_Animation_ ソニック --- ![sonic thumbnail.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRn9AoSTDYd89KRhg6EVGsDVP5ikDDaWgPtkvWCYQZmdo/sonic%20thumbnail.png) --- --- _Hey People_ --- So, I was looking through some of my old files on my laptop, and I found this old sonic animation I created back in 2014. That was the time when I was learning blender and the ins and outs of the program. I was such a newbie at blender, and didn't know what I was doing (lol), but I found a way to animate this simple animation. It's not my best animation but I wanted to share this with you guys. --- 『P』『r』『o』『c』『e』『s』『s』 --- --- ![Desktop screenshot Animation process.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbhYKoWM7Q9biSdpqs5c1QSJxdLxMf8548i1SJw5XkGkK/Desktop%20screenshot%20Animation%20process.png) Keyframe City whoop whoop （〜^∇^)〜 --- I pretty much just set up the scene which actually took longer than I anticipated. Starting something is always the hardest when I'm working on projects, but after a while the creative juices starts to flow through my head and out to the computer. Texturing the meshes and modeling the objects took a long time also because I was learning those things as I was going through with the project. --- ![Desktop screenshot Skeleton.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVs5kq3onaWjtrbkwmwshU3HNev4qKTtYoNrn2Hz3Ptg7/Desktop%20screenshot%20Skeleton.png) _I done goofed up on this part_ ┐(´ー｀)┌ --- The next thing I was working on was the sky dome. I had to figure out how to emit light from the dome to make it appear that sonic was actually outside and not in a dark box. There were several lights I had to spread through out the scene to get it to look just right. After that, I had to also put an armature into sonic and at the time I was really bad at doing that, so that took a long time as well. ---

I believe it took about 2 hours to process the whole animation. Then I just moved the Mp4 file into After Effects to work on the intro. All I did was add in some motion graphics, put a blur effect to the shapes, and text. Then I had to render that video out too, and it was done done. --- [![sonic thumbnail.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYrrPU3VnwytqKSaXKquae9y2BHh2fNEUMKhA2ynVMF7S/sonic%20thumbnail.png)](https://d.tube/#!/v/raizel/wth8272z) _So for a 44 second animation that took 2 days to make, that's animation for ya_ （；￣д￣） --- --- Gravez - Red Lotus feat.
