Here's a logo intro for a client (2009). Mastodon’s Web UI doesn't show the pause at the end. 🙂

A little experiment, animating the arm in a photo of movie maestro David Lynch by hand-painting a Z-depth map for 3D displacement in Blender (2019).

These days this is probably a piece of cake using "AI", but I like to create, not to command.

Procedural animation test of 3 characters for an interactive TV series I worked on in 2000 and 2001.

The characters reflected digital subjects. They were named Bug, Emil (📧) and MP3. 🙂

Kids could influence the story development via internet, which was novel at the time. The production won an EMMA award in Cannes, and was covered in Time magazine.

Another procedural animation test of a character from the Tattletoons TV series (2000-2001). See previous post in this thread for more info.

The movement of the legs was driven by the position of the body. I was experimenting a lot with animation automation at the time.

A short animation cycle, made for a Dutch CD-ROM game called Snail Race (1998).

I used a 3ds Max plug-in called Clay Studio Pro to model the snails. It was one of the earliest SDF tools, back then still called Metaballs.

No fillets can also be nice, for a more abstract graphic design style.

@metin I don't know how you display the animated trucks. I assume it's just a mask? It would look better if the trucks would come in/leave the area booled/sliced. Do you know what I mean? Because the building is overlapping the ground and the trucks aren't.
Show threadMetin Seven 🎨Nov 8

@CWernerArt Yeah, I used two masks. Everything is 2D. 🙂

One mask overlaps the trucks that drive through the building, and the blue surroundings form the second mask.

I personally like the surreal style of the blue mask cutting off the trucks in a 2D way. 🙂
