[FONT="]I have two years of experience in 3D, and before that several years of experience doing freelance graphic design projects. I have a certificate in 3D Animation from Think Tank Training Centre, as well as training at the Art Institute of Vancouver. I have a strong understanding of the Principles of Animation and…
@zylan Determining if a high poly mesh is acceptable really boils down to how closely the shapes in the model match the shapes in the references and whether or not the topology subdivides cleanly, without generating any noticeable smoothing artifacts or other surface quality issues. If the shapes and surface quality checks…
Hi! I am currently animating a simple character in max with an custom rigg i made, I linked all my IK's to controllers (splines with rendering enabled in the viewport) so i wouldn't have to bother with all the bones. i also constricted the orientations of some of the bones ( like for the feet and hands) to the same…
Hello World! I'm working on a project and I'm curious if it's possible to bring animated blend shapes in Maya into UDK in a similar fashion to skeletal animations or regular blend shapes. My first thought was a geometry cache but I'm not even sure if UDK will accept a geometry cache as animation data and I can't seem to…
Might be a bit confusing I will try to explain it the best I can. I'm trying to compile all of my animations on one timeline to import them into Unity. I created my running animation first but realized I need an idle animation, so just shifted the running anim (starting pose seen on the left) back to frame 20. Plan was to…
If we're strictly talking the game industry I think its mainly because games are so much more than just animation and they tend to have larger teams. With movies the animation is a lot more prevalent. And back in the old days, many animators were very well-known: Eric Goldberg and Glen Keane still work at Disney, then you…
Hi, we are a small indie team and we are looking for a couple more members. Particulary we are interested in a 3d animator and a modeller with a knack for hand painted textures. Engine: Unity3d. Platforms: android, iOS, win8. Genre: top down action RPG. Setting, visual style: mostly fantasy, close to League of Legends and…
So a friend of mine wants to try out 2d animation and I remember reading on here that u should start with a bouncing ball first and then animate a flour stack next e.tc. I think someone made a list of the first 2d animation lessons to start with as beginner as this trains ur eye to animate in shapes and understand…
Hey, We're a small team of 4 people and we just started working on a new MOBA game. Currently, we're looking for an animator with rigging experience (in Blender) to skin/rig/animate our character models. All characters will mostly be humanoids/bipeds, with all of them having an upper body control separate from the lower…
Yea that Idleworm tutorial is great. You'll find that a lot of 2D traditional animation knowledge applies to 3D. Richard Williams book "The Animators Survival Kit" is for 2D artists but I haven't found an 3D animator yet that hasn't read it or been helped by it. His thoughts and examples on walk cycles are great. I…
