Category: 1.2 animation in maya

The foundation of animation is body mechanics, and a good animation is not possible without an understanding of body mechanics and movement.

I took a video reference of a frustrated sit down

In the first stage, I did not properly deal with the relationship between the ankle and the front of the foot leading to the phenomenon of sliding. After class, I studied the binding and found the right way to handle the sliding.

Throughout the cycle I found that there were still some problems with the movement of my knee

There are three key postures in the walking cycle.Key poses: In a walk these would be your contact poses.Breakdowns: The passing position between your key poses.Extremes: These are the highest and lowest points of the walk.

I followed the teaching video and keyframe to make the blocking of the walking animation

a balanced pose

Add displacement and rotation to the tail animation to make the S-shaped curve of the tail smoother and look more natural

The tail animation has been optimised for blocking.

Keep working on my technique. I’d like to make a more complex tail animation.

Observing the shaking of a squirrel’s tail helps to understand the patterns of tail movement

I animated the tail based on reference and laws

Learn the twelve principles of animation and use one of these principles to follow the animation of a pendulum.

The use of following overlaps quickly makes a pendulum movement the difficulty is the wobble at the end of the pendulum and when it is about to stop

I made an animation of a ball falling from a height and then bouncing up and based on a couple of youtube videos I drew the trajectory of the ball and analyzed the physics of it through careful observation.
