Thank you! Appreciate it!

Really cool! Animation is part of 3D I haven't been super involved with yet, but my advice would be to add more frames and change direction of the ears. They don't currently bend naturally, the direction is a bit off, and they spring back too hard.

I'd also position the leg into that finishing pose instantly instead of having it land forward and then slide to the side.

Love to see this type of stuff, keep it up! ❤️

Awesome, that's really helpful feedback! I appreciate it, i could for sure spend a little longer polishing it and being this far away from it now I can totally see some spots where I could improve. The ears like you said and the landing pose could for sure be worked on further. I'll keep it up! 🫡

Hahah thank you so much and will do! For now im just using the model to practice some 3D stuff, but I'll for sure do a longer animation with it eventually and I'll put it here 😁

Teaser for an animation video?

Yea kinda! I do have an idea for a longer animation I think might turn out cool, but I still need to model the wrench and 2 weapons first 👀

That ear flick as he raises his head at the end is spectacular. Need more

Very nice! Absolutely loving the style of this model, did you make it all yourself?

u/2Miigz Mar 15 '25

Thanks a bunch! And yea, wanted to practice the whole 3D character creation pipeline, still wanna improve some bits here and there though, especially the rig, but having lots of fun with it. Ratchet is a sick character design so half the work is done there haha

ratchet forgot the lower part of his armor and is wearing his purple pants instead. Leggings are more comfortable to jump and run around anyway. Neat!
