New Raf Anzovin CD: Animating with TSM2

[anzovin]

This week, we will begin shipping a new tutorial CD-ROM, "Animating with The Setup Machine 2".

 

http://www.rafhashvideotapes.com/anwitscd.html

 

The disc is hosted by Raf Anzovin and covers animation techniques using Anzovin Studio's automated rigging tool, The Setup Machine.

 

Raf covers the basics of the TSM process, then reveals secrets of such lesser-known TSM2 features as tail lag, squash and stretch, and the advanced hand. Then he moves into detailed demonstrations of animating various characters, including a four-armed ogre and an octopus.

 

The longest section of the CD is an example of animating a character from start to finish, utilizing stretchy spine and arms. You'll get a chance to look over Raf's shoulder as he animates an entire shot.

 

Topics covered: Introduction--Basic Rigging Process * Body Controls * Advanced Hand * Quad Leg * Insect Leg * Stackable Spines and Tail System * Animating a Four-armed Ogre * Animating an Octopus

 

Raf has not recorded a substantial new tutorial for A:M for several years. This disc captures his latest approaches to animation, covering areas not discussed in any other A:M-specific book or video tutorial.

 

For the launch of this disc, we are also offering sale prices on all our TSM and Weight Mover setup products for Animation:Master, plus a special price for our Training CDs Bundle which now includes Raf's new disc.

Sounds interesting. How many hours of video are on the CD, and what is the format (QuickTime, etc.)?

 

Thanks!

Hi Cindy,

 

The footage is Camtasia-grabbed 1024 x 768 QuickTime. There's about an hour and 15 minutes there at minimum 15 fps. We've also included some new TSM2 models, notably the crab model from "Duel."

 

Thanks,
