In this Maya tutorial we discover the process of creating smears using traditional concepts on a CG animation.
We will start the project with a blocked animation. Then, we will begin talking about dynamic poses, line of action and silhouette, but also leading edge and how we build smear frames. Throughout the training we will spline the animation, cover hot keys to speed up your workflow, and talk a bit about the graph editor. We then leap into creating duplicate frames and smear frames similar to those created by 2D animators. Read more…

In this CINEMA 4D training we will learn how to use CINEMA 4D’s animation tools to create a convincing run cycle.
We’ll start by taking a look at our rig and figuring out a rotation order that would work best for our needs. We’ll then jump right in an start blocking in the run: adding extremes and breakdowns. Once this step is finished, we’ll begin polishing the animation, which includes refining arcs, achieving realistic weight, as well as solidifying each pose. We’ll also learn how to mirror animation to work faster, as well as how to translate the run forward. Read more…
