The animations of the large chak in the first 30 seconds of this video are probably my absolute favourite in the game. In-game I found myself observing these creatures and all the intricate little details in their movement for far longer than any player was probably meant to :D
Absolutely gorgeous work, thank you for bringing so much of this game's world to life!

[@jawesome548]

[@BrianKouhi]

Great Reel Scott! I wondering how you animated the Giant snake at 1:20 , did you use any sort of potion path technique? or was it all keyframed? -Thanks!

[@ScottDickeyAnimation]

Thanks Brian. The giant snake was key-framed with spline IK style controls, no motion path.

[@sivapandianreffreference]

@@ScottDickeyAnimation hi great work congratulation. for me spline ik worst behaving, pls help me if you have any Technics pls

[@DannyBoy443]

Did you make the models as well? Or just animate them?

[@ScottDickeyAnimation]

I did the animation and some of the rigging. The models, textures and FX were created by other artists at ArenaNet.

[@DannyBoy443]

Was most of this (or all maybe?) done with the graph editor?

[@ScottDickeyAnimation]

The graph editor is definitely an important tool in 3D animation! I usually pose and set key-frames in the viewport and then work more in the graph editor when polishing an animation.

[@DannyBoy443]

Cool cool. So where would say most of your animation work is done then? The setting frames or the graph editor?

[@TomCollie]

Jesus. I want to quit

Never compare yourself to others. Nobody succeeds without any struggle.
