Well the character bones are done. It took 8 hours on friday but i managed to do it...I had planned on going into class but i wasnt paying attention to time and before i knew it it was 6pm.
I created a quicktime video of me trying out the arms moving but after i did this i somehow managed to move the left leg up and now it wont move back so i am going to spend some time later today trying to fix this. (Will upload the video once it lets me!).
I am also planning on getting through AD101 today or at least through most of it seeing as how if i had of been keeping up to date with it it would pretty much be done now!!
Weekly Plan:
Sunday - Update Blogs. Do some more work on Cinema 4d.
Monday to Thursday - I believe we are having a computer lessons to recap on weight painting and things so this week is just completeing teh walk cycle with the character. Out of class i will be working on all the written work that needs to be done.
Thursday - We are making our first year reel. This should be interesting because i think all my work is quite crap but hey ho just means next year i've got to produce something VERY good!!!
This year is all about learning and finding out which niche i am more interested in. I definitly enjoyed the first project we did (cut out) and i also enjoy the drawing of the characters.
Cinema 4d may become my friend once i get used to everything on it. It is a very annoying program, i know people say its never the program its the programmer but you really need to try out my computer. You will understand how annoying it is!
There is still lots to learn about this program so over the summer i plan on introducing my self to everything it has to offer. I feel i have learnt quite a bit on it so far but in a course you have deadlines and basically the time is used to get the projects done using the skills you have just been taught. I now have three months to get more knowledge and will be on my own time with out having deadlines on projects etc.
Character design is quite fun as well. The drawing of it i mean. Once you realise you actually have to make him into something real its a bit like oh...i think now when it comes to designing charcters i will have in mind all the work that goes into making it into somethign moving so i will try to keep it mple as this helps big time in actually getting things done.
With it being the last week i am thinking that i am still really glad i took this course. Best move i've made i think, seeing as how i have been wanting to do it since i was 5!! I may not be the best but thats what this profession is all about, trying to better yourself with each task given. I dont feel like i have progressed actually at all through out the year,but like mentioned the first year is about learning what the possibilities are. I have kind of just felt like i've been focusing too much on expirementing rather than coming up with my own style. Thats what the summer is for, coming up with ideas for future animations
Reet kids, time to get working on this work as there is only a week left!!!!
