2d Orc Sword Slash

Thursday 7th May 2015 Session Review C ontinuing from yesterday afternoon I proceeded to begin my sequence for orc slash. I simply continued to place each frame in order and clean the quality of the image by erasing any extra pen marks for each sketch. Once the animation cycle was completed I had asked my colleague Georgi to grant me a critical opinion and he suggested perhaps including a gradient for the last two frames of the orc swinging the sword. This was an excellent suggestion since the gradient applied an illusion of movement from the sword. Once i submitted the previous week's animations including the sword slash for class review my lecturer and other fellow colleagues suggested, as usual, I needed to create the in-between movements for the roman soldier defensive stance and the same for the max character animations.

Red Hulk Run Cycle Revisit

Session Review B efore I returned home I wanted to finish my improvements to my red hulk run cycle since the first test render did not successfully create a smooth loop.

So for my red hulk run I observed the movements of Usain Bolt sprinting on the 100-meter track and witnessed how at the start of the sprint all the athletes bent their spine  and towards the end the sprint the athletes straightened their back and they began to decelerate. To conclude this production log I have include

Max Upper Cut Animation

Session Review Animating the uppercut in 3d studio max B efore going to sleep I decided to begun further editing the max model in 3d studio max because I wished to create another attack in particular an uppercut. I went to a sprite resource website I personally knew of named Mortal Kombat Warehouse which provided me with all of the graphics of the Mortal Kombat Game series which was useful indeed as a visual reference.  While creating this animation I had to enact the movement of the uppercut several times to observe that the spine and hips must swerve and arm had to move in an arc as the impact of the punch was ended as the character straitened their spine.
