Rivals Duel - 2D Animations

Although, I've spent the last 3 years honing my 3D animation skills. Since working on Rivals Duel I've also picked up learning to do some 2D animation. Mostly animating Unity's UI components, whether that be menus made by our UI Artist, to animated emotes.

With the emotes I played with different techniques. Some of the character emotes used several UI images, layering them to create the intended character. For other emotes I opted to use sprite sheets relying on limited frames to save time, as opposed to making a completely smooth animation (time-consuming).

I worked closely alongside our UI Artist to create animations from her menu UI. She delivered the static visuals and my job was to implement them into Unity and create the animations from there.
