Gnomon workshop: Character Animation: Mechanics and Emotion

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] This
is Chris's second lecture in a series on character animation using
Maya. Using the same character rig as in Character Animation:
Fundamentals, Chris leads you down the twin paths of successful
character animation: mechanics and emotion. Conjoining believable motion
with believable acting is the holy grail of animation, and this duality
is demonstrated by animating the bouncing man. Chris covers appealing
poses, believable weight distribution, activation of limbs, use of
gesture to demonstrate attitude, the aura of the character and effective
utilization of the stage.Posing for a More Involved ShotContrast in Posing / fk/ik SwitchingThe Mechanics of JumpingBreaking Down the SceneFinaling the Shot
