Animation - Charlie Chaplin final keys and poses
Below is a video showing the extremes, in betweens and breakdown poses I have created in order to make the Charlie Chaplin scene for Moom:
Animation - Charlie Chaplin Dope Sheet
The dope sheets below have been used, along with the reference video (provided by Alan) to decide where the extreme, in between and breakdown poses are to help when animating:
Maya - Weight lifting - Making the animation fluid
Alan show us how to ensure that the animation was fluid by teaching us how to use spline. Instead of the animation being in stepped and moving as tho it was paused between each frame, spline enabled the Moom character to understand that it can move fluidly between poses. This was completed by right clicking the timeline, going up to the 'Tangents' section and then clicking on 'Spline' which is shown at the top. This then resulted in my final play blast.
Maya - Weight Lifting - Cleaning up in graph editor
In order to make our animations seem more life like and fluid, Alan showed us how to make it so that the graphs were correct and straightened.
