Demo

In this image, 2 seperate animations are combined into one: The background animation, and the innkeeper in the front.

tip

You can interact with the innkeeper by clicking on her.

Overview of animated elements​

Scenery animations​

  • The spider in the attic goes up and down, using a translation with a radius (pulling the string of the spider longer).
  • The sun and clouds move, using a translation.
  • The trees and lesser reedmace sway with the deformation mutation.
  • The water of the water wheel moves using a translation mutation.
  • The blades of the wheel move using a translation mutation combined with a stretch mutation.
  • The wheel turns using a stretch mutation combined with a rotation mutation.
  • The depth of layers is done by the color transition mutation, with a color set with a target color.
  • The day/night cycle is done by updating the colors of the target color mutation and adjusting the brightness with the lightness mutation.
  • The beak of the bird is done with the rotation mutation.
  • The eyes of at the hole near the water is done by the opacity mutation.
  • The smoke is done by 2 deformation mutators changing the shape of the model, in combination with a translation mutation moving the model through the deformations causing the smoke to bend and rise.

Butterfly​

The butterfly wings is an animation loop, (using stretch and rotation). But its actually controlled by a small script. The location destination is random, and the butterfly's direction is flipped using the stretch effect. There are 2 landing spots defined, and when landed, the wings animation is changed.

Inkeeper animations​

  • Head tilting is done with the rotation mutation, combined with the hair movement with a deformation.
  • Head turning is done with multiple translation effects moving different layers with different amounts.
  • Mouth movement is done with a translation on the chin, deformation mutations for the lips, translation on the teeth.
  • Eye blinking is done by stretching the eyelids with a deformation and flipping the eyelashes with a stretch effect.
  • Eyes direction is done with translation effect on the pupils, with a stretch mutation to give the eye a more circular effect.
  • Using the broom is done with a multiple of rotation mutations for arm movements.
