The subtitle indicates this was primarily a rigging and deformation test for future projects. Pron reportedly built custom skeletal hierarchies in Blender and Unreal Engine, then applied extreme environmental post-processing (sun shafts, bloom, chromatic aberration) to obscure the mechanical precision of the rigs. The “test” also refers to visible joint limits and deliberate clipping—left in the final render as a stylistic choice to emphasize artifice.

Beasts In The Sun -Skeleton Test- is a short experimental animation study by digital artist Animo Pron. The piece depicts a surreal, sun-scorched landscape where skeletal animal forms—part mechanical, part organic—slowly emerge from cracked earth. The “test” in the title refers to the artist’s exploration of skeletal rigging, environmental lighting, and atmospheric distortion. Rather than a narrative, the work functions as a technical and poetic vignette: a moment where heat, decay, and memory fuse into motion. Beasts In The Sun -Skeleton Test- By Animo Pron -2021-
