Session Review

Over the course of today’s session I have inked over my pencil sketches and drew Monty the brats jacket in pencil over the anatomy so that I can scan it and draw over the pencil lines with a black paintbrush in Photoshop. The reason for me drawing the jacket in pencil is because I wanted to experiment and drawn and include more detail in this drawing; however, if the coat did not look similar to the movements of natural cloth movement then I would rub it out on paper and draw it again.

Additionally, I have also managed to successfully scan my hand renderings and transfer them into Adobe Photoshop.

Red Hulk Run Cycle Revisit

Image
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. Once I opened the file I discovered the reason why my the original run cycle was not looping successfully was that Maya had moved the position of the right leg for the passive pose. Setting up the scene in Maya 2015 In addition, my lecturer had discussed with the class and I to use real life footage of human movement instead of CGI and cartoon footage as your official reference material since I would have been mimicking the original animators work and possibly be disciplined for plagiarism. 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 inc...

Goblin 2d Lip Sync Session 1

Wednesday 15th April 2015 Session Review C ontinuing from yesterday’s chimpanzee study I have decided to put that study on hold because the walk itself is using all fours despite a chimpanzee being a humanoid biped. The reason for this is the brief stated we were to produce a series of animations entirely for human bipeds which I assume also means the character walking using two legs not his arms as well. As I have begun drawing the frames for my 2d goblin lip sync, I started to realize that some key mouth frames were similar so for the efficiency of time I decided to annotate my work and state that some frames could be re-used and repeated for certain letter poses. Concluding this session for today I have begun to colour and shade the goblin faces via Adobe Photoshop CC.

3 Studio Max; Max Character Death Animation

Saturday 2nd May 2015 Session Review Animating the character Max By Sebastian Jones A s the final submission date draws near I will ignore Jacques word son only using Maya for our 3d animation work and use 3d studio max since I was unsuccessfully in downloading Maya 2013 and 2014 on my home PC. In addition, the character rig was from the 11-second club and I recognize as the model I used for my BTEC Level 3 games design animation module and the creator has done a good job since the rig is cleanly setup where each joint rotates and moves accordingly and there is a broad range of facial feature movement controllers.
