Okay, so long story short, I think I'm making my animation worse. I had to scrap a lot of what I had and start from scratch to fix the arcs. I've started with the cog, using the tracing sheets to try and get it working correctly, but I haven't gotten a chance to work with the shoulders, hands, torso, and feet.

That being said, I think I'm making it worse. I tried smoothing out graph editor stuff, but I think I only started fixing an arc that will do me no good. Any harsh comments will be taken under advisement.

Justin Llamas - 5/6 room update

Hey guys.  This is Justin Llamas.  I just tried out the new room that Kevin put on the server with the new props/toys.  A lot of the toys have wayyyy too high of a poly-count.  Just this still image took me a VERY LONG time to render out...  I'm not sure if hiding/deleting some of the toys hidden from my camera might make it render faster?  Just a heads up.  But it's looking quite nicely.  The room isn't complete though.

Hey everyone, I have been having a few issues with referencing. Ill save them for class, but as anyone else been having trouble with animating referenced scenes? I cant animate the door, well fix the door animation. And unless I reference the character every time I open it 11's eyelids explode, also leaving a blank lifeless 11 clone that dissapear once I reopen the scene. But here is a playblast from before she blew up.

Kathy McNeal- ATTIC

I've had a couple of bumps on the road as I try to remember some of my modeling lessons, but here's a basic layout of the attic.

I plan to dirty it up with some cardboard boxes which hopefully I can find a model or make a model of that look authentic enough. I have the rotating entrance from below so that it will fall open from one side, and I am working on the window. The images with the edge loops show where I plan to cut out space for the window to insert.

I also want to place a yellow light from below where her room is, and a blue light through the window from the "moon." It obviously still needs work, but here's at least a start.

HEY GUYS, HERE IS SOME VISUAL DEVELOPMENT WORK I DID FOR THE LITTLE GIRL'S ROOM. I WAS MINDFUL OF THE LAND MARK QUES FROM THE CLASS'S STORY BOARDS, AND SPATIAL NEEDS FOR THE ACTIONS THEY ARE BEING PERFORMED IN THIS SPACE. I ALSO TRIED TO INCLUDE SPACE/ROCKET SHIP STUFF THROUGHOUT THE ROOM SO THAT THROUGHOUT THE SHORT WE ARE MAKING, THE IDEA OF ROCKET TRAVEL IS BEING SET UP AND WON'T BE SUCH AN ABRUPT, OUT OF LEFT FIELD ENDING. 

PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS VIS-DEV. IT BY NO MEANS WILL ALL GO INTO THE FINAL FILM, AND WILL ALSO PROBABLY NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I SIMPLY WANTED TO CAPTURE A SENSE OF A LIVED IN SPACE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT WORK. HENCE THE LAYERED POSTERS, TONS OF STUFFED ANIMALS, ETC. ALL TO HELP/BETTER UNDERSTAND WHO ARE CHARACTER IS, AND HOW IS THAT REFLECTED IN HER SPACE. 

 HERE I WANTED TO SHOW WHAT EACH WALL WOULD CONTAIN. MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THESE OBJECTS CAN BE MADE UP WITH BASIC GEOMETRY, AND CAN BE DUPLICATED TO HELP CLUTTER UP THE SPACE.

T

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF THESE OBJECTS. SUCH AS THE DRESSER. (PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT HAVE TO INCLUDE ALL OF THESE OBJECTS. THESE ARE JUST IDEAS OF HOW THE SPACE MIGHT LOOK)

]CURRENTLY, I AM PLACING BASIC POLYGONAL OBJECTS IN A MAYA .MA FILE (TO SCALE WITH THE NEW ELEVEN) THAT WILL REPRESENT THIS SPACE I HAVE LAYED OUT. IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM.
LETS MAKE THIS PROJECT THE BEST IT CAN BE.

I just tried uploading this and it didn't work so I am trying again. Here are some toys i've collected so far, a rubic cube, a model plane, an elephant, and a horse. I was thinking we could line up a few horses all in a row, cause little girls do that sometimes.

Kathy McNeal Point

So this is where I am so far. I've played with the movement of the wrist and of the head, just to try and get some of that overlap feel. There's something weird going on with the eyes, as I'm sure many of you have noticed in your own files of the girl point by now, and I'm trying to figure out how best to resolve that issue. Other than that, the basic feel I want to get with this girl is that her finger goes straight up, pauses in (rather than slowly moving around everywhere), and swings back down, as if she's saying "That, is exactly.... correct!"

Thanks for any and all feed back you guys! :]

Alex Bishop Pointing

Jeanette

So- this is what I have so far, I know it needs work, and the playblast plays faster than it did with the time slider, so I  need to adjust for that as well. ALSO- The white of the guys eyes disappears when I playblast (but they are there when I look at it through the render window). So I don't know what's up with that. Help!

 Pointing exercise.  It needs something....

McNeal_ChangingMood

Hey all, Kathy McNeal here.

This is my blocking for the Changing Moods pose so far. I was sick on the first turn in date when we looked at them in class, so I didn't get any feedback on them. I know there are still some things to fix, then hands are in IK, and if anyone can tell me how to keep his left hand on the ground in the same position at he's standing up that would be a huge help.

Here is my first pass of the pointing exercise.

Leann Hill- March 17, 2012

Here is my first pass on the pointing librarian.  Let me know what you guys think! :)

Marshall 3-16 pass1

Hey all, I realize he snaps into the last pose kind of awkwardly, but i figured id post this so I could possibly get some feedback before I worked on it more tonight.  Any advice is much appreciated.

Baker 03/15/12

I changed the last pose a bit, and I am currently working on the right arm. But what else is looking off so far?

Baker Progress

Here is my current progress on my second animation, the sitting to standing animation.  I am still working on the Right hand, but any and all comments are appreciated, I will post my progress again tomorrow.

Lets get started!

The last blog was only connected to my email this one should work sot hat anyone can post, just show what you have, and dont be afraid to show your work.
