So I challenged myself to Animate TF2 Characters every day for a month...

... and here's what I made!
song:    • Anomi - White Room (Full Song)  
(also by me!)

The results of my 42-day long, self-imposed animation challenge!

Each day I had a strict 40 minute time limit, plus a strict 80 minute time limit per-shot.

The purpose of this exercise was to challenge myself as an animator, and practice the essentials in terms of demonstrating action and storytelling under strict time limits

Let me know how I did!

I will be starting soon on another animation challenge regarding walk cycles; so let me know if you'd like to see that! Feel free to drop some feedback below or in my discord server, Anomalous Materials!

    these interloper demos are getting weirder by the second

    I LOVE the idea of a Valve character beat-em-up where the valve itself is the Smash Ball of sorts. It's a super cool idea, especially the cutscene where the valve is on the character's head!
  • @Anomidae
    and this concludes my "what the hell have I been working on the past few months" trilogy. More to come, don't worry. Thanks for watching everyone!
  • @serixskylark
    That medic kick animation was so insane to me lmao. Just very fluid even without the extra frames
  • @Nicotri3
    I love intentionally low framerate animation
  • @hifomi
    amazing job anomi ❤ you're such a hard worker, and it really shows here love the music and sound effects <3
  • @TheBreadPirate
    You did such a good job at telling a story in a short time. Each clip was compelling!
  • @TacticalDumbass
    Anomidae, i hope you know you are my favorite SFM animator of all time, keep it up, whether it be SKY//BOX, random uploads, or not even SFM as a whole. Love it. Edit: I've noticed that there's just no blood in these animations, the only ones getting dismembered are the robots. Small details, I like it.
  • @JustaBLUToon
    You would not imagine the smile on my face when I saw Guard Dog. Glad to see that he hasn't been forgotten <3
  • @SpacerZVEVO
    If TF2 ever has end of round animations like Overwatch, they'd better hire you to do them
  • @cloud682
    I seen some of those animations on Twitter earlier. Still can't process how can you do that in 80 minutes, but you sit in SFM since forever so that's just skill. Really cool btw.

    oh damn, guess i remembered about interloper at the perfect time lol. finished watching 5 and subscribed + turned notifs on (i thought they were already on lol), watched 6 and saw that this was posted in notifications
  • @stellarbastard98
    Woah. Should have guessed from Interloper, but you're a really good animator Anomi! I'll never understand how people have the patience to do the virtual frame by frame puppetry that is 3D animation...
  • @Lily-ed8fl
    The choppy look is SO nostalgic and charming! I adore it. Also, the brawlhalla style was very cute.
  • @Katy133
    Amazing work! I love the solid posing, especially with details like Medic's coat tails swishing as he spin kicks.
  • @cloxurf9603
    Congrats to Anomi for using tf2 sfm for that much without wanting to delete himself.
