For George’s class homework
The planing below shows the personal thinking with Pendulum and find some reference form the book “Animation Survival Kit”， and for my understanding with power reduce rule is that every high point should not be more higher than fomer one.
For Maya animation
week 2, I feel more familiar and more relaxed with Maya animation making, because I know what I need to do and cope with the same problem last week.
So the pendulum animation in this week that I can combine my understanding with pendulum principle. But some skilling things always make some trouble for this home work like when I want to key this frame, this amimation will vanish? I am so confuse about, after I ask for my classmate Bingbing and Chichi for help that I found that if I want to key a fram to move the hole hanging things, I need to select the main control!! OK, so cope with the problem that I just key step by step with the tutorial video (on YouTube) and finish my animation.
This is my Pendulum animation for week 2. also In the week3 class feedback: George said your pendulum should be fixed to more softer, but its original is not bad.
For Ting’s homework
This week2, we need to use the Jiucybox falling motion to perform the difference box’s weight. Also this is new change let me face with difference problem in maya, like how to copy a modle with their modle.
While working on the falling animation, I kept getting stuck on different frames. One box has three controllers, I often picked the wrong one in randomly, or picked a different one every time, which made the box separate or suddenly jump to another place in the next frame.
But this week, I learned how to replace and copy the reference!(from Ting and Marianna) which is very important in my animation life! I also noticed that juice boxes with different weights( empty / full/ half full) fall completely differently, because of the centre of gravity.
In this week, I am quite familiar with model golden post making in Maya. And I am very grateful for my good friend Chichi’s help that I’ve mastered the skill of using the camera and the locator’s function, and how to use them like set the key in the first frame and turning to the final frame set the 360 degree key.
So, I pick the character Akaza, who is from Demon Slayer Infinity Castle. His classic post.（ Video 3)
