To Catch A Butterfly – Animation

To Catch a Butterfly Animation

A New Animation! This time utilizing an old old model I made way back in 2016. This June I came back and revised the model, remaking the rig, fixing the topology, switching it’s colors from materials to a texture image, and giving it some teeth!

Gif of a lowpoly 3D raptor walking — The original 2016 model with a walk cycle utilizing a very basic rig, not even any kind of IK-bones set up.

3D gif of a low poly raptor sniffing the ground and looking around. — The remastered 2024 model with the new rig and other fixes.

I made this animation wanting to play around with the vertical format framing and also making longer animations again. Just in general practice more with fairly basic rigs. As well as, practice with incorporating foly and other SFX to make a cohesive project. I also love to make looping animations. And this silly Idea came of it!

I also put together a “making of” for this animation if you would like to see my process:

Programs used:

Blender 3.0
Davinci Resolve (SFX & Color)
Premiere Pro (editing making of)
Wiggle 2 Plugin (Tail physics) https://blenderartists.org/t/wiggle-2/1454788

I want to also just say huge thanks to my friends for being enthusiastically supportive of this project and all the little in progress snipets I shared with them!
