DEV DIARY - Anime Project (Pixiv Fanbox)

Been testing out some animation software to see if i can quickly animate a boy being eaten by a monster. Finding 3D models is the easy part, its the animating that takes the time. I found some free software called Cascadour that once i learnt all the buttons is suprisingly fast. It does some interesting tricks such as working out the physics, for example if i add keyframes of a boy jumping then landing on the floor, the software automatically makes the character crouch on landing.

The following small test animation also gives you a glimpse at the character ive put together to battle what ever hungry monster i end up using. What shoud we call him?
