209 WIP

Ok this is the WIP for this week’s assignment. This pass is only with the copy pairs for feet and hands and I have refined the throw on ones from frame 154 to 180. All the rest is straight from step mode to linear.

Next pass I will add the ball, make sure the hands are looked after (probably a polish pass), check the orientation of the head, do a copy pair on the spine and add more breakdowns.

208 assignment

Here is my new assignment for last week.

This week is second pass of blocking, week after refining, and the one after is final with polishing.

I spent a lot of time on this assignment already but only a bit is showing on the blocking since I have redone it completly. To be honest I have never felt so lost, how much should we put in the blocking? What do you do to avoid rotoscoping?
Hopefully this will be cleared when Robert comments my work.

I am gonna do this assignment in 3dsmax because I haven’t used it for a long time and never for character animation before. I usually claim that Max is a very decent 3d software so I have decided to put money where my mouth is this time. Will I burn my fingers? So far so good except that the rig is a bit different from the AM one. Here I have to animate the pole vector for knees and elbows.
