Here is a really cool, very useful tutorial for any CG animator out there from Kyle Balda’s 3D Animation Masterclass: Dialog Acting Tutorial. The tutorial appeared in the June 2009 issue of 3D World Magazine. This ten minute clip covers highlights from the 20 hours of video capture in 3DWorld to show one possible workflow of approaching 3D Character Animation with multiple characters. Too Good!
Animation Reference
Smears, Multiples … Animation Gimmicks!
SMEARS, one of the spiciest and most important ingredient for cartoon animation. Great resource for Smear, Multiple frames from all kind of animation! Blog was created by Micael J. Ruocco.
Bodies In Motion “Body Mechanics”
Really great reference library by Scott Eaton, cataloging “Body in Motion” in a detailed frame by frame key poses! “The goal of the shoots, and the library, is to capture high-quality dynamic reference of the figure in motion, inspired by Eadweard Muybridge.” as posted by Scott in his webpage. I think this is a really wonderful source of very useful reference materials for all artist alike 🙂
