Walkin'

We'll take a look at these on Monday, April 28

3D Animation Project 3: Oberleutnant Dan

Behold, your next rig-- Lt. Dan! This time we've got legs and feet. . . and an optional tail. This time, we're doing walk and run cycles. Oh yes. Click here to download the Lieutenant Dan rig.
Lt. Dan and the bouncing ball rig were designed and built by Matt Ornstein! Props to him, I say!

Here's a 5 minute Miles video introducing the Lt. Dan rig:





Here's the link to the youtube page, if the embed video is lame.

For Monday, April 21 put Lt. Dan through some basic jumps. We'll start in on walks and runs on Wednesday, April 23.

3D Animation Project 2: Dualin' Ballz

SOU alum Steve Hammond shows how to get it done!

Take the ball rig, make a prop or two, and make an animation!
To ponder:

• Beginning, middle, end. 
• Character, deliberate action.
• Staging
• Poses... pose to pose with quick transitions
• Hold Keys
• Moving holds vs. static holds
• Not too much more than 5 seconds!

Rough Cut crit... Monday, April 13

Check out Steve Hammond's work!
