Hey, Great work! I was thinking about using Animation Mentor, or go to the Art Institutes after highschool, I am in 9th grade and am persuing 3D animation. I already work with Blender 3D and was wondering if you could check out my channel and let me know if you think I would have a chance in the industry. Thanks.
I'm in malaysia now and animation fascinates me. i would love to be an animator after my a levels. is this recommended? or should i take another university?
@andoi9292 im not taking classes in AnimatorMentor, but what i saw of the work of the students is just amazing. I heard they dont learn anything special about any software. Just animation. They are great animators!
@bmino71 Really?! You mean like, Art Institute of Vancouver? VanArts? I was thinking of going there for animation after I get my degree in illustration...
Great work, I'm glad the reel got you a job! Also, I'm starting AM in a couple of weeks, and your video is yet another sign that it is going to be great! Thanks!!
I place a small stationary cube at the heel of left feet if im lifting my right feet, and make sure the left heel is not moving with respect to the cube so that I know that the foot is not sliding. Then I repeat the same process for the right heel.
I don't know what software you use but with Maya, you need to go in your translation curve (y, x or z depending on which direction you biped is going) and make the curve completely strain from the point where you foot touches the ground to the point where it leaves it. Hope I was clear =S. Sorry for my english I speak french =) Good luck
ditto....cannot imagine where someone can come up w/ that kind of cheddah. Unfortunately I am addicted to animation and will make the impossibly tough trek into the industry kicking and screaming
so your saying i could download the ones they use at animation club for free or do i need to pay wich i don't mind beacuse i really love thier rigs, the ones i use right now are from escape studios which i got while studying character animation.
good rigs scripts are everywhere. If you can bind them into a skin and weight paint well, you're good to go. My instructor had us use abAutoRig.mel script for rigging. You can google it. It's not very detailed and fine, but get's the basics covered.
I so agree with you on the university thing. I'm a senior art major at a university and about the only useful thing they've taught me is how to draw. They can't even critique animation for being blocked by the "oo neat" factor. Complete waste of federal loan money. I hope to start AM in January and can't wait. Great job!
great job i really love the expression of " come on" when the card house falls, i just think the table knock over can be exaggerated a lil bit more but that's just me :)
Nice reel. I noticed, however, that the ball he was pushing didn't appear to be rolling. If a ball were that heavy, and he were pushing that hard, it would roll upward. You should make the hands appear to be rolling the ball up the ramp. Other than that, great job. =D
love you Background music.. good job on the animation as well (Thumbs Up)

@mrgiloz the character itself is owned by animation mentor and is given to its students and grads.

I can relate with you regarding Universities and they're awful 3d-animation education. But I'm glad it worked out for you in the end.
