Animation Students React to: Sprite Fright | Blender Open Movie

We're going to take a small break from League content :D We'll announce the next Video on our Twitter so follow us there :D twitter.com/AniValleyReacts

Hi!!! Glad you liked the short. Love the reactions! We will post some making of soon that maybe will answer some of your questions!

Rigging department checking in: 1:50 - In this case the mesh swap for the mushroom cap was built into the rig, so technically every sprite could do it. There's the regular cap, used for all of the movie, and a version of the cap that's split in two, used for this shot only. The disgusting effects is the magic of Simon Thommes, but hand-made, not simulated. 8:27 - Almost no shape keys were used in the movie, certainly not on the faces! It's just bones, some bendy, some not. 10:30 - Rigging the snail was actually super easy! The whole snail is in a simple 3-control lattice that can be used to squash and stretch the whole thing super easily. 11:00 - Spot on. 11:48 - It's just the one snail, it just goes from a crazy broken pose to a regular one, no model swapping here. 13:25 - Spot on. 14:04 - Not my department, but Simon and the animators did the splattering by turning grease pencil strokes into 3D meshes. Details are sorcery to me. This was a fun watch! :D Functioning rigs to you all.

I respect the decision to take a quick break from League but I’ve gotta say that Arcane has been a delight to watch. Some scenes are absolutely nuts.

12:15 I hear you! Blender 3.1 will have an add-on "Copy Global Transform". It'll allow you to copy the world-space transform of the active object/bone, and paste it onto any object/bone. This could be the same one at a different point in time, or you can copy the FK control bone's global transform to the IK control bone. Or to some object. If you want to have it locked to that particular world transform for a number of frames, you can paste to selected keyframes ("smart bake") or even let it create new frames (on 1s, 2s, etc.). The add-on will do all the counter-animation required to keep the paste-target at the same global transform. A basic version of this add-on (which could just copy-paste, but not over multiple frames) was used during Sprite Fright, and in the past few days I extended it to do the multi-frame pasting as well.

The magic of blender.

6:42 I like this part cause they just walk away beat up and act like they didn’t just murder 4 people…

This is so interesting thanks for this video !

nice reactions! love it!

I'm betting the snails were stretched with lattices.

Animation students - oh to have that much money.

Hey....can you make animation tutorials! You guys are awesome 😁

I think his was meant to be from the 80's.

they used geometry nodes for the environment and I think they used keymesh for the melting effect

this was awesome

My only notice is when Ellie cut her hair and i saw it look like peni from Spiderman across the spider verse but look at the face and body shape her size is almost the same as peni.but i watched this in April 9 it was cool tho.even it was 2y.ago

The Smurfs are absolutely insane

Loved it, can you guys react on the Spring blender open movie short?

Oh wow, I just found your channel bcs of Arcane, but I now definitely will pay anything for an actual career on animation now that I got fired lol, gonna invest it to make amazing art, you all know so much! Amazing channel 💙 You can also react to any Overwatch cinematics, if you want, they're sooooo cool!

wow....... blender is papular now ☺️
