A dude with frickin’ 1k subs that I randomly found is better at animating an already rigged model than professionals. That’s sad.

You can just see her brain melting… 
If they hired this guy, she probably wouldn’t have been an animatronic muppet in the cinematics.

Doesn’t compare to this old gem from Blizzard Thailand or Taiwan I can’t remember the exact origin…
Either way it’s a classic:

There’s huge difference in what can be done with pre rendered animations and scripted game engine animation served by WoW servers.
A far comparison would be with blizzards pre rendered animations.
… The Jaina one literally ripped the model straight out the game and used its available rigging.
It literally transitions BETWEEN her available facial features in the game seamlessly between them.
But it’s animated and rendered by an animation program. That program will be able to do a lot more with the model then the game engine.
Not that blizzard couldn’t have done better but the fair comparison is still with their pre rendered animation.
aNdUiN nO!
Compared to: This just uses the in-game models. Period. In Wrath.
My guy. You’ve gotta be bull 
ing me.
You’re telling me they can’t avoid MUPPETING a character in a CUTSCENE. In 2021?
Quixote really does fit you, those non-existent windmills are going to win the battle.

why does anduin look like a sex doll in the first video
He’s had about as much personality as one, so, eh.
I do not know why, but not many AAA studios have access to Blender.
OMG THAT IS BRILLIANT! Sailor Moon Garrosh!
Where do I sign up?!?!?!?
That’s what was funny about the Jaina scene in the tree.
I am assuming they spent the money on the full autodesk suite with maya/3dsm for one computer license at least. That work could have been done in blender for free.
The marionette movement, Jaina having stroke like symptoms with face losing any muscle control…I sense rush job on that with executive coming down saying good enough, ship it.
Any decent animator would have said its not ready dude. I sense the evil entity I call “the suits” came down and said don’t care. Launch it.

i think they spend all the budget on marketing and 3d cinematic trailers.
where very little of the resources went into actual product.

Doesn’t Blender have a bit of a learning curve to overcome or something? 
Its basically the same as autocad stuff. Most of these applications work off basic “normal” setups. These apps are like cars. There will at least be the usual steering wheel, pedals, and windshield wipers lol.
Its a matter of just finding these basics in the menu’s and UI really. I will say from time in autocad stuff back in the day…it has the cleaner UI.
Blender I have tried to dabble with but…yeah I was too many years away from this stuff to try for 3d modelling angles to mod creation for fallout 4 and such. Best I work up to is playing with nif scope. that is is more tweaks to already made objects.
