OK, so I've got my finished walk cycle here and I just want to talk about resenting this quickly. So you could probably just play blast this and people would get the gist. They don't production environment. It is useful to have a bunch of different orthographic views from front, side, back up, down, whatever you want. So I'll just go through a fun way of setting that up using just one rig and play blasting out one view. So I'm going to go to view, create camera from view, and this is going to give me my helpfully named perspective. Three. So by default when you create your camera it will have a focal length of 35. If you wanted to you could even increase that focal length to make things a bit flatter. But there's another way you can do things, which is by pressing alt on your keyboard, which then means that you get no perspective change when you move your camera around. Orthographic is the same as when you go in here and select these kind of orthographic views. Front side grab all of the geometry and I want to go to edit duplicate special option box. Instance the geometry, create a new group under world and create 3 copies. Hit alley. Now what this has done is created free instances of this Spiderman geometry so I can move that to where I would like it. Add some rotational values, add a three quarters view and we have multiple views in the same viewport with just one rig. It also works at scale so I'd like to come in and add just one more Spider-Man match the foot position over. A few frames set that to Infinity and linear should give you that. And now we just frame this U all different views of Spiderman here or a director or your mate to judge and get some feedback on and we can hit play blast on this. And just like that we've got a lovely presentation of our cycle. We've just one rig in one scene, 1 camera, no compositing to do and yeah.

I made this animation is entirely in Framer. No code. No 3D animation software. No complex Rive or Lottie timelines. Should I publish it so you can remix it? #framer #websitedesigner #productdesigner #animation #motiondesign

https://lnkd.in/gYkCSw9X Hey everyone! Just finished a short animation called Lissie, made in Blender. This project was a chance for me to explore how visuals can tell a story without words. I’d love to know what you think. #Animation #Blender #EnvironmentalStorytelling #ShortFilm

I've been working on a handy script for Maya that helps create breakdowns or inbetween poses between keyframes. You can pick which channels to interpolate right from the channel box and play around with an interactive slider to see the changes in real-time. Plus, it lets you anticipate and overshoot poses for that extra touch of realism or cartoony animation. Let me know what you think about this! #Animation #Maya #3DAnimation #AnimationTools #BreakdownPoses #InbetweenPoses #AnimatorsLife

Remember that short "Geri's Game" by Pixar Animation Studios? It’s a perfect example of an exercise recommended by JP Sans to level up your animation acting! The challenge? Animate the same rig - same colors, same clothes, etc - but make them feel like completely different characters. It’s a powerful way to push your acting skills and bring more personality into your animation! 🎨✨ Give it a try and see how much depth you can create with just subtle changes 🙌 #agoracommunity #agorastudio #pixar #animation #characteranimation #learnanimation #animationstudent #animationpractice #3danimator #acting #animationcommunity
