This is my go at this. Please excuse the wonky door way :joy:
I wanted to get the animation out as fast as possible and so made some corner cuts here and there!

I cheated a bit. I reused material from the Blender 3D course (which I followed and appreciated very much). Where we crafted a church with a arch. I only needed to build render the portcullis. and three render with transparent bitmaps (I could have rendered it also as animation in Blender, but I didn’t).

Based on:

That’s it. Happy animating.

Here are my porcullises. I kept them simple and they still took me a decent chunk of time!

Portcullis
The inner portcullis is animated mechanically. It moves at 5 px per frame. The outer portcullis starts out moving at 5 px a frame for the first two frames, then doubles it’s movement each frame for three frames, and bounces and jiggles at the end.

Love the jiggle!

Nice shake at the end!

Here’s the portcullis being steadily lowered.

This second one moves a little bit farther each tick, and then I added some dust at the end.

Dang. Should have made mine bounce! I did mine before watching the rest of the video.
