really? more programmers than animators? I understand that there are maybe 5 animators hanging around here, and I tend to kind of understand why there are so few - but to think that there are more than 5 PROGRAMMERS here? these are dark times indeed :) my professional experience of animation (in sweden) is very negative…
Ah yes, animation is great. Creating motion and trying your best to make it have impact. If you think about it though a lot of the consideration and planning that goes into Timing in animation is pretty technical. It's all fun though, especially once you start to get some good results. Cexar, what are the chances an…
Hi Cexar, Thanks for your answer! I guess there are more animators than what I thought here. Cool! :) I do like the technical part of cg so it won't be a problem. I guess that making the character move like if it was alive is the most rewarding thing of animation after all the hard work. I love the animations in Batman,…
Hi guys, Thank you VERY much for your answers! :) Hi Timidy, Yes, I thought the same thing in the first place, it would be awesome if polycount would have an animation area with showcase and WIPs. Anyway any insight about professional experience from the people here it's unvaluable. Thanks! :) Hi Curtis, Thanks for the…
It's because some of the animation is so fluid and realistic. When I saw the film there was no doubt in my mind that it was good old fashioned manual animation but I found a thread with a lot of people speculating as to whether or not any mocap was used. It took someone who actually worked with the team to come in there…
From what I've seen here on Polycount there are mostly digital sculptors or character artists here and programmers and tech artists. And also, the environment artists. So, basically artists and programmers here. I don't think there are too many animators. I call myself an animator but can't give any experience notes since…
I can't remember the name of the ..... OK wait Baha! Found the thread here :http://www.11secondclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10929 There is all sorts of speculation besides mocap ; some people in the thread actually speculate that Disney may have also "reused" old material from their older great animations like "Tarzan"…
It's always a delight seeing people who enjoy animation here on Polycount. Do you like the technical aspect of animation? At smaller studios you're the rigger so that might be something to know beforehand. Also animation, where I work, is at the far end of the pipeline. Concept artists have made the designs, character…
Hello guys, I hope that someone can help me with this doubt that I have. I am coursing a Master's in the UK to put my career on track. We are given the option to specialize in one area. I am doubtful about what to choose because I will focus in that area for the next years if not the rest of my career. I love both…
