I Made a Vex Game Animation

I posted this 24 hours ago under IQ general discussion on accident, oops. Anyway, this was my first ever blender project so don’t hate on it too much :). I have learned a lot and if enough people share, I will re-render so it looks nice and make more game animations. Tell me what you think, any feedback helps!!

Looks amazing! I know exactly how hard blender rendering can be.

Nice work. From 2009 - 2018 RECF actually had a VEX game design animation online challenge. Sadly Dan decided to cut it based on low participation numbers (his words and the educational video challenge was also cut for same reason). If you’re interested in robotics animation spend a moment looking at the past entries starting with.

Over 10 years the tools available for animation have definitely evolved along with readily available computing resource. The 7682E animation was essentially physics engine based with robots moving via sequenced control inputs.

Thanks for the mention wdr_mentor, I wouldn’t have seen this otherwise.

I would encourage you look at the animation section of my portfolio if you’re interested in where that work took me.

For me, working in CGI didn’t work out. I was lucky enough to discover this before I dove into it much, only one semester in art school before I saw the light:

There are countless others.

Play with CG for funzies, along with many other things. Find a career elsewhere.

Good work, pretty on par with most of the Design a Game Animation entries I’ve seen (I used to make it a point to review each one in detail). Sad to hear that program is gone (news to me).

I had made all my old YouTube videos private some years ago, but I will unlist this one just for you: VEX Starstruck Field Render HOWTO - YouTube

I will be making videos again soon, so maybe sub if that video is at all interesting, albit I intend to do something radically different so idk.

Best of luck. Feel free to call me on Discord or IRL, phone number is in the resume - text first plz.
