    The beauty of Low poly...

    This animation is a LOOPABLE animation, with NO USE OF RIGS, all built from nothing. I made this animation while working with the amazing team at Toucan Creative, I was thrown into a program I had no experience with and after a long 10 weeks (60 Hours total of work time) I made this!

    I hope you guys enjoy,
    peace love ya's xx



    Disclaimer: This is not related to Wynncraft or Minecraft, it's a Low Poly world I had created while I vanished for a year

    ________________________________________________________________

    HOW IT WORKS:

    I feel like explaining how it works so if any of you are interested just look in the spoiler! peace x

    This animation is loopable, that means if you were to put it on a loop it would be seamlessly connected and last forever!

    But how does it work?
    This is where it gets complicated... So if you were to make an animation as this one and loop it, it would clunk everytime it reached the end and started again, that's not what I was going for. So to make it loop-able, I had to change the animation keyframes. What's that? here;

    So with that explained, I had to set the animations to move with keyframes, and weirdly chop the timeline in half and place the end in the middle. So when you play it the keyframes connect and run like this;

    HALF WAY ---- END ---- BEGINNING --- HALF WAY --- (connects to 'half way' at the start <-- )

    So now, the keyframes reset in the middle, allowing it to connect the beginning and end of the video and seamlessly fix up in the middle of the animation!

    Since I'm also an animation student, this looks cool! Keyframes are also helpful in cases where you need to bookmark some specific important poses!

    There's an easier way to do it I believe, by setting a keyframe at the beginning and start with the same values so they will be at the same place. I would've done it this way but we ran into a few issues with the water.

    See, this kind of graphics design is incredible, to me. Very simple, sleek and minimalistic, but incredibly gorgeous and somehow still detailed. It's actually one of my favorite art styles. And you do it incredibly well.
