Posing in Maya



But anyway as Maya has been for me i find it quite natural and easy to mess around with. Johnny came in on us working on it after lecture with a foundation studend i regret not making more of effort to make her feel welcomed and i should be making more of an effort to get to knwo the other years.


Posing on Maya and in stop mo looks pretty easy, kind of just like playing with a toy. I didn't intend on doing anything after lecture but Adam being the beautiful man he is , convinced me to stay and get a bit of work done. Obviously me being me i decided to do the more difficult poses first and it was going great until one pose that defeated me and i gave up on the rest. Bucket-kids legs are just fucking stupid and he cant really kneel so that angered me greatly.

 Maya seems pretty natural so far and i banged out the other pose with ease, definitely because i didn't have to piss around with the legs. Johnny recommendation of always putting bucket-kid back to neutral before starting a new pose had me quickly familiarize myself with he controls and when i came back a second time i felt like i had been using bucket kids for a while.

Pendulum - Stop mo

First off I have to start by staying this was definitely the most painful day I've experienced. The unforgiving nature of stop motion angers me to a level I can't understand. I will learn to love this as I can see the benefits and skills it teaches, a real life practical application of timing and spacing. Joe and Johnny always say don't start an animation without planning so I've been strictly abiding by those rules, which tends to mean I spend a good amount of time planning before I even enter the stop motion room.  This being my second pendulum animation, I decided it would be best this time to have an actual video reference which was a crude video of a pen swinging from some headphones, I was in a public space so it was a bit embarrassing to record. From the video what I learned was how the pendulum comes to a stop, the swings a short obviously but they are incredibly slow, and moving in other directions rather than just left to right.  I did a bar she

Using indesign

Another program I'm going to haven't to get to grips using. I don't know why most of the features are so different to Photoshop where I'm sure it would be easy enough to do the same thing. But alas we have been told to learn this program. Johnny showed me a way to get the master pages numbered, but for some reason it wasn't working for me. I guess i must of done something wrong but i couldn't figure it out even after an extreme google search. So i did the next best thing and asked Kira how to do it and she showed me a different method but it work fine and i think it was easier to remember.  so her method was to use the rectangular frame tool  then use the text tool inside that frame right click and place a special character in for the current page number. It did exactly what johnny had showed me.  these are some inspirational magazine articles i found that i would like my final design to look like.

Perspective 1

Honestly I cant understand how I've become so bad at perspective. Maybe it's I used to do from a full technical way and I never really did it free hand. But even still I'm shock how hard i found it and it looks so shit I think it's kind of good in a way. Finding my weakness and strengthening them will only help me as an artist. Need to do further research either by ready books or watching YouTube videos and practice, practice and more practice. I hated doing the floor plan. Working out the measurements and scale did my head in. I'm pretty good at this, better than perspective anyway but I know 100% this isn't what I want to do.
