10 Nov 2022 - 02 Dec 2022 (Week 11 - Week 14) Zetie Binti Bahaman / 0351297 / BDCM Advanced Animation Final Project: Emotion Change Animation LECTURES All lectures have been completed.  INSTRUCTIONS FINAL PROJECT Using the same rig by Blender Studio, we are to produce an emotion change animation through blocking and polishing. Week 11-12 Self Recording of Acting Reference We are to start recording ourselves as a reference in the project. Mr Kamal says it is normal for people to think of us as crazy as an animator. I'm a very shy and introverted person, so the first step of this project took me forever to act out.

14 Oct 2022 - 3 Nov 2022 (Week 7 - Week 10) Zetie Binti Bahaman / 0351297 / BDCM Advanced Animation Project 2: Action Animation LECTURES Week 7 - Lecture 7 Week 8 No lectures due to Independent Learning Week. Week 9 - Lecture 9 Animation Workflow Select all keyframes Interpolation Constant (Staircase Icon) Adjust timing accordingly, don't copy exactly. It's up to us as animator to determine the timing and spacing. Whenever we change direction, it's another extreme. Get the hips right -  the legs will follow Blocking - Key the poses first Polishing - Simplify and refine the poses INSTRUCTIONS PROJECT 2 In this project, we are to produce a 3D action animation through blocking and polishing. Week 8 Progression I searched up reference videos on Youtube and came across this channel that features motion actors. Fig 1.0 Source for Video Reference  This is the video that I will use as a reference for my rigging. Fig 1.1 Video Reference Here's a slo-mo of the action that I am re...
