Stop motion style animation of a Hen frying an egg

Hi everyone,

Here’s a Hen frying an egg!
When i created this I thought it was just a bit of dark humour, but I’ve since learned that chickens will eat pretty much anything. Including eggs. Happily. So not so much dark, quirky gag as just documentary :sweat_smile:

Hungry Henibal Lector Sneak Cycle:

Some stills: Some objects are probably a bit dense, but I don’t model very often and I was having fun :stuck_out_tongue: I’m a big fan of the isometric, cozy-style art so I wanted to play around with it.



Model/Rig demo: I was going for a stop motion aesthetic with the animation, so I used Claydoh shaders- really lovely to work with. I rigged using Auto Rig Pro, which is glorious and so lovely to use. I used bendy bones in the neck to help get that chicken-style head movement.

I wanted the background objects to suggest that this Hen LOVES eating eggs, and obviously had to put a Suzanne plant pot in there too.
