In professional animation and 3D modeling pipelines, a (often referred to as a rigging or armature test) is a critical developmental phase. Before an animator applies skin textures, clothing physics, or detailed facial expressions to a digital creature, they must construct a rigid internal skeleton (or "rig").
Beasts in the Sun is an ongoing project designed for PC and Android platforms. Built using Unreal Engine, the game leans heavily into high-end graphical presentation, utilizing advanced lighting systems to create a sun-drenched, atmospheric setting that contrasts with its character designs.

Active primarily between 2018 and 2023, Pron’s portfolio is sparse but potent. Works like "Iron Lullaby" and "Marrow Harvest" carry similar motifs, but remains the hallmark piece, specifically the "Skeleton Test" iteration.
"Beasts in the Sun -Skeleton Test-" is a testament to the power of foundational animation. Animo Pron demonstrates that before a character can captivate an audience with its visual design, it must first move with purpose, weight, and soul. As this project progresses past the skeletal phase, the animation community eagerly anticipates how these raw, powerful movements will translate into a fully realized, textured world.
