About

A personal project to create a team of animated tiny superheroes. Currently, the roster only has a tiny iron man, but batman is in the works and more will come soon...

Process

Sketches & Walk Cycle

Very simple and rough character style sheets were made to get the rough proportions of each character. Since this was a personal project, most of the details were created spontaneously during the modelling phase. A very simple 5-keyframe walk cycle was made to create the final render.

Procedural Nodes

Batman will be a more complex character with a full character rig and physics simulations for the cape. Using nodes to set up some of the animation were key to making this as efficient as possible, and below is an example of the node setup created for Batman's eyes.
