Completed Rocket Plume Effect

Lunatics Project (Channel)   |   5 views   |   2022-05-31

Completed rocket-plume effect, from three different angles, with the sound effect. [NOTE (2022): Getting a decent non-photorealistic, but compelling, rocket plume special animation effect to match our 3D-anime-ish style was a challenge I spent ...

Toon Rocket Plume 2020

Lunatics Project (Channel)   |   3 views   |   2022-05-31

Revised rocket plume effect, test animation (no audio). After a lot of experimentation, I settled on this very simple effect as the most appropriate. It's mostly just a moving texture with a four-color ramp. [NOTE (2022): this is NOT the final ...

This is topical summary of my worklog screencasts for the entire process of creating the Sky Rig for the "timelapse" sequences in the "Lunatics!" pilot. This includes a lot of missteps, but doesn't include research or tutorial training time, altho...

Insert cartoon for Southwest Reprise Theatre's production of "The Very Merry Xmas Carol Holiday Adventure Show", showing the horrors of the dreaded "Xmas", which is the evident villain of the story -- or so it seems, at least. It's a silly cart...

Influences and Aesthetics of Shading Style in "Lunatics!"

Lunatics Project (Channel)   |   0 views   |   2022-05-30

This was a video I prepared, originally as part of the 2-Minute Tutorial series. But I never posted it, because: 1) it was not technically a tutorial, 2) it uses a lot of copyrighted source art I wasn't sure about publishing (even tho...

The director animates! It's no secret that I'm not the top character animator around here, but I am learning! I decided to do this one, because I was interested in the rigging to follow the signature effect (which is using the "dynamic paint re...

Animated Writing Test

Lunatics Project (Channel)   |   1 views   |   2022-05-30

After much more experimentation, I've manage a very slight improvement in the writing animation, and also of course added a simple rigged pen to follow the motion (though this is probably not the pen I'll use in the production shot). I didn't want...

Animation Test - Signature with Dynamic Paint Reveal

Lunatics Project (Channel)   |   1 views   |   2022-05-30

Test using Blender's dynamic paint to reveal an already prepared signature graphic (no sound). The timing is fairly close to what I want, though it might need some tweaking. The biggest problem is that the brush is revealing some parts before the...

This is a test of a flickering-monitor effect on the Mission Control Room set. Created for the "Lunatics!" animated pilot ( http://lunatics.tv ). It's really just a 2-second test, repeated 20 times, so you have some time to look at it. I'm not ...

Keneisha Perry has redesigned the facial rigs for Lunatics, replacing the original shape-key-based rigs with a simpler skeletal rig. This is faster to apply and may be simpler to animate. They still work with Papagayo, as this demo shows. She's al...

Lunatics Project (Channel)   |   0 views   |   2022-05-30

This is a test of some concepts for animating Rob Lerner for our title sequence. I'm not 100% happy with any of these, but there's some interesting effects. The "wiggle" effect is created by using two separate animated Freestyle settings and sw...
