This week’s session explores importing sound into Maya and then animating the model’s mouth. It is important to note that the sound format needs to be converted to WAV or AIFF at first. After imported audio successfully, you will see … Continue reading →

In addition to the 12 principles of animation, we also need to focus on the principles of Body Mechanics. Scientific knowledge of the basic principles of anatomy, body mechanics and physics is essential to creating a convincing performance. When performing … Continue reading →

By creating tracking in 3DE, we have been using the Trackpoint mode. When we come across a larger tracking point (like a distinct circle) that is easier to track on the screen, we need to use the [Marker] mode. [Ctrl+Left Click] … Continue reading →

Start learning new software – 3D Equalizer. We often use the [Basic] panel during our product processing. (Select 3DE interface after choosing the [Basic].) Overviews have F1(Overview Controls), F2(Manual Tracking Controls), F3(Distortion Grid Controls), F4(Autotracking Controls), F5(Lineup Controls), F6(3D Orientation … Continue reading →

Over this past week, I have produced a Stylised Walk. I chose to make the Stylised Walk in the Angry style. I can see model’s highest and lowest points of the character’s head in the reference picture. It is very … Continue reading →

Rigging（From my own experiences） What is a good rig? What is a bad rig? Rigging needs to skin the model with the created bones because the bones and the model are independent. Therefore, each point on the model should be … Continue reading →
