Скачать или смотреть I Tried to Animate Today… Ended Up Rebuilding My Entire Pipeline Instead

Today was supposed to be a clean animation session. Instead, I rebuilt a spider rig, re-rendered my shinobi set, fixed my demo reel, restarted my Maya workflow, tested everything in Unreal, dipped into 3ds Max, and somehow still ended the day with progress.

• Full shinobi pack render + liger rerender for visual consistency
• Why I started learning 3ds Max (industry-standard pipelines + anime character workflows)
• Rebuilding the cursed spider rig from scratch after another Maya crash
• The moment everything broke — and what it taught me about checking rigs first
• Demo reel edit finished + entering feedback phase
• Unreal cycle testing (surprisingly successful)
• Reading + next learning phase: Illusion of Life

Game animation workflow · rig rebuilding · Maya crashes · Unreal testing · locomotion cycles · 3ds Max exploration · demo reel polish · animation consistency · spider locomotion · animation pipelines.
If you’re improving your reel or tightening your animation process, this episode shows exactly why checking rigs, testing early, and learning multiple tools matters.

This was a “rebuild the whole pipeline” day — rig, reel, workflow, and software stack. Painful, chaotic, but necessary for leveling up.
