New Insightful Game Animation Tips From God of War Animator

For those who missed this news, Avery Adams, Gameplay Animator at Insomniac Games with previous experience on God of War: Ragnarök, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Hogwarts Legacy, has launched a series of short guides on 3D animation in video games called Anim Tips.

Using sequences from previous Avery's projects as an example, Anim Tips explains various useful gameplay animation techniques accompanied by an insightful commentary, covering such topics as key poses, unique choreography, in-between frames, and more to better convey character emotions and make the animation stand out in a presentation.

Since the last time we covered the Anim Tips series, two new episodes have been released, presenting advice on using VFX trails and adding a shake animation layer to enhance realism and translate the action more naturally.

As for now, there are five chapters in the series and Anim Tips creator doesn't have any plans to wrap it up soon, especially considering the amount of attention the latest entry has received on social media, and we hope to cover more of Avery Adams' valuable tips on 3D gameplay animation in the future.

In the meantime, we highly encourage you to follow him on X/Twitter to not miss any future breakdowns and more animation content.
