Hey guys, this is my first ever post on PolyCount so bare with me. This thread is going to be myself showing my progress as a work on my university Module. The module is Optical Motion Capture and requires me to make 5 different animations which have to include a run cycle and a stand idle. As you can probably figure out…
Hi! I have some problems with hand keying animations using the HIK control rig (2013). I have done a few simple test animations to see how well one could animate with the HIK rig but I ran into some problems straight away. After saving the file and reopening it, a lot of the animation info was missing or altered. For…
Hey all, I've been working on some animation sets for a half-man, half-snake character and I've run across a couple of issues that I was hoping you fantastic human beings could help me work through. To preface: I'm no animator, so to animate this creature I've been importing existing human animations for the upper body and…
Hello! My name is Vinicius, I’m a junior 3D artist focused on character modeling for games. I recently finished college in animation and I’m looking for opportunities to gain real experience in game projects. I’m open to collaborate on indie projects or even volunteer to help a team. My main goal is to learn, grow as an…
Okay, I think I've figured it out. The problem was being caused by adding all of the joints in the rig to each of the animation layers, even though none of the joints are being directly manipulated for any of the animation, all of the animation is being done through set driven keys. So I think I was creating dependencies…
Ok so I finished the environment for Po-Koro, or at least what I can do with it now. I'm sure I'll get back to it after the scene is finished and tweak but until then, I'm going to start animations. Now I'm not entirely animation saavy considering I haven't taken any courses for 3D animation and my Traditional animation…
[ QUOTE ] I wonder if theres any free 3d(skeleton)animating program that will export the animation files to 3d objects because last time I fiddled around with anim8or, they didn't ahve that feature. does blender do it? [/ QUOTE ] try to use CHARACTER FX _ animation tool, it cost only 15$ !!! Easy to use.…
Hey So I'm still a student and seem to be getting a bit mixed up on which is the best frame rate for showing my animations. I have some animations created at 30fps and some at 24fps. Some even at 29.97. However when it comes to collating all these animations into one showreel, I am going to have some artefacts or just…
Hi, we are a group of friends working on a story driven adventure. The story is inspired by true events based on the life of a puppet master in the state of Rajasthan, India; revealed through a puppet. What's the progress? We're currently at the start of the project. We have laid out our basic game mechanics and we are…
Hey everyone! I've been in my career for 10 years and in my current role for the past five as the Lead Animator - and sole animator - at my company. On-going constraints at my company have lead to a portfolio I'm not entirely proud of and I'm here to fix that! I use Max but I'm currently in the process of learning Blender.…
