Week 2

Our schedule for Wednesday's class was to learn about non-linear animation. We learned about using clips in Maya to effectively animate whilst saving time.

This animation was the end result of Wednesday's class. Having the character sway a bit, scratch themselves and look at their watch were effective ways to depict someone as being "idle."

This was a short animation we had to do of a ball bouncing slowly, gradually getting faster and then slowing down again.

On Thursday class, there were presentations on people's roles for the major roles. I decided that I should get more involved in the modeling and texturing departments since modeling it's my specialisation. The lighting and rendering departments were short and needed people. I was considering getting more involved in those departments but I wanted to keep myself open to other projects.
