As we approach the release of Farming Simulator 25, we thought a sprinkle of cuteness would be fitting. Get ready with a GIF that basically speaks for itself:
We also had a delightful conversation with our Senior Animator, Rahul Narode, to discuss the endearing animations of both quadrupeds and bipeds, like chickens! Check out the interview below, featuring even more delightful baby GIFs to keep you entertained.
But wait, there’s more! Discover new animal types and customize their habitats, allowing for bespoke fences around animal pens. Craft unique farms all centered on animal care. Isn’t that amazing?
Animal farmers can take full control with customizable pens by choosing different colors, installing solar panels, and even designing fences themselves. Mold the layout to fit any space and navigate around obstacles effortlessly!
Let’s continue this journey with a brief pause for some adorable baby animals:
Aww…
With the inclusion of baby animals, Water Buffalos, and Goats in Farming Simulator 25, you can anticipate a more dynamic and vividly colored farm.
Animals start as tiny newborns, mature into juveniles, and eventually become productive adults. Explore what each animal offers and their purpose.
Who is responsible for all this delightful animation magic? Meet the animator himself!
First, can you share a bit about yourself and your overall role?
I serve as a Senior Animator at GIANTS Software. My duties involve crafting and fine-tuning animations for Farming Simulator 25, reviewing them to meet our standards before integrating them into the game.
Describe your animation process—how do you begin, and what are the steps?
Before diving into animation, I consider the specific needs of an animal, determining the desired outcome. This involves conceptualizing the animal’s traits, studying its movements, and gathering accurate references.
I seek out video materials that showcase real-life animal behavior. A meticulous study of animal characteristics is essential to capture each nuanced detail.
Once I identify captivating movements for the game and feel content with my references, I commence the animation process, undergoing several revision phases until they align with our standards.
Which unique behaviors will baby animals demonstrate, and what challenges do they present?
Baby animals exhibit behaviors true to their species—simultaneously fast and endearing.
Miniature animals are quite nimble, making them challenging to animate. Capturing all their quick, fleeting actions is especially demanding in keyframe animation.
Do you have a personal favorite among the baby animals, and why?
Among the Farming Simulator 25 lineup, baby goats stand out for their lively hops and jumps—they’re irresistibly cute with a playful spirit. However, in reality, I adore rabbits. Their small, rapid movements and fascinating ear twitches are captivating.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our fans?
Farming Simulator 25 is a distinct creation, and I hope our fans and players find immense joy in playing it. Our entire team has dedicated significant effort to make this game truly remarkable!
