Welcome to Animworks Collective! đź‘‹

:waving_hand: Welcome to the Animworks Collective!

Whether you just animated your first bouncing ball or you’ve shipped titles at a major studio — you belong here.

The Animworks Collective is a free, open community built for everyone who lives and breathes animation. No gatekeeping, no egos, no “that’s a dumb question.” Just passionate people helping each other get better.


Here’s how to get started:

:yellow_circle: Step 1 — Introduce yourself in the :waving_hand: Introductions category. Tell us your name, what you animate, your experience level, and one animation that changed your life.

:yellow_circle: Step 2 — Post something. Seriously. Even if it’s rough. Especially if it’s rough. This community grows when people are brave enough to share work in progress.

:yellow_circle: Step 3 — Give feedback. The best way to learn is to teach. When someone posts work, jump in. Be specific, be kind, be honest.


Community Rules (short version):

:white_check_mark: Be generous with your knowledge
:white_check_mark: Give specific, constructive feedback
:white_check_mark: Credit references and inspiration
:cross_mark: No self-promotion spam
:cross_mark: No putting people down for their level
:cross_mark: No AI-generated work posted as your own


This is Harvey Newman’s community, born from 20+ years in the industry working on titles like Horizon Zero Dawn, Star Wars Battlefront, Fable, and more. The goal is simple: make this the best animation community on the internet. Let’s build it together. :yellow_heart:
