🐶🐕 Assassin's Creed Odyssey : The Fate of Atlantis Episode 2 was about Cerberus for me. I was in charge of developing its personality and behavior and it was a long path, a real challenge to make it special in term of animation and at the same time tune everything according to game design needs. The first draft was somehow an inteligent three headed creature that's acts as one but when it comes to shooting fire the three heads are very selfish and each one will fight to shoot first, so they'll bite each other until one wins. This sounds fun on paper but it got cut due to gameplay implications, it wasn't clear enough for the player to understand. You know, in game animation you have to embrace the fact that what you're animation it's not for the camera, it's for the player experience and that's what makes the challenge even more difficult and entertaining. Many interactions were made, afterwards and yeah, everything turned out more gameish, less cinematic and the players were happy, so was Cerberus. 🎉 🐶🐕 No animals were harmed during production. #assassinscreed #ubisoft #ubisoftBucharest #ubisoftquebec #cerberus #mythical #mythicalcreature #gameplayanimation #game #animation #3danimation #gameanimation #gameplayanimator #animator #3danimator #characteranimation #creatureanimation #creatureanimator #gameplay #gamedesign #character #dog #dogs #cutedog #pitbull #dogsoninstagram #artoninstagram #cerberos #dlc #thefateofatlantis https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LdnHGoCc4/?igshid=1oxwixztfx9ql

Nothing too fancy here. Some fast sketches I did while developing characters animations for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I use to plan an animation with simple scribbles, ugly drawings to figure out the main poses before going into filming a reference or blocking directly into the actual software. These were for fighting performances I animated during production on different characters, like Cyclops, Minotaur or mercenaries. Usually the game designer would write down some numbers, his requirements for an attack and from there my job is to come up with an entertaining performance. Some of these drawings were made for fun just to get under the character's skin. #ubisoft #assassinscreedodyssey #characteranimation #3danimation #sketch #cyclops #minotaur #mythicalcreatures #ubisoftBucharest #posing #drawings #sketches #animation #animator #animationplanning #gameplayanimator #gameplayanimation https://www.instagram.com/p/BySZKCSo2W7/?igshid=szwggsjz8c28
