Yesterday at the 2d to 3d training ...I did a very short session on body mechanics... although the session was termed as body mechanics...the really subject about the energy of a character and how to identify the energy , how energy is built up and released ..so wanting to stay true to the subject title , I found this at Animation Mentors new letter which I thought was worth mentioning ..so please see BODY MECHANICS(click here) under TIP on the menu bar .Enjoy!

While I was kinda browsing around I chanced to hit up a article , I thought it might be interesting to read , It gives us a bit of info sometimes we all forget .. and you or I am no exception to it also and we come across this at least once if not many in our life time at the studio ... At times its not just the animation poses that you set so well and have the timing of the action thats spot on or even if your acting is the finest ... at times its something more than all this ..its something that will clear your mind to get all the above mentioned done ... I have extracted this from animation mentor and posted this on the snippets page CLICK HERE to read the full article from there ...or just choose from the menu bar by clicking SNIPPETS

My Green tea at 3 am : left pic :-)

Good morning !!!!....Hmm that wud be a very early good morning ..its 3 in the morning!!,..sitting at my desk at home thinking about the 2d to 3d trainees back at the studio ..and their topic CONSTRAINS ( Maya 3d software) ...many of us coming from a 3d background might me able to get a hand on it but there are many who can't , asking them the go through the Maya help files .. well thats even worse ...yeah I agree there are some who can grasp but on asking many artist , the feed back I got was .. May docs dont too well in giving explanations ( well to an extent yes ! ).. I guess the reason being as one Animator put it ...Cherry said " its written by the developer and not probably an artist " Like our Rigger Stani said " the amount of effort and time they spend in making the software user friendly ..they have not done so with the help files "...keeping all this in mind I thought might be helpful if we kinda broke things down a bit to more simpler terms and very simple explanation ..well at least try to ..so I thought at the TIPS page start with constrains as that seem to the need at the hour for em 2d "convertees"....( yeah I know thats not even a word !!!) ..I need a few days to break down stuff ..this is not a crash course but a very slow and exploring kinda ..well explanation ..or lets just call it discussion ...ok so what do I need ,...Hmmm lets see ..I need a capture software and a head set with a mic .. which I dont have...so planning to get one and after the we will start on this CONSTRAINING TOPIC CONSTRAINTS !!!! :-) see ya then :-)
