10:20ish Bird Bounce and Jump
We did an essential exercise with a simple ball. Looping, settling, squash & stretch and rotation. Hopefully your simple ball bounce has a good look and appeal. A few weeks back we created a little bird through the process of box modeling – do you have that? If not, I have one for you that you can use in Public Folders. Just make a copy and put on your desktop.
We’ll apply what we learned and use the workflow from the ball to create a happy animation.
10:30 Visitors to CAWD2 and for others Independent Modeling
If you are not working with students, I’d like you to model this swingset. You can do what I did or model something like it. The goal is to finish the swing set model as we are going to add to it. We’ll do a swing together – so don’t worry about that for now. Save your file as swingset.blend and keep in your Google Drive.
10:50 Break
11:00 English with Mx. Yopp
11:50 – 12:25 Little Bird
Picking up from where we left off from this morning – when we make our bird jump we can add more appeal to the character – we can add a deform modifier to give our character squash, stretch and drag. What’s drag…
Follow-through and overlapping action are usually associated with the animation method of “ drag”, which is the delaying of animated body parts (or accessories) in relation to the animation of the main body. What body parts should we delay?
We’ll perform this Overlapping action and follow through with our bird’s face.
After you finish the animation apply some finishing touches with some lights, staging and multiple birds.
Save the animation as BouncingBird_lastname.mp4 (60 -72frames) and place in the Google Drive Folder here. Dropbox.
