An Escalator's Purpose...? (Patreon)

BlueskyCategory: Rendered- Animating the escalator's steps was pretty interesting. My initial idea was to just create a long set of steps that moved diagonally at a consistent speed, but it was easier to move one step down and simply repeat the motion in the graph editor with a cycles modifier to give the illusion of movement.- Given that there wasn't much body movement needed to make this animation, it instead gave me the chance to focus more on micro expressions.References:- The Velvet Room attendants don't have a grasp on what some real world objects are used for and often confuse their true purpose for something else.• Notably, Elizabeth tries to walk up against an escalator going down in Persona 3 believing it serves as an obstacle to getting to the next floor.
