Admin Rodney Posted January 12, 2006 Author Admin Share Posted January 12, 2006 I used Thom instead of knight because I'm too lazy to fix knight's leg in this action Madeline, I've been meaning to drop a link to the working Knight model in all the exercises that use him. I did this for Exercise 4 but haven't got it done for the other two. For those that are having problems with the Knight's knees see the link in Exercise 4 to grab the good one. I feel like I'm about a year behind on updating and getting certificates out but I'll catch up eventually. Great to see you adapt and overcome! Thanks for the patience. Best, Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have QT Pro 9 as well, nothing loads up. I'm not sure any program can compress from 1.56Mb to 1.56Kb, that's way out of the norm. Try to zip it and see if that works.

Redwings Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Here we go on to exercise two: A Chorus Line I noticed that the size if the mov file for the Chorus line is very large, are the settings discussed above to be used in order to reduce the final moive size?

Admin Rodney Posted March 11, 2006 Author Admin Share Posted March 11, 2006 I noticed that the size if the mov file for the Chorus line is very large, are the settings discussed above to be used in order to reduce the final moive size? Yes. If you don't have webspace to link your animations from you'll have to make the animation fit TAoA:M areas file attachment limitation; 2MB. Sometimes this might mean reducing quality. Sometimes this might mean rendering to a smaller resolution. Its up to each artist to find their own solutions but those posted here have been tested by others so they might work for you too.

mfortunato Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi All - It's time for Exercise 2! And while that poor knight has some serious knee problems, he's doing his best to keep up with shaggy and rabbit. Name: Michael Fortunato Exercises Completed: 2 - Chorus Line Date Completed: 3-13-06 Instructor: Again the lovely Art of Animation Master book... Remarks: So that's how I move the camera! AH HA! file location: http://www.geocities.com/m_fortunato/Ex2-C...elFortunato.avi (Hopefully you can access it from there. I have my own web space through Go Daddy but I haven't set up the DNS yet so I'm using the freebie space). This program is a heck of a lot of fun to use! Well, at least at this stage . - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo73 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wow. Your right, that Knight does have some serious knee problems. Having recently had knee surgery, I can feel his pain. I see you are doing the exercises using the book. There is also a thread that video tutorials of these exercises that you can download and watch too. Not all of them are represented.(Exercise 6 and 11 you have to use the book) But they are a great reference to use in conjunction with the book. Here's the link: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18121 Just scroll down and little bit and then click on whatever exercise your working on and you will see where you can download the video. Hope that helps Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfortunato Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wow. Your right, that Knight does have some serious knee problems. Having recently had knee surgery, I can feel his pain. I hope your knee surgery went well and everything is a-ok. . Now that I've started on exercise 4, I'm discovering some serious issues with the knights knees. Each keyframe I work on, I have to rotate and adjust his knees. It's as if the contraints are off on his rig or something (I didn't have this problem with the rabbit). But, it's good practice. It's helping me really learn how to correct mistakes as I go along. And boy have I been making plenty. I hope to have this animation completed by the weekend to upload. Did I mention how much fun this program is? And thank you for your quick feedback. It really helps us n00bs. This is a wonderful community. - Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo73 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 No problem. Glad to help. Yeah everything is ok with my knee for now. Physical therapy is helping, but at least it gives me time to work on my animations. Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tysono_71 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Name: Tyson Oswald Exercises Completed: 2 Chorus Line Date Completed: Sunday March 19, 2006 Instructor: The Art of Animation Master Remarks/Suggestions for Improvement: none, but I reserve the right to change my mind I found this one a bit difficult because I think of the Action, it appeard to not to function properly with the Knight because his feet would go below the stage at some points. I tried to adjust the feet but I got frusrated with the feet just jumping several pixels down as it it were locking to a grid point or something. I'm sure there is something I will learn later that will give me a clue as to what to do. Other then that the lesson was fine. I am having much fun the the third lesson.
