Mettaton's Cutting-Edge Autograph [Undertale 3D Animation]

Heya all!! So I was planning to finish this animation for Undertale's anniversary, but... I totally missed it as life has been busy. Whoops 💀 But hey, better late than never, right? I didn't want to rush things as I wanted to ensure the quality was on par with my previous Papyrus animation. Really excited to finally be able to share this with you guys now that it's done!!

Mettaton landed in second place after Papyrus, so now it's his turn to shine in the spotlight (literally)! My goal is to create an animation for each character from that poll, and you bet Alphys and Undyne will share a video when their turn comes (but I'm getting a way ahead of myself here).

So yeah, where do I start?? Mettaton's model and rig were something else. Making the arms noodly and extendable was a fun challenge to tackle. The model itself was tricky in terms of aesthetics as I wanted to go for a slightly more naturalistic yet also cartoony translation, especially on the face, all the while trying to avoid the uncanny valley.

I also decided to stick with the knife theme for my UT fan animations, aiming for that "starts off threatening but turns out wholesome" approach, just like I did for Pap's anim.

I'm super excited to finally share this with you all, as it took a ton of effort, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it! Thanks for your support as always, it's incredible how many there are of you now and I'm super grateful!!

Mettatons the kind of guy who’d be flattered that he got chosen if he was kidnapped

[J.R.Unbound]

Some may question why Mettaton would autograph a knife, especially when the fan snuck onto the stage... but have you considered he might've just wanted to have a stab at it?

"And that's how Mettaton single handedly stopped a genocide run. Upon hearing of this, Sans was confused and amused."

[samgaming]

This animation is looking sharp as hell!

[Z_is_iscool]

This single-handedly made me love Mettaton so much more

Edit: what the- over 800 likes WOW thanks

Great work! The model for Mettaton looks incredible and must have taken a lot of time to make. The metallic sound effects are also really good for this. Great job.

[ModernAegis]

I know this is a Mettaton centric animation, but this is why I love Frisk. They just showed up ready to drop a body but they're so taken aback by the signature that they just kinda forget what they were here for.

[DomoSama]

This just reminds me why I love the characters from Undertale so much. Good animation, really made my morning even more glamorous!

IM DYING FOR THAT LITTLE ARROGANT GIGGLE BEFORE HE TAKES THE KNIFE 0:13

[SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

That is Peak Mettaton and Undertale humor.

Excellent job mate!

[Goofybun-_-]

Truly, this is the canoniest version of Mettaton. From model to character. ❤

[Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

Every model you make looks amazing.
Also, I'd like a mettaton branded knife as well

[lelex]

I love how Mettaton is represented with his original design, and not with a revisited fanmade design. It makes the animation even better

[landracet]

The closed captions for this one are comedy gold. Keep up the good work Lupucs!

[thalesdimiletu]

This is so wholesome!! Really good work on the rendering!

[slight]

I love how you made the stage and the glamorous MTT design, they're really awesome!

(amazing captions by the way, please do more of them XD)

[moonica_aaaaa]

The way this was animated has a stopmotion feel to it, its charming ✨

[squirtle_]

[Your_Folk]
