Asgard's Wrath 2 - Chris Magovern Animation Reel

A sampling of my favorite animations I got to work on for Asgard's Wrath 2, a Quest VR game over at Sanzaru Games/Oculus Studios. As a principal/lead animator on the project, I focused largely on gameplay combat animations, particularly on the Followers. Also defined most base idles and locomotion cycles for Heroes and Followers, had plenty of cinematics to work on, animated the Serpopard and Anubis boss fights, and was in charge of most Weaver animations, including the Weaver Hands throughout the game/menus. Was truly a dream project. Hope y'all dig it!

This was sooo cool seeing the animations/behind the scenes! Really appreciate this. I’m gonna remember this for the rest of my days as probably the first Amazon get VR game ever played :]

That's so awesome to hear! Really glad you enjoyed the game, it was a blast to work on!

An absolute massive well done to you. Asgard’s Wrath 2 wouldn’t be the same without the smooth and elegant animation. Every time I play this game, I can see the extreme amount of effort that went into it. You should be extremely proud of yourself! Well done! 💫

[@chrismagovern]

I was blown away by the quality of animation in this game. It really helped give it that AAA feel that sets it apart from most VR games.

[@chrismagovern]

You’re insane dude.

So cool to see the animation reels for this game. I hope you do more of this.

[@user-mz1sp7bg2r]

Amazing animation!

[@LARVideos]

Do these have higher resolution textures than what's in the Quest 2 optimized version of the game? If so, do you think these textures might find their way to the Quest 3 version?

[@keen-xv6tb]

Would it be possible if you could do animation reels for heru, the sekhmet bruisers, and the weavers? I do understand that you did work on those characters bit If it is possible to do this then that would be awesome thanks.
