Had a blast animating these shots!

In my experience, the eyes often carry more weight in facial animation than the mouth or cheeks. I try to give the eyes a little more attention so they feel right.

Animation Challenge! Dragon Rig: Tom Rig: Artem Dubyna

Vi Animation Test in Blender.

Some old embarrassing references I took myself :)

Video reference is crucial for all animators, even professionals. There’s always something interesting to discover in the reference, and iterating on it is also quick.

A study shot my student Sanaz reimagined from Claynosaurz. She’s only been doing CGI for three months, but her 2D background really shows in her animation.

During the first three sessions of my Advanced Body Mechanics class, I animated live in front of the students to teach them how to animate more efficiently, while also emphasizing the artistic aspects of animation and the analysis of video references.

We used tons of reference on Spice Frontier. Animators helped each other out—Don’t hesitate to ask a friend to act out your shot, sometimes they’re the perfect stand-in. Big thanks to Scott Wiser for the fantastic references! I didn’t use any references for this second shot.

This animation was completed by a friend, and I had the privilege of offering mentorship throughout her work. Animation: Soheyla Mokhtari

An animation I did back in 2020 as a demo for a group of students to teach them about breakdowns. It's always fun looking at these old playblasts.

Fun animation I worked on in my spare time. Watch in full-screen.

🚀 Animo v9.0.0 is out! It's free for all animators. ✨ NEW - Mirror Pose &amp; Animation - Camera Space Arc Tracker - Graph Editor Toolbar - More Animation Sliders - Pickify (Selection Sets) now supports both Vertical &amp; Horizontal Modes - Nudge Keys Left &amp; Right

When I started learning animation I thought of keys as the important poses everything is built around. Over time I started seeing it differently. Every moment can be a key moment. “Keys” are useful for learning references. But when you're actually animating every frame matters.

🚀 Spacify – A Free Powerful Space Switching Tool for Animators I used to struggle with complex animations until I discovered the power of Space Switching. It's included in Animo, which is completely free. If you'd like to try it, you can grab it from my Gumroad page.

Mirror your pose. Mirror your entire animation. Powerful and smart, coming soon for Maya animators. Huge thanks to Sanaz for the gorgeous Spiderman poses! Minerva Rig: Ramon Arango Spiderman Rig: SAHIL BANIK

✨New Animation Sliders coming to Animo soon!✨ Animo is a free animation plugin for Animators. You can download it here:

Animating takes time, but it's rewarding.

Animation test with Velia rig.

A highlight of some of my favorite moments I worked on in the past couple of years.

Powerful. Free. Coming soon for Maya animators.

🚀 Animo is a free animation toolset I've been building and using in production for years. It includes tools for Space Switching, Fast Arc Tracking, Fast Baking, Animation Layer Tools, and more to help speed up animation workflows.

30 min animation warm-up!

Some beginners feel that using video reference is ‘cheating’ but it really isn’t. It’s simply a helpful tool for discovering interesting choices and nuances we might not come up with on our own.

Here's a a little WIP acting study I put together over the past two days. Hopefully I'll find some time to polish it up.

Saw this performance back in 2020 and had to try a quick animation test. A few months ago, I revisited it using Ramon rigs, which was such a refreshing experience. I’ve always loved close-up shots :)

Sometimes, cheating is part of the magic in animation.

⚡️FREE TOOL⚡️ I decided to release a tool I developed last year for free called PICKIFY. PICKIFY is a free powerful selection set tool for animators, unlike any other. It lets you assign a hotkey to select sets instantly and easily hide or show parts of a geometry.

Vectorify is a free, powerful tool for animators that makes repathing animations easy. It works seamlessly with biped and quadruped cycles but isn’t limited to them. You can repath any animation in just a few clicks. Download Link:

Had a ton of fun animating this shot! Huge thanks to Josiah Massingill for his valuable feedbacks, and to Assiala Jousse for the amazing video reference—she’s incredible!

“Aimer” — a remake of my 2020 animation. A French Romeo &amp; Juliet I’ve always wanted to try. Rigs by: Ramon Arango

This is an animation study challenge that Sanaz and I worked on together to push ourselves and learn something new. This study is based on Thought of You by the amazing Ryan Woodward. This guy is an absolute legend! Study from: ryan woodward
