Lovely lovebirbs, a little short for Gunner's instagram. I got to experiment with doing stop motion in VR. I sculpted about 14 poses of the third bird, but also used traditional manipulation/animation as well.

A fun short we made for Gunner’s instagram for Valentine’s day, 2020. For this piece, I got to try out something I had only played out in my head before this. Stop motion in VR! It’s sortof a hybrid of stop motion and traditional 3D animation. The intrusive bird’s postures were so extreme as it flew in and out, that I figured, why not sculpt a whole new frame for it, instead of trying to deform one mesh? Check out the image below to see the setup.
