Reflection of Progress Overall I am quite happy with how my animations turned out for this assignment. I believe that I have learnt a lot over these past couple of weeks while working on this assignment. I can definitely see a big improvement in my cycles compared to the ones I made last year.Continue reading Animation Studies – Reflection
Walk Cycle Run Cycle Lifting Heavy Object
Heavy Lift Continued This week I continued making progress on my lifting animation. After making changes to the timing based on my feedback last week, I was ready to start animating other movements within my animation. I started off with the hands. Before now, I hadn’t bothered to animate the hands. This meant thatContinue reading Animation Studies – Week 7
Blocking the Heavy Lift For the third animation for this assignment, we were given the freedom to animate any kind of body mechanics study. In a previous study I had looked at a character jumping, so I wanted to try something new this time. I decided to have a character lift a heavy objectContinue reading Animation Studies – Week 6
Run Cycle Continued This week I decided to continue working on my run cycle. Before I started working on animating the character’s clothing and hair, I decided to make adjustments to the character’s movements based on the feedback that I received last week. After showing the blocked out version of my animation toContinue reading Animation Studies – Week 5
Blocking the Run Cycle Following the same process as my walk cycle, I ported in my references and I started my run cycle by blocking out the key poses in my animation. Since I’m only blocking out the run cycle at this stage, I won’t be working on the clothing or the hair. Continue reading Animation Studies – Week 4
Walk Cycle Continued This week I continued my walk cycle by making changes based on the feedback that I had received from peers. I first decided to fix the hip movements, so that they appear much more natural with each step. I also tried out the face controls and gave the character aContinue reading Animation Studies – Week 3
Blocking the Walk Cycle This week I decided to work on my walk cycle as I believe this will be the easiest of the three animations, and so this would be the best one to start with to allow me to practice with the Azri rig. Part of the assignment involves considering the animationContinue reading Animation Studies – Week 2
Research and Planning For our second assignment for the animation strategies module, we have been tasked to create a walk cycle, a run cycle and a body mechanics study to practice biped animation. For this assignment we had the choice to do these animations in either 2D or 3D. I have decided toContinue reading Animation Studies – Week 1
