Looking for Butter Smooth

[Original videos have been removed - "better" can be seen in Week 11]

Class 2 - Week 10: I continued working on getting it smoother as well as revised the animation according to student and mentor feedback.

Class 2 - Week 9: I reblocked the animation and did the first pass of smoothing. I need it to be smooth as butter.

These animations have been taken down because the final is much better.

Flippin!

[Original video has been removed - "better" can be seen in Week 11]

Class 2 - Week 8: Stewie has arms now. They're having us animate more and more complicated rigs as we progress forward in the quarter.

For motivation, I chose to have Stewie do a backflip off of a winner's podium in his excitement.

Wax on, wax off . . . I need to polish more



Class 2 - Week 7: This is the final. I need to polish it more. The run is too fast and he bobs back and forth.

Below is the planning for the third and final assignment for this quarter. This assignment I'm going to have Stewie with arms do a backflip.

Box jumping

[Original video has been removed - "better" can be seen in Week 7]

Class 2 - Week 5: This week I blocked Stewie jumping a box (in this case a bridge). For interest sake, I had fun with Stewie's entrance and his motivation to jump up and off the box (bridge).
