Great tutorial. I also really like the cheat sheet. I wish I had it months ago when i switched from a VFX house (which i worked at for almost a decade) to a cartoony project at another studio. One thing id like to elaborate on, if it helps anyone, is the concept of Major and Minor pose changes. Major pose changes are BIG and usually happen on emotional beats (i e the character goes from happy to sad, or thinking to realizing). You should not have too many Major poses changes or you wont give your animation any time to breathe. A formula i loosely follow is a major pose change around every 30ish frames but again its more important to hit the emotional beats of a shot than having a major pose change exactly every 30 frames. I like to break down my shots like I would if I was drawing comic panels. I use Major poses to tell the story (these would be the panels in a comic) Minor poses to keep the rythm and flow of a shot. Major poses change should be completely different than your previous and again the focus is to tell the story of the scene, minor changes help us feel the rythm of the dialogue etc. You can also use keep alive which is even less movement than a minor pose change to add a bit more texture to a shot (ie eye darts, small head movements etc) good luck everyone and hope this helped!

This is by far the best workflow ive come across thats made me feel like I'm getting somewhere with animation. However, the biggest thing I struggle with is the timing which im not sure is massively covered here. Do you have any tips for getting the timing right. It seems like you're constantly changing the timing of your golden poses in this workflow example?

Great video thank you! When you start blocking in stepped, do you put poses every 10 frames at start please? Or doesn’t it matter? I have seen people do it every 3 frames/5 frames/20 frames then once the overall poses are complete they start moving frames closer together. Is this the normal workflow please? Everyone seems to do things slightly different.

Great video! sorry if this is a dumb question but should arcs only be implemented on breakdown keys? or should they also be on key pose frames if needed? Thank you :)

Once you start addingg breakdowns + eases you can touch the keys to help make your spacing and arcs work. There's no need to avoid touching them :)

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation of your workflow! :) When planning out your shots, do you tend to create thumbnails for the keyposes first, or do you work out your keyposes directly in Maya?

is there a reason you are using the tweenmachine u linked vs the one u have from animbot and why youre tracking the gizmo instead of using animbots motionpath? New to animation just trying to understand
@ChesterSampson
@ChesterSampson Ай бұрын
1) No practical reason I just wanted to use classic tween machine as it's a free tool anyone could get whilst animbot is a bit expensive. 2) Motionpaths are slow and buggy, I think it's better to train your eye to track your spacing. hope that helps :)

@ChesterSampson

I do animate primarily in camera view but I suggest making sure your main held poses are balenced in all perspectives so you know you are working between solid poses when doing your blocking plus pass

Hey chestor. No one talks about ik vs fk chest. When to use which one. Could you please explain it a bit to me Or probably a dedicated video. Not much information is available on internet about this.
@alexandercuenin
@alexandercuenin 8 ай бұрын
Personally I always prefer FK spines since they preserve anatomical accuracy. The few times I’ve used IK spine is when the rig does not have a reverse FK spine, for example when the character swings like a monkey with their arms. So just be aware of what you are doing in your shot, are they doing complex motions like swinging? Then check to see if the rig has a reverse FK spine. If not, then use IK. If you aren’t doing any complex movements like that, just stick with an FK spine!

Yep! For games you just need to be make sure to animate with every angle in mind. In film all the audience gets to see is what the camera does. But in games (unless the game has a locked camera) the Audience can view the animation from all angles.
