Animation Projects

Poisson Steve is a creation by Vigz with Music by Tomo. Their Video has blown up on Instagram with a very catchy song and super cute Illustration as well as Animation. Inspiring a huge crowd of creators online to put their own spin on the Steve the Fish in orange with arms as well as legs. And a song so catchy it won’t leave your brain.

Remaking Poisson Steve

Quick Exercises in frame by frame animation. Drawing these little doodles over and over again has a meditative quality to it. Each seperate animation took between 30 to 70 minutes to create.

Vacation Gifs

These animations where once againdone with the creative animation Tool looom by IORAMA. This time capturing single frames out of the looom screencasts, and converting them to highly efficient GIFs and transparent GIFs for the giphy plattform.

Road to 100 Million Giphy Views

Inspired by the Chracter Design Conference “Pictoplasma”, I tried to work out a little Audio/Character thing that generates a lot of variants of similar styled characters. This was once again a mix of creative outlet and learning new mechanics inside Blenders geomerty nodes.

Character Noise

Nodevember is a yearly community challenge, where the participants all work on the same prompts at once. The focus of this challenge revolves around procedural generation, which often is is done in a node based interface, hence the name “Nodevember”. For more info about the community check out the nodevember.io website. For a closer look at procedural generation techniques you can check out the article in my knowledge base.

This is a series of so called tweets from the microblogging plattform twitter which I am archiving here to make sure they do not get lost in the enshittification of social media. These tweets appear in chronological order.

Learning Geometry Nodes

A collection of things I did in 2021. These are in particular order and just capture some of the “other” things, at least the once I some how documented. I was deep into illustration drawing animations to either use as gif or as sprites for small interactive experiments with godot engine. There is also some documentation from the eurorack build.

Small Things 2021

I did break both my arms during a skateboard accident in march 2021. During the healing process afterwards I had to attend quite a lot of physio and was not able to do anything at a desk, like most of my hobbies which are at a desk. Luckily I could use Mirjams iPad and draw/animate, without straining the right arm too much.

Animated Exercising

From time to time I take small pieces from my Sketchbook and bring them to life. Sometimes as full 3D renderings, other times as animated version of like here. This rat scribble was a lot of fun, the animation is focusing to be very economic, so it’s just little to no redrawn frames, and a lot of wiggle effects.

Sketchbook Rat

A small game celebrating old and not so old skateboarding games. In this quick retro game you can control your skateboard along four different levels, each with it’s own look and play style. Tricks can be done by jumping on rails or pressing the arrow keys in the air. When you mastered these try to combine you tricks in to a combo by pressing the down button after your trick to manual. You can play right from the Browser on Mac, PC and Android.

Picoskate

This was done with the creative animation Tool Looom by IORAMA. The Animations are screen captured from an iPad and then slightly edited and underlaid with a basic sound design and musical elements. The Piano is also live recorded back to the playback of the animations via the ipad. Proving to me that super professional audio and creative equipment is not necessary to finish something worth making.

Looom

This is a series of daily illustrations for the community event 36daysoftype. Each illustration is designed as an eurorack module.

36 Days of Type

A collection of hand drawn stickers made to be placed on instagram stories via the giphy plattform. The motives are drawn freely on a single page and then composed as animation. This resultes in heavy wobbling and natural distortions.

Stickers

This is the brainchild of some friendly people at the Blender Conference 2019 and was then hosted by Jonas Dichelle and Luca Rood on nodevember.io. Every illustration is based around a single shader, built inside the Blender Nodesystem.
