Biggest compliment I can give to Ace Combat 8's writing is that Cope's monologues consistently reminded me of B. J. Blazkowicz's from the Machine Games era Wolfestein. Blasco's were still ahead by a noticeable amount but Cope's got far closer then I ever would have predicted.

BlueSky is filled with old people who probably read the SW EU and fucking hate GenAI, so I figured y'all might appreciate this. DarthAngelus created a full 3 and half hour long animated "Heir to the Empire" adaption with ZERO genAi. The antithesis of the AI Slop Wars deluge on YT, check it out:

Sorry for the late response, and I share some concerns, but the recent discourse has also unfortunately also shown me that a lot of people just don’t consider India, whis culture and mythology played a huge role in Avatar, to actually be Asian. And the Indian influence on SH is overt

Jorge, an animator was harassed for MONTHS by an OpenAI stan taking his wips and jamming them into SORA to "Fix" them. Because he dared to note GenAI companies have ruined the market for everything PC related. That's the type of people they are, its THAT black and white, #animation

Also this is still super funny, good luck Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz or whoever else they might try to pair up with Jessica, to be her most popular love interest your going to have to get past a scraggly blond guy from an entirely different IP

Auliʻi Cravalho will be wonderful, and for anyone interested in getting a taste of Jessica Cruz before her show debuts. Reminder her best onscreen depiction at this time is unironically in the first Justice League x #Rwby movie. Jeannie Tirado crushed it.

Late addition, but I also wanted to highlight @djaxx.bsky.social's "The Worlds Divide" an entire 2 hour movie he created single handily without any GenAI. I have seen it and can't wait till the general public can to, its something REALLY special and I can't wait for more to see it #animation

#ANIMATION fans, if you have nostalgia for PS1 graphics, and love Gothic Dark Fantasy, this may be of interest, CRAWLERS looks extremely cool. Created by: Evan Muir & Joseph Anthony Orendain

Once again, if your someone who misses the days of Red Vs Blue: Reconstruction, or the better Halo novels, you need to get on CRASH immediately, its really something special. #animation Also, animating Targets armored hands on a guitar so smoothly? Out of this world skill from Echo-482

With the embarrassing "Critterz" GenAi slop back in the news, reminder that SORA was supposed to "democratize" animation, but they pulled it from public use making that already farcical claim impossible. Now its only legacy is this shit and being used to harass real artists making real #animation

One of my favorite things ever is seeing Artists and Animators directly showing how far they have improved over time. #Animation is obviously first and foremost a visual thing, so seeing the growth through side by side comparisons is always so cool. And this is a great story, FUCK Sora

With NUMarathon out it's interesting that newer Bungie fans and others might learn that the closest anyone has come to OG #Marathon depiction of AI isn't actually Halo, Destiny or anything else made by Bungie. No, its closest counterpart is actually Red vs Blue Durandal and Church would be friends

Exactly 10 years ago today #rwby volume 3 ended. And everything changed forever. Tell me, even after all this time, do you still believe in destiny?

animspotlight3d.bsky.social @animspotlight3d.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
#rwby fans, with Volume 10 still a ways off you suffering rwby withdrawal? Well the fantastic Mark Zhang, creator of the SLVR fan animations dropped another banger and it helps fill the hole. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qdb...

Glad to see all the love for Paul Dano in the wake of Tarantino being a stupid fuck. If this has led you to crave more Dano, his role as the Caspian, one of the two MC's in Pantheon, one of the greatest animated shows ever and his performance is superb and wildly underappreciated. Hope on it.

Fans of Indie #animation if you want to support a really cool project, Cassandra Complex still needs some support. It looks amazing and any fans of Robert Valley can see how much his style influenced it. They still need some help to reach there goal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

With Tron back in the spotlight, Legacy for love and #tronares for, uhhhhhhhh well not that. I am here to remind everyone that the best thing to ever come out of Tron as a property is the Tron Uprising Cartoon. And a big reason is it has a gleefully horny Villain x Hero thing going on. Hope on peak

He isnt on Bsky, but I really do believe the Zelda/ #Zelink community oh @artstoff/Stoff a huge debt of gratitude, his models have been used to make so many cute and or badass fan animations, its a crazy level of impact. #animation Animator: @slatersev.bsky.social Video: youtu.be/nxxY7blIc9U

I mean, your specifically arguing with what the story flat out said. Like the Unsundered being stronger Or Emet raising multiple shards to the same seat after some were killed by previous WOL's. The entire reason the Unsundered are a big deal is there the only ones who can raise anyone else up

Late, but alongside @dontyoudarryn.bsky.social another former #rwby animator is working on Invincible Vs, and her work on the show was easily among the best it ever had character acting wise. Congrats @crabapplepie.bsky.social Show: Rwby Animator: Adele Kraus

animspotlight3d.bsky.social @animspotlight3d.bsky.social · 10/06/2025
Congrats to @dontyoudarryn.bsky.social for getting to announce there work on Invincible VS, one of at least two former rwby animators now working on the game at Skybound.

Watching the #DevilMayCry netflix show. Adi Shankar seems to have based Lady's dialogue off of a particular Red vs Blue Character. Quite an, uhhhh bold decision.

Action always receives the focus physical intimacy in animation is one of the hardest things to pull off. CRASH by @b00mrang.bsky.social and its spin-off 's doing it with fully armored people is a treat. Video: EZ After Dark 2 Animation by: @slatersev.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=mupi...

Now I can repost this on Bsky. Massively looking forward to "Revenant by @luigiyagami.bsky.social. Nova is such a fantastic character design, and the aesthetic Yagamimi has created for her story is so cool. Can't wait to support it when it comes out, and spotlight all her sick animation work on it

To celebrate videos finally being allowed to be longer then 1 min. Enjoy this animated sequence from the machinima series CRASH, created by @b00mrang.bsky.social with animation by I believe Echo-482. It was already a great show, but this moment fully cemented its identity. Show: Crash Episode 7

10 years ago Monty Oum passed away, and I punched a whole threw a wall in grief. Since then so much has changed,but his work on #rwby, RVB, Dead Fantasy and Haloid continues to inspire new animators and other artists of all stripes. Rest In Peace, Legend. We will Keep Moving Forward

In addition to dropping the trailer for Astartes II, Syama Pedersen also released a new video showing off both Astartes and his other new personal projects he is working on, and they all look amazing. His work is maybe the most impressive to ever come out of what started as pure indie #animation

In honor of Ninja Gaiden's revival, take a moment to look back on Monty Oum's beloved Dead Fantasy. While episode 6 technically never officially released, he loved NG dearly and had big plans for Momiji and Ryu. #ninjagaiden #animation

Again, apologies for not being able to post nearly as much here with the hard cap. But the tour de force of action animation in #castlevaniaNocturne s2 episode 7-8 is something special. The most impressive multi episode fight marathon since the Heist in #redvsblue. Go watch both.

Apologies for the lack of posts, the 50mb is murder on trying to show off animators stuff. I have update the 3d starter pack with some more talented animators like @kimchilada.bsky.social and others. So feel free to use that. go.bsky.app/HPVus7X And enjoy another of her coolest shots: #rwby

animspotlight3d.bsky.social @animspotlight3d.bsky.social · 23/12/2024
A modern Halo machinima of any kind is already rare. And even in that niche Crash is something special. I truly think its the successor to Red vs Blue. Specifically Reconstruction and Chorus Animators: @chrisofthedead.bsky.social and Echo_482 Show: Crash Where There's Smoke | CRASH Episode 7

This still might be my favorite Yang fight sequence in all of #rwby, it just flows so well. Especially the section of her maneuvering in the air. #animation Show: Rwby, Yang Character Short Animator Kim Newman @kimchilada.bsky.social

Going over what I can post here that's under the limit. Ramen Look's stuff on Samurai Blue and Ironmouses MV are both so good. Just full of life. Can't wait to see what they do next #animation Animator: @ramenlook.bsky.social

David James Armsby doesn't have a TW or BS, so he might be less known on social media despite his success, but his indie animated Dark Fantasy dinosaur stuff is amazing and more people should see it, in many ways Sauria is Primal's 3d sibling. #animation Show: "Blood for Blood" | SAURIA

So many former #rwby animators and others making there way over is nice. They deserve to be able to post and talk about there work in a place that isnt a botted hellscap. @joevickanimation.bsky.social pokemon DBX fight is well known these days, but he killed in on rwby as well Animator: Joe Vick

animspotlight3d.bsky.social @animspotlight3d.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
Happy to see awesome animators like @dontyoudarryn.bsky.social make there way over here. Going from #rwby super fan to getting to personally animate some of V9 and the movies most emotional moments is one of the cooler #animation paths in a long time

One unfortunate double edged sword some people run into when they gain a following off fan content of an existing thing is that they find it hard to get people to care when they branch out to original stuff. I hope @arainydancer.bsky.social's fans support her, her next #animation looks amazing

New website gives me a new excuse to promote @luigiyagami.bsky.social's Revenant animated Prequel to her planned game. Can't wait for it to come out, Nova has one of my favorite designs in years. #animation

Gonna repost alot of reels and scenes from twitter here, especially for animators who have moved over so they can maybe get some love and rebuild a little. @crabapplepie.bsky.social character animation on #rwby is still wildly underappreciated Animator Adele Kraus

Arcane is still something really special, can't wait for the other two acts and for all the amazing animators who worked on it to get to post about what they worked on. #arcane Show: Arcane "The Monster You Created" Key Animator: Emir Paynter

Hello, I am a 3d animator who likes to help spread the amazing 3d #animation work my peers have created in hopes of getting them more recognition. With Musk fucker using twitter for AI training soon it wouldn't be right to continue to post there. If this interests you at all feel free to follow!
