Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
Can't help you with anything Maya related, sorry, man. I was trained in 3DSMax myself. However, I will say that if you're still having this much trouble figuring out how to work with curves and other areas of animating in Maya, you should spend more time doing simple anims while you better understand the program, IMO. When… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
Hey just popping in to say don't get scared and go back to basics, you will ofc make more mistakes with complex animation, but you should absolutely push yourself with difficult human animation. (Not saying it isn't useful to go and do basic tests sometimes but generally always make animation you find difficult and… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEGGNuGeBjI Long time no animate =] I've been having some 'life issues' but I went into Maya and sculpted a new animation based off my 2nd most recent 'walking ball' animation. I've hidden the arms for now since I don't know how to handle them yet. Good leg work? (if you see a weird hiccup on… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
As I went through your progression, I saw you greatly improving. It tells me you're on the right track. A part of getting better is just doing it a lot and that's what you're doing. So keep it up :) My over all critique (and something I struggle with myself so that is why is jumped out at me) is how quick your animations… -
Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
Fellow animators, I'm looking for your help here on conformation that I'm going down the right track to becoming, hopefully, a sucsessful animator. I've been researching animation for about 4 weeks now and I've really got involved with the very essence of animation. I've took the time to read most of Richard Williams… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
I'm not nearly as concerned with your footwork as I am with the hands. I'm suprised you didn't get much comment on it. The hands in your animations feel really stiff, rigid up to the elbow. Namely in the "sad robot" expected movement would be for his hands to be slack, instead of parrying the air. Its good to see that… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
Great to hear!! I feel like I'm in a similar boat; after rushing in with a somewhat cocky attitude, I have stepped back, humbled myself, and am trying to really steep myself in the essence of animation. I've been reading through the entire Richard Williams book as well, and if that book won't put you in the right mindset,… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
That's a pretty nice tutorial. The only bit that it is missing is a bit of curve on the spine as it takes the impact of all that weight coming down. Right now, the back is a stiff board which takes a bit of the life out of the animation. @Taylor: I think you're progressing along really well. And doing the right thing by… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
Er, sorry...I find that very offensive. What do you think I've been doing JimeeB? That's not very polite. I'm fairly sure I've mentioned that I have read the entire Animators Survival Kit twice. You'd think over months that aspiring animator would read the animation principals right? I, of course, have over 25 bookmarks,… -
Re: Animator- The Right Track? Anim progress log
Hey, is there any site I can find a bunch of video files for animation refrence that come with numbered frames? That'd be awesome to have because I could clearly see where to put the main poses in line with the video and so on.
