The Art of Animation:Master
Exercise 1: You're the Director
------------------------------------
An introduction to the Animation Master interface and basic navigation in a Choreography. Approximate time to complete: 20 Minutes
Example from Exercise 1 by Dan Roberts
Break out The Art of Animation Master manual and turn to page 15. Take a nice look at the picture on page 14 by Den Beauvais and realize you are now on your way to mastering the art of animation. Each exercise video can be either viewed online or downloaded as well:
Download Exercise 1 Zip ( 6.34MB)
It may be useful to watch the video first and then read along as you complete the exercise.
Workflow
While Exercise 1 is primarily an exercise in familiarity with the A:M User interface don't run through this exercise too quickly... there is a lot you can miss!
For further exploration keep the following questions in mind as you work through Exercise 1:
What is the function of a Library?
What is a Pose?
How do Libraries and Poses relate to the concept of a Talent Pool?
Shortcut Keys
At the end of Excercise 1 there is an introduction to A:M Keyboard Shortcuts. These keys can prove to be VERY useful so keep them handy.
Z - Zoom
Shift Z - Zoom fit
M - Move
T - Turn
7 - Default Render
8 - Wireframe Render
9 - Shaded Wireframe render

4 - Left View
5 - Top View
6 - Right View
