Vanilla Walk (Splining)


So we're onto week 9 now, and this week we continue the work on our Vanilla walk. We have to take the walk out of blocking and make the curves nice and smooooooth. We also have to make a pose that shows "CONCERNED", that will come later in the week... Heres what I have for the walk!

Vanilla Walk (Blocking)


Hi everyone. So we're on to week 7 already. This week we have 2 assignments. The first one is to create a "vanilla" walk cycle (ie a walk at its most basic level) using the Ballie Rig and with a limit of 48 frames (or 2 full cycles, 4 steps in total). Right now, for this week, the assignment is to simply stay in a blocking phase, so it wont be nice, smooth and pretty this week :(. The 2nd assignment is to create a pose that conveys "Physical Strength". Keep on truckin, and by trucking I mean, following my blog :P

Tailor


whoa, week 7 already, man time is flying!! This week's assignment has us playing with the tailor rig (ie ball with tail) This assignment teaches us how to use overlapping action, line of action and to be conscious of arcs. All the same principles we learned from previous weeks come into play for this one, and man, its a difficult one. I now present to you Tailor in "Epic Fail".

Pendulum


Hail all my loyal followers. This week, I bring you the pendulum project! So basically, the assignment is suppose to be real simple (ie, comes to a stop, and watch the pendulum part settle, or a figure 8, with the pendulum settling) but hell, I wanna do something fun. I decided to give my pendulum some character, added in rotation and some squash and stretch.
