Thump was the first character made for Election Year Knockout, and we made him with as few pieces and bones as possible. It turns out our game engine can handle a hell of a lot more, so we decided to re-draw and re-animate him entirely. Here's his special attack, the Stormy Smash. Old on the right, new on the left.
That’s so cool. Animation is such a great medium.
In some ways it's good to know I can make something work with and without severe constraints. I discovered in the new animation that I actually save a ton of memory using more, but smaller, pieces. They can be reused more often in different poses if I plan everything exactly right.
What program are you using for it?

Shut it down
They know
I might need an extra dedication this year to get below 78,951 so the Gov doesnt sodomise me
And that doesn't include social security
Not 6,000,000 birds no care
wind turbines & solar panels also killed birds guess we have to get rid of those too
I don't think it's regular solar panels, but those crazy solar towers that glow white from all the reflector panels on the ground
@Weepy We animate in Spine by Esoteric Software. Art is made in Photoshop, and we use Cocos2dx as our game engine.
If you're interested in the art pipeline, I can post some stuff on the process.
@C1PHER that is correct. It was concentrated solar. What happened is that the algorithm that controlled the mirrors happened to create a pattern during plant downtime where there were areas in the sky that were super heated enough to fry birds in mid-air. They had to change the algorithm so that it wouldn’t happen during plant downtime. I don’t think it was happening during normal operation though
We almost good old days lads
