Hey there, welcome to Melowilo Character Animation!

I’ve been bringing characters to life for 25 years—working as a Lead Animator at three different game studios and now diving headfirst into my own indie game project. Animation is more than just a skill to me; it's a lifelong passion, an art form, and sometimes, a test of patience (we’ve all wrestled with broken rigs, right?).

Here, I share everything I’ve learned—from deep dives into Blender and Maya, to workflow tricks, animation techniques, and industry insights. Whether you're just starting out or refining your craft, I hope this channel becomes a place where we can learn, experiment, and create together.

Let’s animate something amazing!
