I am trying to learn Animation:Master well enough to make my characters able to do as much or more as live actors in a movie.
Mid Term Goals
I have made 80 characters, 8 sets, and can make the characters walk and talk at a rudimentary level. I am trying to learn how to make the facial poses so that I can make my characters show all the expressions and more that KeeKat can show. I can make short talks like in the lesson, but when I try to make a five minute conversation, I find that the program does not seem to handle it. I need to know program limits. I want to make an airplane do aerobatics, but there seem to be restraints in the program that I must overcome. I need to know the constraints and how to disable them. I also need to know how to make propellers turn faster. Some seem to turn fast and others very slowly. I need to know how to control them. Precise control all around is something I need to work on.
Long Term Goals
I am trying to create an animated feature which has about 80 - 100 characters, 10 or 12 sets, conversations, song and dance numbers, etc.
