Watch Reimu Hakurei Battling a Guard in This Maya-Made 3D Animation
Sure hope Reimu has some extends.
3D Artist and Animator known only by their Reddit handle Opposite_Pack7300 has recently appeared out of nowhere with a stunning 3D animation that looks so energetic and dynamic – and absolutely side-splitting, should you hit pause at the right moments – it makes you question how this could possibly be their first project and why no one had heard of Opposite_Pack7300 just four days ago.
Titled Step Up, the sequence shows Touhou Project's Reimu Hakurei battling a towering, heavily-armored guard, with the outcome leaving viewers hoping she came prepared with at least a couple of extends. As the author explains, the animation was set up in Maya, edited in DaVinci Resolve, and touched up in Krita.
Those with an eye for 3D animation will quickly recognize this particular Reimu model – and yes, for this project, Opposite_Pack7300 used the Reimu Animation Rig by MegaBuBu. The artist also used Emilio Serrano's Ghost Armour rig, along with a VFX pack by Shadrak Guichard-Foster.
We highly encourage you to follow Opposite_Pack7300 on Reddit so as not to miss their future endeavors.
