The Gnomon Workshop - Character Animation:
Mechanics And Emotion
| 810 Mb |
This is Chris's
second lecture in a series on character animation using Maya. Using the
same character rig as in Character Animation: Fundamentals, Chris leads
you down the twin paths of successful character animation: mechanics and
emotion. Conjoining believable motion with believable acting is the
holy grail of animation, and this duality is demonstrated by animating
the bouncing man.
Chris covers appealing poses, believable weight
distribution, activation of limbs, use of gesture to demonstrate
attitude, the aura of the character and effective utilization of the
stage
