Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 1 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted October 1 I watched the webinar today. I presume they will post a recording later. Something that surprised me was him mentioning needing to work around "gimbal lock". Gimbal lock? They still have gimbal lock at Pixar? That sounds insane. I was also surprised that the "layout" he gets for a sequence is as animated as it is. Someone in Pixar is doing a lot of character animation that never is seen on screen.

I attended as well, I thought his technique was interesting but results in a lot of extra work, especially if you aren't already a decent 2D artist or animator. Still, very interesting webinar.

Still, very interesting webinar. For him, a facile drawer, it seems to be worthwhile, but still i was baffled when he said he went back to 2D to test eye directions. Are they not able to just move an eye target around like we do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not able to just move an eye target around like we do? Yeah it seems like that would be something that would be present in the software, but I guess not? Was still interesting to see a pro at work, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
