    Nice breakdown, Sir! This has made me realize how many names we have for key poses: golden pose, story, pose, key pose, main key, etc. I'd love to hear your take and break down when you animate straight ahead in spline mode. What do you like to focus on in that workflow, etc.

    You can get a pretty good motion capture app for iPhone call TDPT....there us some online places that do body motion capture too... I know you're a professional why aren't you using any of these tools to speed up your workflow...they work pretty good...is this faster/better once you understand the mechanics and can do it efficiently?

  • @SOM_-sy6pv

    I think this is the best video you have made till now(at least for me)!
    great advices
    the tip you mentioned at this video was my problem for one year of animating , my animation always looked mechnical and stiff, the solution is first you should put enough information into your animation and not just bunch of key poses and letting the computer do the inbetweens , you should create enough break downs and second put the over laps or follow throughs into your poses on blocking pass not in spline or polish pass!
    these are the tips I recently learned and I'm going to try them out

  • @JSAbbott
    @JSAbbott 4 года назад +2

    I definitely vote for the breakdown with parkour!

  • @morbid1.
    @morbid1. 4 года назад +1

    My method is similar... first I do poses that will tell what is happening (mostly focusing on main body part), then with different colours I mark arms and legs, then another colour for smaller things. I don't go into spline until whole animation looks right. Other thing is i don't use step, but linear before splining.
    Also... resist urge to spline things too fast, you need to be patient.

    Very informative video! I think the jump and the link breakdowns really helped get a feel for both action and regular movements. I'm fairly new to animation and I use Daz 3D and Blender, not Maya, but I've been watching a lot of your videos and learning a lot that's helping me get a better grasp of how to make my stuff better as I come from a filmmaking background but love having full control of the world I'm creating through animation, and not needing millions of dollars to make what I want to do come true lol. I'm going to check out that other video you recommended that you did about acting and blocking earlier on in the video next. Thanks so much!

  • @amaruvt
    @amaruvt 3 месяца назад

    When you're animating in Maya, how do you differentiate between a golden pose/key frame vs a break down or inbetween, when all of the red lines look the same? Is it something you just "see" or you write down?

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  3 месяца назад +1

      Good question, you sort of just memorize where they are- but you can totally write them down too! Sometimes you may re-time where those keys are, so use a pencil so you can adjust :P But there is a "breakdown key" in Maya that makes a green line instead, but it does a few things differently. It's pretty uncommon to use. And animbot gives a 'keyframe color tint' function if you *do* want to try organizing things with more than just the red lines. Ultimately though, it's sort of just keeping mental track of where things are, and being able to go to that frame and look at the pose should be enough to go "oh yeah, that's an important pose" or "right, right. that's a breakdown"
