So today’s 3D Animation class was FUN! Every class we do gesture drawing where one person poses in front of the class and the rest quickly draws the gesture. Today we did the same exercise in a different way, we played side ball! Whenever sir saw a nice unique pose being showcased, sir asked that person to freeze for ten to fifteen seconds and we quickly used to sketch, by this we learned to draw more dynamic, instant, realistic and quirky pose gestures. Later we did stop motion of a bouncing ball(coin) where I learned a lot about the curve arcs and how gravity affects the arc and placement of the coin.
Post bouncing coin I went through the book called Animator’s survival kit by Richard Williams.
I ordered it instantly as this book has got everything, from basics of animation to advance level.We later used our light boxes to draw the bouncing ball cell animation using pose to pose. I found it quite interesting how back when I was in school I used to copy science diagram using the glass dining table is actually a method of animating. While doing the squash and stretch in bouncing ball I understood that how the squash appears to be is also what tells more about the balls volume, material, textures etc.
We later watched some amazing Disney Pixar films and then sir demonstrated the bouncing ball exercise in Maya, we haven’t got hands on with the exercise so will update about it in my next blog, although I’ve learnt few new things like splitting tangents and making clear arcs, etc. Stay tuned to get more updates on the new things that I learnt in Maya.
Following below is my stop motion video of the bouncing coin and ball exercise from today.
