Description
Learn efficient 3D animation workflows by delivering a professional looking, anime inspired, stylized female run animation in Autodesk Maya.
I always wanted to study one of those cute female runs from animes. It's tough to match the 2D pencil approach, in my opinion (and also animation made on twos has its own particular charme), but let's see how to get as close as we can to it in 3D!
Together we will go through the whole process, from analyzing references and setting the project in Maya, to the delivery of the polished animation.
This course is designed for beginner animators who understand the basics of the workflow but struggle to give their animation that level of quality and believability typical of professional products.
At the end of this course you will be able to confidently animate a stylized run, interpret reference footage for animation, and adopt the same techniques professionals employ to produce industry standard animations.
You will learn about:
Working with video references
Identifying and designing the key poses of a run
Troubleshooting posing
Mirroring poses using Red Studio 9
Setting up priorities for splining
Animation splining and polishing workflows
The course will employ industry standard software Autodesk Maya, but the same workflows can be applied to any 3D package.
