FK Spine

Okay so now somehow I turned on FK Spine handles and I cant find out how to turn it off. I don't know how that happened I didn't go out of my way to do that.

Zoom Issue

I am having an issue with the zoom feature. It will not reset and so my camera is off. I don't know how to fix it. Please advise. It fixes in the torn off panel but not in the live panel so playblasts are incorrect. My camera is locked.

Thank you

Splining tomorrow and Monday and maybe Sunday. Hopefully I can graph editor out the pops and glitches. Tell me what you think or forever hold your peace.

One step forward 7 back

I put in more over lap for the main character for the "Yes, its coffee time" section. Working on this for 6 hours and that's all I got accomplished... its sloooow goings for me. Still in stepped. Please continue with suggestions. I wanted to get all the prior suggestions accomplished, but my cushion and necessary placement changes took way longer than expected. Its the hands, I should have parented them to the counter top. Tomorrow that will be my goal. Critique away please!

Thanks guys!

Timing

I think I like my blocking for now. If you have suggestions I will be working on splining tomorrow and would love to hear them. But my real issue is timing. I think a lot is going on and wanted to see what you think I could move or cut, preferably with the Batista, but I am open to all suggestions.

Thank you

Grades - term 911

Here's a grade update for term 9 of 2011.  Remember that you can go to figure drawing and bring in your sketches to get extra credit in this class.  You may resubmit the walk cycle up until we do the performance eval.

Rigs Duplicating and Lambert 1 changed color

I have been working on my animation all day, navigated through some problems, but more are around every corner. I am saving my work every 5-8 commands, and saving iterations. I did make a mistake and try to morph my character in my animation scene...now, every iteration I go back to has duplicated rigs, sets and props; constraints are also broken, rendering all my work on my key poses (which I finally got to today, playing catch up). I am losing my mind but pressing forward. I hope this gets to you Joe before 8 am. I try to fix problem for the next half hour, if I do not yield positive results, I have no choice but to start my animation over. I will not sleep and hope to have a playblast with keys and break-downs in the box by 8 am. Thank for any and all help in this matter.

Perverse Blocking

Been catching up. Suggestions appreciated.

Rig Problems

Hey all, I am stumbling through these new rigs and trying learn their movement as I go. I grabbed the script from the outliner to create quick select sets to "select all" and after doing so, my rig is leaving the skin bind. Need to get a few hours of sleep before class, sorry I wont have as much done as I had hoped.

Still having some weird rendering problems. I put it in the late/resubmit and appeared to work with audio, I hope it works tomorrow. I tried to upload here and it had an error.

theater

did a little modeling for the theater tonight. Needs some more rim lighting but I will make more thoughtful adjustments when I ref the Morphies into the scene tomorrow. Good night all.

Progress From Tonight

I made a few changes to My character to make him stand out more and added holds and fixed a few spacing issues. Also, following the blog doesn't notify you. I was incorrect.
Thanks Guys!

Key Poses with some breakdowns

What I have done so far today. Lots of lag time which doesn't show up till playblast as we had been told and I will correct. I wanted to get opinions on my key poses. Can they be pushed more realistically? I have to also adjust the camera. Ill work a bit more on it and post that update too. Thanks All!

Walk Cycle Blocking

I know the hands and fingers need a bit more work, but I was wondering if anyone had input as far as the blocking stages go... Any critique is appreciated!
