The blocking for the exercise was completed and the animation was gone over in the graph editor. This greatly helped to edited and smooth the arcs and momentum that is naturally carried in a jumping motion. Animating a quadruped was definitely something more difficult that required the animation to be watched over and over again before fully understanding it. Reference material was invaluable as with all animation. After using the rig I found that were some serious issues, the biggest being when thorax collapses when the front legs rise.

It has been some time since the last post and it has been a strange period. Never the less I had made a start on a wolf animation. This begins with the blocking of the animation using a rig created by Truong Cg Artist. This proved to be a challenge as quadrupeds was something I do not normally animate. While I have theory from university I had yet to apply it within a 3D wold. However it is a challenge I quite enjoy. The facial features, tail and minor controls are yet to be fully animated for this segment.

My show reel for the start of 2020. This includes highlights from University, from projects to animation exercises. Projects used in this reel include my final year project 'Battle of Néry' and 'A Cell's Cycle', which have been completed on an individual level. Please feel free to contact me with the details provided. Thanks to Adam Vitovský for his music link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SAPrPZVTjs

A number of Adobe Animate exercises from university that look at timing, motion and studies An exercise focusing on slow in and slow out Another exercise focusing on motion and timing A practice in transitions Using a ball to display weight, arcs and motion Variety of weights displayed through a number of bouncing balls Weight shown through a character A simple study on a live person dragging a weight A simple study on a more unusual walk cycle A dance study A simple four-legged walk cycle  

Another animation exercise completed within one sitting. Instead of using the 'Moom' rig today I used my WW1 animation rig. This time it consists of a simple jog, however due to an issue in the IK arm controls I was not able to fix the slight pauses in the arms swinging in the graph editor.  reference,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmc_4X2SQIY

This post contains a number of 10 minute pose exercises using reference material from the internet. These exercises have been completed with the Moom rig. If smaller details such as the facial expression and hands are not completed within the time limit I use an extra minute to finish the pose. Alongside poses there are also two animations also using the Moom rig.  reference,  https://mausspacearchive.tumblr.com/post/71051795104 reference,  https://thoughtcatalog.com/january-nelson/2018/05/dynamic-action-poses/ reference,  https://best-wallpaper.net/Smile-girl-jump-pose-white-background_wallpapers.html reference,  https://routgveriprt.com/?wmi=60935&lp=24&max=10&clickid=e57c5cc41fa56b77ff94c4b94bf10375-9964-1227# reference,  https://www.pinterest.at/pin/540713498985070098/ reference,  https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/21884748173515244/?lp=true reference,  https://www.yogiapproved.com...
