Robcat's Courses - (Class is Full - Thanks!)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Robcat has offered me a chance to do some learning. He has three courses to teach.

I would very much like to have others join in on this class and if your interested please post here to become involved. Once we have enough I will defer control to Robcat who will be doing the teaching.

 

The animation courses being offered are the following:

1 bouncing ball

2 broad jump

3 three emotions

 

On a side note, Rob if no one is interested I am still very interested in learning what you have to offer.

And to explain a bit further, this will be like an ultra-mini-micro basic character body mechanics class. I need a few guinea-animators to test the idea on and see how much benefit they get out of it.

 

I anticipate the first two lessons occupying about a week each and the third one maybe two.

That's two!!! :)

 

One thing that I think needs to be clarified is how will these mini-courses be conducted?

 

We'll interact on the forum. I'll make a tutorial that explains the assignment and how to do it. You'll do that assignment and then we'll look at them to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

 

rinse and repeat.

 

 

I am interested when my project is done

 

When will that be, Gene?

about a week

 

I think a week will work. That will be about how long I need to get ready.

 

So we have three test subjects!

 

Check back next Sunday, we'll start the first lesson.

This is going to be somewhat more involved than my usual screencam where I just record myself talking for 30 minutes. I'm going to woodshed it some more but I don't think we'll quite get to lift-off tomorrow.

 

Here's a preview

Stay tuned for further developments.

Rob,

 

When I manually scrub through the video the ball never touches the ground on the second bounce and actually rolls forward two frames before the upward motion. The ball also changes colors and loses opacity at the top of the second bounce. Otherwise I can't tell where you transitioned the real ball for the animated one. Really cool animation overall.

It's all real ball. I present it as an example of motion analysis that's part of the lesson.

 

Yes, it does seem to miss the ground, the camera isn't fast enough to catch the instant it is on the ground every time.

We're still trying to get through the first one! It started out as a three hour cruise...

 

If we do get it finished I'll reassess what works and what doesn't and maybe try it again at later date.
