Ugly Dynamics
Nikita Diakur. Independent artist
Анимация в Ugly — это комбинация кукловодства и компьютерного моделирования, она варьируется от физически точной до абсолютно неправильной. Подобная анимация близка к созданию фильмов из реальной жизни: как и актер, компьютер следует за действиями, заданными аниматором, а результат оказывается естественным или непредсказуемым или даже глубоко личным.
А еще Никита обещал рассказать за НФТ…
The talk focusses on the crude and interactive approach to animation.
Animation in Ugly is a combination of puppeteering and computer simulation and varies between physically accurate and broken.
Animating like this feels close to real-life filmmaking: Like an actor, the computer follows the action set by the animator and produces results that are organic, unpredictable and personal.
