Beautiful video. I would love to see this animation technique combined with an evolution simulation similar to Karl Sims' Evolved Virtual Creatures project:

I hope the author sees this. Dude, your video is so awesome, thank you! But your microphone is "popping" every time you say a 'P' or a 'T' sound. This is because you are speaking directly into it. Try talking "past" it instead. Your vocal sound goes out in all directions, but the "wind" from your mouth that creates the pops only goes in one direction -- straight forward -- so if you slide your microphone to the side, you will still have good sounding audio with no pops.

I was thinking the same! Hope everyone that liked the first video check this one out too.

Thanks, I didn’t know about that technique. I’ll definitely fix it for the next video! I was on a time crunch while making the voiceover for this one. I didn’t have a pop filter and thought I could get away with a software de-plosive. Turns out popping is pretty difficult to fix without warping or trimming audio.

Funny enough, I came here to say that I watched that without sound and it was still very interesting and easy to follow. This person is a really great educator. Their other videos look equally intriguing and well done: https://www.youtube.com/@argonautcode

Regarding the "derpy lizard", I think it would look much better if it had some gait pattern - maybe not allowing some legs to reach at the same time, or just starting the legs and their target points with different offsets so they don't move in phase with each other.

Beautiful video though, would love to see more content from you.
