  • ichbinmatthias. 3 months ago
    wow this is so cool. The Fox character is great! It freaks me out that it is actually a 3d rig. Would you mind saying a few words about it?
  • Jens Blank 3 months ago
    hi matthias, sure I can. What do you want to know? There are a couple of wip pics if you follow the link above. But basically they're pretty standard
  • ichbinmatthias. 3 months ago
    basically I am just curious how you deform the 2D character. Or is it actually a 3d mesh? Just sent you a message. Thanks!

  •  
  • François Mathey plus 3 months ago
    This is great, there are some shadows flickering, but it's the only negative remark I can do, I like this a lot, well done.
  • Jens Blank 3 months ago
    Thanks, -the shadow flicker is actually on purpose. I wanted a very simple look to everything so I used very low rez depth map shadows.
  • François Mathey plus 3 months ago
    I understand that, but however I think I would prefer without the flickering, but it's only my opinion, and as I said this is really great :)

    Great design. I actually like the strange stiff animation, it kind of works. The 3d track slipping was very distracting to me though.
    Nice work Jens.
