this is a 3d walk cycle i made. using a rig from the internet, and a video i made last week.

This is some simple maya work iv been doin recently its taken me a while to upload it but here it is in all its fun to do glory.



this video shows anticipation when the character bends down before the jump.
stretch and squash whilst he's in the air.
and
overlay when he lands as the momentum is carried forward.

these are some of the principles of animation we have learnt so far, its all about exhaggerating the movement.

This Most recent Week,

this week has been pretty hectic.
more life drawing an stop animations.
iv managed to get some of my work uploaded it seems to have lost some of its potency if im been honest but still very fun to do.
iv realised making animations this way is a long painstaking process but also very fun.

using maya i realised if the capslock is on then nothing will work .
lame.
but eventually gettina piece of workl im happy with is very rewarding. heres some of th work iv been making this week, an over the last few weeks.









this is most of my work there is some maya wanting to go up but uploading it has been a right farce.

peace.

2nd week.

In this week we did a few more stop frame animations, which im really enjoying. once i find my pen stick i will upload these. I enjoy these because you actually get a result straight away. Where as on maya you do something an it takes alot longer although the pay off is alot more rewarding.
on maya we have been working with some of the basic principles of animation, squash and stretch, anticipation, and overlap.
Maya we made some basic animations of a ball bouncing using pre-set gizmo's around a ball. manipulating the shape to show the principles of animation.
we watched a few more cartoons/animations, some gothic model animations done by some guy who inspired tim burton. some popeye, an peter and the wolf.
also i had to draw some life drawing which was quite weird as it was a guy, but once i got over my immaturities was really useful.

again when i get myself into gear il upload some stuff.

another top week.

My first week

In my first week i did a couple of poses in a drawing class, one of the poses was with another person from my class. we laid on the floor in a geometric shape.

Also i went to a lecture on drawing my notes instead off writting my notes. i did not find this useful i dont understand what my drawing represents the next day.

then i did some life drawing that was pretty amusing. i feel my drawing has improved and also my enjoyment of drawing too.

erm we watched coonskin. that was well funny. we watched some early animations on gertie the dinosaur, and the train robbery.

we did some stop frame animations with cards an drawings when i get them doen properly il upload them.
all in all its been top.

my final peice

This is what I did for my final college piece.
I used Autdesk Maya, and a Mixture of premier and after effects.



its not brill but i am well chuffed with this piece of machinery.
