Thursday’s module for this term is Animation Strategies.

 

Alec talked about the difference between IK (inverse kinematics) and FK (forward kinematics) and how to switch between the two when animating and posing a character rig.

We were asked to download the Snow and Rain rigs and practice posing the model to get used to using rigs.

Using pictures references I found on Pinterest I did a couple of practice poses with the Rain model.

 

 

 

After I was comfortable posing the rig I decided to test posing the face.

 

After lunch Aodhan did an intro to Harmony lesson.

I was finding using Harmony difficult to work so did a basic walk cycle for practice.

 

For homework I did a 3D walk cycle using the Rain rig.

Using this for reference I did both the 3D walk cycle and the Harmony practice walk cycle.
