This skinline was a blast to work on. Honored to work with such amazing artists! I did want to thank the team for giving me so much creative freedom and trust. Very happy and proud of the end result. Enjoy! #valorant #animation #katana #playvalorant #riot #riotgames

Animating Veto’s chain ⛓️‍💥 on his character Select with limited controllers #valorant #riotgames #animation #gamedev #animationtip #maya #autodeskmaya #veto #valorantveto

Record reference, plan things out, but, most importantly do things with love so that they come out as best as they can #valorant #riotgames #animation #gamedev #animationtip #maya #autodeskmaya #unreal

Pay attention to your spacing while you animate to ensure that things feel like the have a lot of energy Here is an example with #veto on #valorant #riotgames #animation #gamedev #valorantveto #gamedev

Dolmir’s Revenge. I did the Marquee. Meaning that I did the weapon that is most representative of the skin, we prove it out and then for this case @kaileyani did the rest of the guns and @jevremocni did the finisher! Both kicked butt! #valorant #riotgames #animation #gamedev

Remember to add texture to your animations to make them feel alive. And try to make a motif. Motifs are important for cohesion. #valorant #riotgames #animation #gamedev #animationtip #veto #valorantveto #maya #autodeskmaya #unreal

Animating the abilities on Veto was awesome The interceptor was the first ability I did for him. Its the one I resonated the most and had the most ideas for. Here is a little behind the scenes process #valorant #riotgames #animation #gamedev #veto #valorantveto

#Veto #animation This was my pitch video for the team. This is step 0 From there we have a discussion to see if we want to go in this direction or not and how to plus it. This was one of my favorite days in the office.laughing at my monitor all day. #valorant #riotgames #gamedev

Talking about action and reaction. A core principle of #animation with the Radiant Entertainment System #valorant #riotgames #gamedev #maya #animationtip #autodeskmaya #unreal

Radiant Entertainment System was my second skinline that I worked on on #VALORANT On the Ghost inspect I animated a sequence of button presses. Can you guess where its from? #riotgames #animation #gamedev #autodeskmaya #unreal

Very fist #VALORANT skinline I worked on all by myself! Still proud of it #animation #gamedev #autodeskmaya #riotgames #vct #champions
