will nail it incredibly well and learn a lot I'm sure of it.

@Moustweet @StevenJHarmon1 @kaupira incredible... i recently had the idea inspired to build a simple locomotion/melee system in unreal by full keyframe animations in my spare time, hearing this gets me thinking a little bit more hahaha

I love how the settles from the really fast punches are shown in these animations. The sense of energy and speed all coming to a sudden halt is incredible

@StevenJHarmon1 @arainydancer @kaupira Not really, only finishers were mocap and heavily reworked. Otherwise the all animations are full key framed.

@arainydancer @kaupira It's lifelike because it's retargeted motion capture recorded with professional martial artists and stunt performers. youtu.be/T1mF_nJDsJQ That being said, it still requires a lot of manual cleanup, keyframing, blend tree tuning, and IK scripting. Phenomenal work.

@rveenewman Thank you very much, it was a real pleasure. That's something coming from you. Thank you for your impact on our beautiful community.

I had a blast talking with @Moustweet yesterday. An incredibly humble yet knowledgeable Animation Director. You can now watch the whole chat here: youtube.com/live/iFQ1Mg_Mf…
