Those single frames of super stretch in the melee attacks really add a lot, no wonder they all feel so satisfying.

@Voidward 7 лет назад

I think Junkrat might have my favorite first person animations. All the stuff bobbing on his gun, the way he smacks his gun when he reloads. So much character.

@JasonUmbergerLordofnothing 7 лет назад

Stan V I fell in love with the game once I tried Junkrat. the launcher is probably the best thing in the game.

@1.21gigamatts9 7 лет назад

It really shows his unhinged personality! Like how he dosen't even care that he's holding a DETONATOR, he'll just punch with it. And how he simply smacks his gun with GRENADES like it's no big deal.

@jesusjjp57 7 лет назад

Stan V lol I got the game because of all the animations. I thought the animations were all so well thought out. i went out a month after overwatches launch to get myself an xbox just to give overwatch a shot. Needless to say i love overwatch.

ikr, same

@winkil1 5 лет назад

You can see how much passionate he is when showing his animations, his nervousness just goes away for a moment and it's beautiful!

@dszk1990 6 лет назад

Can't believe 30 minutes is all they could give to him. God damnit.

@lewislepton 7 лет назад

i love your talks GDC - i really do. its a lovely insight into many things in game dev. but christ, how long have you been doing this to still have very bad audio setups? please work on this a little bit further. please.

@TLRAlt1 7 лет назад

Very entertaining guy. Shame he didn't get more time to speak, though.

@Sharkhead123456 6 лет назад

Thats really a golden rule for us 3D animators: if you can cheat, why not? No one will see some broken fingers or squashed/streched arms

@Noperare 7 лет назад

Things you learn in animation: Only what the view can see on screen matters, screw everything else.

@Elderi0n 7 лет назад

... unless you animate games, and new screen technology emerges, like ultra-wide screens which redefine standard FOVs, and now you see tons of clippings and weird stretches.

@Bax365 5 лет назад

@@Elderi0n Games like the last of us for example, used a ton of animation shortcuts but could only be seen with mods

@ljhoser5842 3 года назад

@@Elderi0n you should use a separate camera for the gun that doesn't change when you adjust fov

The guy seems so nervous, but I hope he knows that he gave a great talk that seriously helped me with completing my essay specifically about the first person animation in Overwatch. This guy saved my ass, this is an amazing resource.

@BorNeoProg 5 лет назад

I love how this game expresses character and personality of each hero through first person animation. The calm of zen or the ticks of junkrat. This game and Doom 2016 just nailed it.

@8bit_pineapple 7 лет назад

Reavers reload animation made me laugh the first time I played Overwatch, it's so silly I love it :P

@hrothgarnogar 6 лет назад

Reaver?

@raventhorX 6 лет назад

who is reaver? that a new character? (sarcasm)

@Namster05 7 лет назад

Kinda sad he wasn't able to finish in time, looks really interesting

@fredericomartins3dartist255 7 лет назад

Amazing to see how this pros work, but god, having all animations on the timeline makes me cry :(

@GeneralHaha1 7 лет назад

That prototype reload animation for Soldier looks neat, I wish I could see it in game. Not like a permanent reload animation but they can make it like rare animation just like rare voicelines or sth

@aiellamori 6 лет назад

This is so hard to watch, he's so nervous. Then again, I can't blame him. I'd be up in shock up there.

@tayu1416 7 лет назад

I think Orisa also gets her legs shown on first person when she jumps?

@SuzakuX 7 лет назад

俞達 I think her front legs are in her ult, too, because she rears back before slamming her drum down. Orisa also has really impressive third person animations. Her four legs move so naturally.

@tayu1416 7 лет назад

yeah, they have done a great job on it

@ELFanatic 6 лет назад

I think this talk was before Orisa, but you are right.

@fl0killa 4 года назад

I loved the way he showed all the work and is so inspiring

@Caoderrick 6 лет назад

Animation talks need more TIME!!!

@AntonQvarfordt Год назад

10:25 It's not that ridiculous - being future as this is, you'd imagine they'd make guns to be as easily reloadable as possible... Making them so that you can just "slap it in" makes a lot of sense to me if the technology is there to make it work.

@Jamie-rh1sv 6 лет назад

this is an awesome presentation, but i'd just like to share Extra Credit's video on Overwatch's 1st person animation, and they also talk in depth about this.

The first person animations really DO set Overwatch apart from most other hero shooters. Even to this day. ❤
