Animation Tip For posing.

Important Point I learn't Today.." Always rotate Fk spline joints of the body ( Chest, stomach and hips) together and get the pose as close as you can.Only after you can't get it any Better should you rotate the individual spine joints.This helps prevents the strange independent rib-cage Movement so common in beginning animator's Work."...I used to rotate independently wasted two hours correcting them once...at last had to delete the pose and re-pose them...Just learn't this point yesterday from How to cheat in maya..and found that I made that mistake in my blocking and found what happens when we try to breakdown that pose with this mistake...Makes me crazy..

Long-time no post...I am really lazy in posting...currently working on some shots...My bugs bunny shot really driving me Crazy. But took a break and started to create a small Diving shot for the 11 second Club Mini-challenge. So that i could get myself a break. Well back to the original Topic. I am thinking of also posting some Tips and Tricks that I am learning from Eager Beaver, Books etc...I got myself some book..."How to cheat in Maya 2012" and "What Every Body is Saying - Joe Navarro "..These are awesome book...If haven't got it get it...How to cheat in Maya consists of some special trips, tricks collected by animators for us...I will posting some Tips here In future as I learn them and Use them...And What Every Body is saying is a book by an Ex-FBI agent. He tells about the non-verbal action of people. How the body tells what actually the person is feeling feels. Almost every action our body does tell something. Our body always tell the truth even if lie. So bye for now. Catch you later….
