Marrow Moon: the gardener

The Defold Lab's second hero, all three phases of the 2D pre-rendered pipeline. The AI turnaround of an elderly flat-capped gardener (left); the Blender build — a rigid-bound charkit rig whose three walking rows come from one retargeted CMU walk (clip 02_01, shoulder-line auto-facing, one elevated camera with the character turned per row), rendered to cropped sprite rows with a camera-space normal pass (centre); and the gardener live in his moonlit walled garden in Defold, ferrying snails through a 3/4 top-down night (right). Download the mocap-animated rig below.
