Hyper Light Drifter Fan Animation

After seeing the Kickstarter for Hyper Light Drifter (and loving everything about it) I couldn't resist and had to animate something related to it.

This is my fan clip:


There's also a Vimeo link and the Quicktime file.

The main inspiration was this picture:


And I wanted to incorporate this set, which also has the spiders, and the little puff clouds when he runs, all seen here:


The flash speed run is also really neat, which I tried to replicate as closely as possible:


This is technically only the first half of what I wanted to do, but now I'm not sure if I will continue. As always, finding the time is tricky and I kinda like how it ends now. I started with the continuation, which you can see at the end of the last shot:


Regarding the music, the Kickstarter says that Disasterpeace will be doing the music for it so I was trying to find a track of his that would fit tempo wise. The track I chose is "Prologue" from "Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar".

Other than, the Drifter is a modified Norman, the spiders are modified Spiderbots.

Animation was all done in Maya, using one day for modding and planing and one day for animation.

I think that's about it!

Regarding the cape: it's a separate piece of geometry that I skinned to a few joints and the movement is keyframed:


The skirt is another separate piece of geometry that I wrapped deformed around the thighs.

As for a playblast, it's what you see in the above animated gif. The lamberts are set with incandescence all the way up.

DOGONAUTS - Enemy Line

Is that a John Williams score in the video? The clip is used to raise money, shouldn't they use music they own? I could be wrong about both...

C-Wars

That whole Kickstarter page for C-Wars is giving me a nerd boner!







There's a lot of cool material on the kickstarter page, lots of animated gifs and making-ofs:
