This week was more focused on breaking everything down to bear key frames so we could clearly see the line of action during our weightlifting. The idea behind the line of action is related to the animation priceable of appeal because if the poses aren’t interesting why would you want to watch it in theContinue reading week – 8 body mechanics
For this week we were to continue with what we had been doing with an unreal engine by practicing setting up material node charts to create costume texture for the environment. Though this time around we were given 2 tasks, the first one being to use pre-loaded assets to create a forest screen by usingContinue reading week – 8 unreal editing
For this week we started the next project for body machines where we looked at how the body moves during a weightlift. The idea is to try and convey a more realistic since of weight within this animation so, when we view it, we can see the struggle of the character and in theprocess tricking us into believing that the 2D weights havesome weight to them.for this I looked at some tips for this subject where Ifound a post by the animationmentor where it states that “Weight is described through theContinue reading week – 7 weight lifting
For this week it was a little introduction to the unreal engine and how we could manipulate it to design our world. The unreal engine is a powerful piece of software which has the rare ability to render in real time which gives you a realistic environment worthy of a big screen movie. It alsoContinue reading week – 7 unreal engine
This unit was stressful to say the least due to having to balance multiple cycles at once along with reassert and putting my references into practice. This came down to me putting a lot of pressure to get things done within a Critten time, and I was told by a few tutors that I wasContinue reading reflection – Animation Strategies

For this week we were looking into the body mechanics of a run and jump and how to really sell force and weight in mid-air. The first task was to do a 3d jump of which we blocked out but, the challenge was to get a flowing movement through the arcs of the jump. IContinue reading week- 5 run and jump
Typology For the class tasks this week it was mostly focused on solving typology problems and how to start retopologies the face. The idea is that there were 8 task which all involved fixing the typology of each shape, the fist was how to get the typology to flow properly and technique to helpContinue reading week- 5 retopology
Sneak progress Continuing with my 3D walk and getting some advice from the tutor to slow the walk down to around 50 to 45 frames to really slow it down so we see the weight of properly coming down on the contact and down pose. This also allows more room to exaggerate all the movementsContinue reading week 4- run
