Who likes fighting robots!? I do! :D
After years and years of wanting to animate some robots fighting I finaly managed to find some time to sit down and make it happen! So, here it is! It's short, but I think it's pretty awesome: 😎
Modelling, texturing, rigging, animation, compositing, sound design:
By me
Animation inspired by Michael Mellor's "fighting robots":

Hand animated using Tyler Williams' choreography as reference:

Is this work based on MoCap, or was it all done manually? I know there are quite a few MoCap fighting sets out there, including some on Blender Market — and to do it manually, one must be an expert in both character animation and martial arts: pretty cool.😎
This was keyframe animated by me, but I used a couple of clips of real fight choreography as reference for it :)
They move really cool and fluid. Love at first how they are posed in their fight stance. Arcane has moved the bar so high when it comes to fighting, they are the masters at that.
Thanks! And ahh man I love Arcane! I wish I was *that* good! :D
