Progression Reel for the stages Elementalist Lux's mixed forms' recalls went through. Hit me up if you have any thoughts are questions on the process!
Lux was a crazy project! Animation is expensive and timelines didn't allow for custom animations on every asset so we had to come up with creative ways to make each form feel similar enough for gameplay but unique to the point where each form felt different from the other.
Here are the mixed form recalls were interesting b/c they were all branch offs of the base ones. Creative juices were hard to find since there were 10 final variations I needed to find. Here you can see where I use an introductory animation that is shared and then branches out into a form-specific ending. I used proxy meshes to illustrate the overall feel I was striving for. These were helpful bench marks for VFX.
My favorite form here is Magma and Mystic, but my favorite animation is Mystic and Storm! The color spread and variation here is really nice!
This series is separate from the Animation Time-Lapse process videos I make, so don't worry if you're looking for those! They just take a lot more time for me to make! :P Please look forward to it! Thanks!
