Portal: The tests begin early animation test

[willingsas 1.9k]

Hello, lads! I come back from the dead, with an animation

As you can see, it's just a really early animation test, involving portals. I'm gonna create a portal series. You can see there's no background, and the map looks pretty basic in comparison with my early photos.

I'been trying to improve my animation and i think the animation is pretty good. Yes, the portal gun is supposed to move like that; in portal the portal gun kind of flies around when you move your mouse, so it's a little joke ;).

This is not the final version, however. I'm new to animating and video editing. There should be portal sounds.

 

Anyways, thanks for reading and enjoy this rough test. If you like it, i may create more!

movement seems a bit... jumpy.

but looks interesting!

Yes, about the movement, i tried to replicate portal gun movements wich look very jumpy   But i agree, i should improve a little more the animation.

other then the (I assume you used transitions) transitions, it looks really good.

sorry for the double post. i'm using a crappy hotel internet, so I'm lagging.

What I can see is that the camera has an ease in and out transition for every single keyframe. The bad thing about this is that at the start and end of every keyframe it goes to a complete stop before starting to move again.

Otherwise, it looks good, but I may also suggest turning up the camera's FOV to something closer to 80.

There's FOV? Because i hate that it looks like that. Also, thanks for the suggestion! I'll try and make the animation somewhat smoother. (Though i think it looks really decent like this, considering Portal 1 & 2 does move like that.)

Really good but he turns...faster than light...

I understand when he shoots a portal and waits a little but when he turns my head spins

But I like it.
