Business Cards


Riot Games Test animation

Hello, Its been a while and I've got an excuse. 

          A few weeks back I got an email from a recruiter from Riot Games asking me to do two animation tests. One was a walk cycle, and the other was a 3-5 second attack where my character had to jump in the air and perform a landing attack. They gave me 2 weeks to finish it but only 20 hours to actually animate. Also, because it is game animation I had to animate from all sides and also at 30 frames per second. 2 things I have never done before.

       Things I learned is that animating from all sides(not just the primary camera)is well worth it.   I will never take any short cuts again. and 30 frames per second is no big deal either because I spend a lot of my time in the graph editor.

 Here is a link to the walk cycle.

I hope you enjoy the test.  On to other matters, like packing for the AM graduation!!
