![]() ![]() Then I try to see if I have an interesting idea around that new tool. The system takes all this information and animates the creatures on theīefore starting each creature, I try to see what kind of functionality I want to add to the system and what new ideas I want to explore with procedural animation. Then I use a series of tools such as the one I described to make sure the rest of the body reacts in interesting ways when I manipulate the points. I select a series “Manipulation Points” then tell the system what sort of point they are, whether it’s a leg, tentacle, cannon, or a snake thing that attaches to the side of your neck. When animating the creatures, the system piggybacks off this idea. This applies to other things like how the tentacle bends or how the torso of the dragon twists. Then I use a series of tools to dictate how much each joint moves during the flaps, whether they stay tight or loose. For example, with the dragon’s wing, there is only one manipulation point, and that is at the point where the wing connects to the torso. You don’t want so many that it overcomplicates things, but still enough to get your idea across.Īfter that, I built a series of tools to dictate how the points manipulate the portions of the creature they control. The key is to find a balance in the number of points. The first step is to design your creature then give yourself the points to manipulate, something like a limb. My process for setting up these animations is set up around the system I created in the first week of my project. That being said, you can recreate these in any engine. Unity is just the engine I always use, but I do like how quick it is to get an idea off the ground and start fiddling. So that’s my advice, just keep adding legs. The first one had 2 legs, then 3, then 4 and I had to adjust the system to account for all these different types of movement. This allows me to stretch the boundaries of the procedural animation system and add new functionality. ![]() I also try to have a wide range of creature styles. All the creatures use the exact same primitive shapes, and this forces me to create interesting shape and movement since I can’t That’s another reason why I don’t focus as much on the visuals for the creatures. But I always try to be inventive with how I use movement and shape with my creatures. I think I’m one or two more videos away from Disney lawyers knocking at my door. I definitely take inspiration from film and animation to come up with creature concepts. After that, I pushed myself to improve the system and design unique characters. I spent the first week of the challenge, creating the animation system and the biped mech. ![]() ![]() So instead I decided to create a procedural animation system to help bring the creatures I design to live. I’m very impatient when it comes to animating characters in the traditional way, and the results are usually not that great. My biggest problem is that I am an absolutely TERRIBLE animator. The project I chose was to design a boss battle every week. The premise was to set yourself a goal with milestones you hit every week.
