Working?

Here's some self motivational speech for myself: work smarter NOT harder. It could really speed up my workflow! Nice.

Constraints

I finally tackled on constraints. I learned today however not to the level of explaining it in this blog. I still need to make it my own. Hope to write to you soon!

Expressions with the Graph Editor

 So, this is a quicky! Did you know you can offset the curve just by using an expression like +=2 in the graph editor. I think this is very useful and needs to be mentioned more in the future!

Animating with reference

 Okay time to animate and get real... but along comes the technical problems! Ugh.. hate when that happens. You see today I ran into some minor problem that could've been ignored but no I went full in and tried to fix it thus wasting more time to do it. The point is, animation is hard and very time consuming...

I know how important it is to use reference in my animation but I had to remind myself how important it is to study and learn from references rather than just rotoscope it. And this is why I'm have major issues. I'll have to use my head to understand body mechanics. Will I make it through??

Setting it straight

 I've been fascinated in animation. But the more I try to learn I find it more difficult and daunting. I just wanted to start blogging regularly to record myself on my wonderful yet huge task of mastering the art of animation. So if you like, come along with me in this journey.

 I will be writing about what I learned and share some of my knowledge with you guys! It's never too late to learn and be good at it.
