Goblin 2d Lip Sync Session 2

Session Review

Experimentation with models limbs


During today’s session for the goblin 2d lip sync I ham simply colouring and shading the other remaining frames. Despite wanting have spare time to learn more about the new Hulk Rigged character I obtained, it was worth completing the colouring for the goblin lip sync. Additionally I created a gif to observe if the frames would smoothly transition and appear as if the goblin was saying “What You Want”?


I have also saved each frame as a png ready to place them in adobe premiere once I record the audio saying “What you want”. Also the last remaining hours of this session was spent playing around with the Hulk rig learning how to move the main legs and arms.



However, interestingly I originally found the visibility of the characters skeleton to be a hindrance blocking me form seeing only the character controls; however, the skeletons is a good guide to see the limbs move and bend and helps me to capture particular frames that I desire.


Overall when I enter the lesson tomorrow I will have another animation ready to display to the lecturer and the Hulk character file has been set up ready for me to start a 3d walk cycle.

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. 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

Image
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.
