necessity.
Jason Lin: So today's class we're going to go over a little bit of animation certain things i've been noticing from the submissions so far, or people just asking for credits.
Jason Lin: When you are working with the characters in your animating try to avoid things looking mechanical and moving very in a linear fashion right or a direction what so whenever people are animating.
Jason Lin: What I often see is when you're doing a weight shift.
Jason Lin: You guys end up like just moving the upper torso in.
Jason Lin: very, very like straight linear directions so give me an example here what i'm seeing.
Jason Lin: So now, this not everybody is just basically what i've noticed i'm just going to push all this stuff out to the side.
Jason Lin: I can come.
Jason Lin: There ask a question so whole bunch and then we'll put let's start.
Jason Lin: There alright so i'm going to create two keys one is yes.
Jason Lin: In which do that that tween and what i'm seeing is just like what's that.
Jason Lin: What you'll do is you'll take the upper torso or from the pelvis up and you'll kind of like just tween.
Jason Lin: Eve.
Jason Lin: going from point A to Point B and that'll be part your weight shift of setting it up, but then what ends up happening is like you guys will take the legs.
Jason Lin: And this is crazy i'm like ooh and again it's not noticeable until I pointed out, and then you guys are like right.
Jason Lin: don't do that alright so.
Jason Lin: What we'll get is like.
Jason Lin: Something like this.
Jason Lin: And you will kind of like elongate her legs a bit.
Jason Lin: and basically if I take.
Jason Lin: This frame here and i'll just do a.
Jason Lin: super can get this to work.
Jason Lin: Right alright so using just the onion skin, like her limbs have grown and get inch basically because you just wait shifted and if you were to do this in basically.
Jason Lin: On your own in real life and try to.
Jason Lin: I do we should let me just let me just.
Jason Lin: get a balanced bit better so let's if we are to balance her out right and let's say you were to do something like this to get the balance working for example.
Jason Lin: Right, she is a grown an extra inch on her legs here.
Jason Lin: When really like her legs are going this long so when you go see a side by side comparison like.
Jason Lin: The.
Jason Lin: The hips the whole body is basically sitting on this plane, where it should technically be dipping down right So if you were to bend your knees your whole torso would drop.
Jason Lin: It gets us because it's how everything works everything's connected, but what i'm seeing in the posing in the animation is you guys are doing weight shifts like this and nothing's dipping down.
Jason Lin: So that means something's gotta grow, which is impossible right and you guys can't retract your limbs and joints be really cool if you could.
Jason Lin: play you can't like extending retract them like that so.
Jason Lin: Instead of.
Jason Lin: Just kind of pushing things aside and then posing around that like.
Jason Lin: When you are going to any sort of change in weight shifts.
Jason Lin: or any sort of bends with the leg.
Jason Lin: do keep in mind of the anatomy right.
Jason Lin: When you bend the legs.
Jason Lin: or from the ground up.
Jason Lin: But then also be thinking about how it's going to work.
Jason Lin: In reality, if you were to.
Jason Lin: bend your knees legs whatever and then.
Jason Lin: That would mean if you're doing a stance like this.
Jason Lin: Things would tilt naturally and part of it would dip down again because, again, the knee is bent right, but then you're not gonna lead like that, because that just looks awkward and flat, so you would counter tilt.
Jason Lin: Like so right and then try to balance it out.
Jason Lin: But even with that looks a little elongated so always refer whoops a smoky.
Jason Lin: Very so with this you're going to definitely figure out.
Jason Lin: The placement where you're going to drop or how far you gonna drop certain things and then kind of rework the pose properly.
Jason Lin: that's one thing I noticed um Another thing I noticed is when you guys go to animate.
Jason Lin: Just bring everything back.
Jason Lin: Alright, so.
Jason Lin: You guys will pose somebody guys would just kind of rotate the limbs, the body and so forth we're just cool right this isn't bad, but what you really want to do is push this little further and really add more attitude to the whole thing right so.
Jason Lin: you're going to want to really emphasize on tilts shoulders right how the neck, and like you're.
Jason Lin: One of these calls again the truck the truck the truck don't trapezius muscles that are being affected, plus the spine.
Jason Lin: The hips right the crotch lines and then how the legs, are going to stem off that rate, so you want to create late.
Jason Lin: Not only a nice clean graphic look but you're also going to be thinking about the anatomy and how to push those things right so you're you go through a whole semester, if not many semesters.
Jason Lin: learning about the pelvis the torso and all those other things it's not so much the importance of those landmarks like the names of them, but where they are placed in how you're going to use them in your favor when you're ever you're posing.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: Again, the names of them don't matter you can call them billy Bob Joe Martin whatever hey but as long as you know, where those landmarks are that's what you're going to use and create them so like.
Jason Lin: You have the pockets, you have the zipper and you have.
Jason Lin: Other parts where things kind of JET out on the hip so what you would be studying with that would be like was it the.
Jason Lin: gotta have you know things myself, but the purest sense of this which is your cross line right where it should be your.
Jason Lin: Was it le X spinal something CREST rather and those are the parts, where you really get out and those are the parts that you want to wear on Eve there'll be the pockets right.
Jason Lin: And then the general shape of it, which is usually a box of some sort right and you're going to use those in really push those singles for the torso where.
Jason Lin: Like I purposely gave her have been a crop top but the whole reason for that is, you have a landmark where you will be pinpointing where that like 10th.
Jason Lin: Ninth and 10th rib is, and that is going to help with your tilts you're going to be looking for that.
Jason Lin: Some cervical vertebrae, which is that little part the little back in your neck, which is also going to line up with a pit.
Jason Lin: Of where your sternum starts everything and those and that's where the V neck, and where this starts right with those vector points right or the former handles so you're going to be using all these things to really help create form.
Jason Lin: And then, on top of that, once you have like your attitude poses work, though it's the animation part of it, where i'm also noticing a lot of stuff looking.
Jason Lin: mechanical so when you go to enemy so let's say you're going to go from this pose to this pose where she's turning your head and kind of doing a week shift.
Jason Lin: Right, most of you guys will do something like this.
Jason Lin: hold on guys.
Jason Lin: But I will play on loop, and you guys can watch that but what do you need.
This box.
Jason Lin: sorry about that so yeah so what you're seeing here is just like it's a badge and they try to emulate what you guys all do but whoops don't do that.
Jason Lin: But even this still has but anyways was trying Emily is basically you guys doing these really mechanical rotations and turns and the timing is fairly like even in flat.
Jason Lin: So, instead of just kind of animating the head just turning in the body just moving with it and creating these things that we call or what we refer to as twinning.
Jason Lin: you're gonna want to try and break it up in add a little bit more to it like your arcs.
Jason Lin: So let's let's redo this and see how we can go about doing it, so one of things are going to do is.
Jason Lin: going to take a two keys.
Jason Lin: you're going to between them and so at least get the something stuff working here.
Jason Lin: Are you breaking.
Jason Lin: force it broke.
Jason Lin: Your why you are breaking.
Jason Lin: body.
Jason Lin: there's a bit of a dip in there, naturally, which is.
Jason Lin: A happy mistake it was supposed to do that, but yeah, the idea is you're going to want to work with arcs right ignore the head kind of flattening out and then expanding again we're going to fix that.
Jason Lin: And don't get so caught up with the head collapsing and then popping again, I know, like guys like to really worry about that, while you're tweeting again don't think of this as 3D.
Jason Lin: And, excuse me, the main kind of fault or hiccup people tend to focus on because it's like oh it's not really smoothly tweeting and everything's popping and stuff.
Jason Lin: But as long as a good chunk of it come on.
Jason Lin: don't you want to move for me.
Jason Lin: Being a pain.
Jason Lin: At the moment.
Jason Lin: All right, let me close this something's not working.
Jason Lin: harmony.
Jason Lin: that's better alright, so can see the tween see things sort of working, but not work at the same time, because the head.
Jason Lin: don't get caught up on the head because we're going to fix that the main thing you're going to want to do, and again this wasn't supposed to naturally do like a sweet long Arc.
Jason Lin: But we're going to emphasize we're going to exaggerate this even more, and what I usually do is my same kind of formulaic way of dealing with eases.
Jason Lin: grab the second or third frame from the auto tween quick holding drag.
Jason Lin: do the same thing on the side.
Jason Lin: What you want to do is drag about like four or five frames out.
Jason Lin: And you're going to want to create basically eases in and he's out for that now it's kind of.
Jason Lin: Really snapping in between here, so we can take that and expand on it by just adding a few more frames in between right, and all I did was I just clicked on the plus sign here and just push this out a couple frames.
Jason Lin: When you play it out it's going to be a lot smoother right.
Jason Lin: next thing you're going to do is from that you're going to work out an Arc and what you want to do is perform or create and it's again doesn't matter if it's a simple movement or.
Jason Lin: Really complicated one, but you want sort of a dip going in and out.
Jason Lin: And what's going to dictate that is basically generally the major landmarks are the major body parts which is your hips your shoulders or HR stash torso head Those are the things that's really going to drive this.
Jason Lin: and dictate this dip.
Jason Lin: Right.
Jason Lin: And it's okay to like over exaggerate a little bit because you can always use the auto twin to help.
Jason Lin: soften it up, so this is what you want to do it basically says how the general flow.
Jason Lin: So, now that we actually physically depth part of that whole torso up right well the LACE need to go somewhere so obviously they can't like basically break through the ground plane.
Jason Lin: which we could that'd be kind of cool but no, you really want to then add beds right to kind of counter that.
Jason Lin: Or do you start adding these Benson.
Jason Lin: crash right.
Jason Lin: Now now starting to feel and look more believable and all I did was just add only really doing is just I have for cheese going great don't have that many things happening i'm just working out these four keys.
Jason Lin: So i'm going to add more event here.
Jason Lin: whoops oh.
Jason Lin: So when you're doing this right you're actually working with the hierarchy.
Jason Lin: Again, when things are bending you're also gonna be thinking about the joints and also the muscles.
Jason Lin: you're gonna take some liberties and.
Jason Lin: Like quads.
Jason Lin: As they're going to flex a bit.
Jason Lin: Right, so this right now what i'm adding is technically your squash and stretch.
Jason Lin: So if I play this again, you can watch it.
Jason Lin: All you do is just work with the I want the entire torso him just start bending these legs a bit.
Jason Lin: And again don't worry if it's the fucking little weird in over exaggerate because i'ma show you how to wait like ways to really definitely things down.
Jason Lin: Okay, so we have a bit of our squash in our stretch going on here.
Jason Lin: and take that stuff are there, a bit later, but right now we don't get the general movement.
Jason Lin: When we're doing that we're also going to be thinking about the drag.
Jason Lin: So the overlapping action and follow through.
Jason Lin: So what are we going to lead with And what are we going to have things basically follow through with three so.
Jason Lin: This is where you start thinking about the characters personality and what they're going to lead with with their head the shoulders right the chest their hips what is it right you're going to physically pick.
Jason Lin: A specific like major body part to lead with somebody use the head because again.
Jason Lin: She has a really large head, one of the things that you can't like miss so we're going to lead with ahead and have the head turn.
Jason Lin: and face the direction we want before she starts turning the rest of her body so then everything else will basically follow with that.
Jason Lin: So we're going to lead and then all the other parts, like the shoulders to the color down to her hips that will start to slowly turn as he's turning her head.
Jason Lin: And this will give it more of an organic feel in a less robotic rotation and also depending on how you turn the head will also play a narrative about this type of character you're animating.
Jason Lin: Like I said don't worry about the head breaking because we're going to then now fix that.
Jason Lin: So you can do one two things you could use the master controller, or you could find yourself.
Jason Lin: Now I usually use the master controller, so that it gives me a good starting point right.
Jason Lin: And again see how the jaws broken, and this will happen, all you gotta do is click on the job.
Jason Lin: Go to drawing subs switch over to the front, like the Fr one they'll fix it and then, when you go to us again everything looks fine so just be aware that it's one of those fun glitches of using a master controller.
Jason Lin: But when guys are doing turns head turns.
Jason Lin: don't just turn the head in.
Jason Lin: Like the very linear turn right give it a bit of a dip dip will help with the weight, the drag and it'll just look more organic now again.
Jason Lin: We don't normally do that in real life, imagine if they turn your head you're doing constant dipping it doesn't look great in real life, but when it comes to animated characters it looks it feels right right because it wait.
Jason Lin: So what we're doing is where we're not completely like copying life, but we will imitate a bit and exaggerate on certain things.
Jason Lin: So for leading with the head.
Jason Lin: Right.
Jason Lin: You may also want to be thinking about either direction, in fact, you should be think I direction great so we're going to leave the head we're also going to have the eyes.
Jason Lin: move a little further, so we actually see where we're going and again it gives the audience.
Jason Lin: and basically a narrative of okay there's something happening over on screen right and that's why she's turning.
Jason Lin: like this.
Jason Lin: Are you gonna want to lower the features a bit, which also, in turn, now I use the mascot really to get the starting point but i'm going to use.
Jason Lin: My design skills in my animation and skills to really help rotate this head better, so what I mean by that is when you grab.
Jason Lin: Here, let me.
Jason Lin: run.
Jason Lin: you're also going to drop the hairline a bit.
Jason Lin: And the bangs you'll then grab a swell.
Jason Lin: up and said.
Jason Lin: us down and so that she doesn't have this like honkin forehead because that doesn't make any sense right if we're trying to for short and stuff you're not gonna listen sees massive forehead.
Jason Lin: Everything so you're going to want to kind of decrease or basically rotate the head and think about the rotation.
Jason Lin: looks.
Jason Lin: And of course we're also going to incorporate a little bit of secondary with the hair so she's turning your head the hair the bangs are less dense so you're going to get a little bit of drag going on, and this is your opportunity to make some really cool hair Drake happening.
Jason Lin: Then you're going to work out, so I worked out the first part of it so we've got the head turning and then we're going to work out the second part, where the head finches turning.
Jason Lin: So this is where you as an American picks and chooses what you want a favor out into.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Jason Lin: sounds like crazy.
Jason Lin: direction.
Jason Lin: A bit of the head disappears, which is fine, we can easily fix that so.
Jason Lin: Instead of having a capitated.
Jason Lin: What you're going to do is work out the animation on tues, and this will smooth everything out so i'm going to just further.
Jason Lin: Just click and hold and create an ease from ease out there, so the second last frame I just clicked and held and then create the new key So you can see, like it's really subtle he's out just what we want.
Jason Lin: And then ease and we're going to the same thing.
Jason Lin: But see this weird Joe happening we're going to fix that that doesn't look cool.
Jason Lin: what's up.
Jason Lin: One second guys something i'm crazy.
Jason Lin: happening.
Jason Lin: Sorry, my phone just annoying right sorry about that and so we're going to just fix and tweak the mouth here.
Jason Lin: going to remove those Queens so that it doesn't end up floating away.
Jason Lin: And we're gonna just keep an eye on volumes.
Jason Lin: Oh, can we on frame 34 here, I have the hair so when do that.
Jason Lin: So you're gonna be a little bit stop mo.
just fine.
Jason Lin: dropped in the hairline.
Jason Lin: Alright, good add a little bit more of a dip again we're just thinking.
Jason Lin: quotation, and how to get this looking more appealing.
Jason Lin: Right from one of those Queens create a keyframe between these two.
Jason Lin: Right and then all you gotta do is just fix the one.
Jason Lin: head that's disappearing.
Jason Lin: Oh that's what the master control is for.
Jason Lin: it's going to then now rework.
Jason Lin: here.
Jason Lin: let's go to the head down a little bit more.
Jason Lin: Well you're gonna fix the pupils, you can add a little bit more.
Jason Lin: finesse to this whole thing.
Jason Lin: Like look i'm just gonna get rid that right.
Jason Lin: And right there has a little like so much more life to it now we're going to.
Jason Lin: tweak some stuff so right now the legs for me bit could be a little smoother.
Jason Lin: So i'm going to.
Jason Lin: take these legs now and do some reworking on the tweens here so i'm going to just auto between this and i'm going to dampen it.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: My dampen what i'm all i'm doing is i'm going in and i'm taking the auto tuned.
Jason Lin: In between and turning those into keys and then making that my new key so I don't want it to be bending as much as it is like on this frame, so what I can do is I can take this frame here click hold dragon replace it.
Jason Lin: And you can see it's last if I want to do less than that then it's kind of do it again.
Jason Lin: So I know such a wide stance so I kind of like what we have right here, someone to replace that and that.
Jason Lin: On that down.
Jason Lin: remove all these Queens after.
Jason Lin: Not as harsh.
Jason Lin: know why did that move my.
Jason Lin: Face mess something up whoa hold on.
Jason Lin: What happened hotdog listen.
Jason Lin: Strange not sure why that did that.
Jason Lin: I can see like she's leading she's clearly leading with her head.
Jason Lin: Before we get to the rest of the body kind of following up with it right.
Jason Lin: It just some things that arm shouldn't be doing that.
Jason Lin: So, then, we right now we just go in and we fix up some things now when you're changing direction and you want to change the hand pose because it goes from here to this hand here do it on transitions don't do it at the end because it's going to be noticeable, but if you do on the transition.
Jason Lin: People will less likely notice the change.
Jason Lin: If you want to add more to that you could so now anything else to add to this will just.
Jason Lin: give it more little more life right So if you want to emphasize on that low weight shift, you can also incorporate a little bit squash and stretch on the feet.
Jason Lin: that's going to do is you're going to take this and just add.
Jason Lin: On the key.
Jason Lin: Just a little bit of squish.
Jason Lin: We can help with the auto tunes openstack tween that here between so that it helps create the in between, for you.
Jason Lin: So remove that one of the key mean it create the key and between the two keys and remove the extra between So you can see that there's a little bit squish in there, we can continue that squish.
Jason Lin: can move all those.
Jason Lin: and basically.
Jason Lin: pull keys.
Jason Lin: To then.
Jason Lin: Just help with the queen's remove all those, you can see.
Jason Lin: there's a little bit squish in there on that and just gives it a little bit more life into the movement and so doesn't just feel static.
Jason Lin: Any questions.
Jason Lin: don't think too hard nori.
Cyril Chen (they/them): quick question.
Cyril Chen (they/them): yeah did you say something about dampening two hands.
Cyril Chen (they/them): was a.
Jason Lin: Well, definitely then legs more than the hands but.
Jason Lin: What you want to do with the hands is basically during the transition is when you are going to change the drunk substitution of the hands, so that you don't notice the POP.
Jason Lin: As easily.
Jason Lin: right if I change the hands near the end where it is basically favoring you're going to notice more of a pop happening, if I did near the end here right.
Jason Lin: So you kind of want to just choose a sweet spot during the transition, where the body is moving and then you're going to incorporate the change there.
Jason Lin: Great.
Cyril Chen (they/them): So.
Jason Lin: that's all you're doing.
Jason Lin: is so different than what I teach for like when we do the arm point.
Jason Lin: So, once you have your all that stuff done and you want to add a little more secondary you can with the big fangs, so this is like the finishing touches.
Jason Lin: for that.
Jason Lin: So the hair bangs you're going to do the following so you're going to find okay there's the drag and then it's going to continue dragging a bit.
Jason Lin: And then, as she's come to a stop right we're going to have it.
Jason Lin: flow forward a bit.
Jason Lin: And then add a couple keys or frames oh so i'm going to do about to.
Jason Lin: hear why not.
Jason Lin: That does not look good something freaking.
Jason Lin: careful how things are.
Jason Lin: placed so you don't want.
Jason Lin: to smooth things out clean them up.
Jason Lin: mean up their hair here I just noticed that kind of breaking.
Jason Lin: Bad to break.
Jason Lin: things here i'm going to have it blow.
Jason Lin: drag behind oops so.
Jason Lin: This pair.
Jason Lin: yeah we're gonna follow through with that so taking this the banks here.
Jason Lin: So you can find layer
Jason Lin: Remove the extra keys and then you're going to have it.
Jason Lin: kind of blow past her face and then settle back into place right so that's the idea.
Jason Lin: Again, you don't have to go too crazy with it.
Jason Lin: One side to the other side.
Jason Lin: And you don't want to obviously there right just kind of was nice and smooth and shouldn't feel like popping just feel.
Jason Lin: Why weren't you great things gonna crash.
Jason Lin: didn't like that.
Jason Lin: You guys get the idea.
Jason Lin: Oh, this thing's crashing.
Jason Lin: so well, this is crashing any questions.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: i'm doing a head turn to but instead of going from like one side to the other it's like front two three quarterback.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: mouths are kind of going crazy, you know.
Jason Lin: You want to pass over your shot.
Jason Lin: So I can take a look.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Like like screen share.
Jason Lin: My screen share or if you just want to zip up your file and there would it on to the chat.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Okay i'll do that.
Jason Lin: anybody else has anything that you want me to check out go over.
Evine Abbasy: I have a question.
yep.
Evine Abbasy: Can we.
Evine Abbasy: animate something by hand.
Evine Abbasy: Like a proper something that she holds.
Jason Lin: yeah okay.
Jason Lin: That work on.
Jason Lin: Well, I lost all that work amazing all right.
Jason Lin: You guys got the idea is recorded whatever.
Jason Lin: button times.
Jason Lin: Love harmony.
Jason Lin: cool.
Jason Lin: that's Nice.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: it's really rocky going the other way around.
Jason Lin: Alright, so.
Jason Lin: This is where you recently just trick it more than anything.
Jason Lin: So I love the squash and stretch, you have going on that's really nice and subtle.
Jason Lin: had turned going around yeah this is always tricky when it comes to.
Jason Lin: This particular character it's never fun so you're probably finding good jaw and stuff just kind of snapping.
Jason Lin: yeah and you're trying to get that to work and it's like.
Jason Lin: it's not really working the way you want it okay so.
Jason Lin: you're almost on the right track there you're almost there it's just in just.
Jason Lin: thing with timing, more than anything.
Jason Lin: So what you're going.
Jason Lin: To do.
Jason Lin: So what's going on here you got this going on, oh that's cool.
Jason Lin: it's just me.
Jason Lin: Some stuff right so.
Jason Lin: What part of it is our ear hope I chased her hair that's all the million dollar question there okay so let's take a look let's play with this.
Jason Lin: All this, I didn't make this part easy cuz yeah.
Jason Lin: Not fun.
Jason Lin: This going on here that's cool.
Jason Lin: What can we do to make this work better.
Jason Lin: That in there.
Jason Lin: that's us this and we're going to use this to sculpt.
Jason Lin: hair.
Jason Lin: apologize to the.
Jason Lin: You wouldn't have known to do this.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: hey What did you like looked away right.
Jason Lin: All right.
Jason Lin: I mean go back.
Jason Lin: Alright, so don't blink.
Jason Lin: Alright, so what one thing one thing he knows that she has two pieces to her hair right one.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: part is.
Jason Lin: Basically, the hairline right which works on the third quarter front, but not so much when things are pushed around and push that so what I did here was Okay, you know we want this job.
Jason Lin: To kind of show up some.
Jason Lin: i'm actually pushing this forward exactly now that that happened, I can then take this.
Jason Lin: And we're going to manipulate it to create.
Jason Lin: The back of her here, so we can get some shape and form there, this is where the years gonna go rate so, then we can actually create like the sideburns.
Jason Lin: Then you don't have something i'm looking as genki as you did, for.
Jason Lin: Great.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Thanks.
Jason Lin: So that's what you're going to do, and then with that you can like shape this however way you want to get like a nice cheap out of it.
Jason Lin: let's talk about.
Jason Lin: yeah, then you can actually like really get some really neat things going on right for the hair the bangs right don't stick with the pre curved banks but switch over to.
Jason Lin: The neutral ones i'll give you a much nicer curve to.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: know those.
Jason Lin: This is what I said, like take this opportunity to play and explore and see what is it what exists or what you can do with these right.
Jason Lin: So it's part of basically whenever you are.
Jason Lin: animating a character, for the first time.
Jason Lin: spend a couple hours.
Jason Lin: To just figure out what this character can or can't do.
Jason Lin: And this is a pro tip for all you guys, who are jumping like you, when you guys go to work, whether you're doing internships or you're going to be doing it or as a full time gig.
Jason Lin: With a new studio really take take the time to explore the characters and see what's in each of the nodes to see if there are subs and what those subs can do.
Jason Lin: Right don't just take it for first value and just beg a candidate is where it is it's no different than like if you are going to.
Jason Lin: purchase a new vehicle whether it's a bike car whatever right you're not just going to buy it and just go with it right you're going to want to try test drive it for us and see how it feels and getting know bits and pieces of it so.
Jason Lin: same deal when you're dealing with character rigs.
Jason Lin: Right.
Jason Lin: Okay tweens nice at the end, and it just got to fix this part where draw just gets bigger and then smaller so it's kind of figure out just kind of split the difference right find a happy medium between the two.
Jason Lin: So, even though this is her default profile right just for consistency sake.
Jason Lin: We are going to take some liberties and we're going to change that up and the same goes for this crazy hairline that's happening whoops from my going, you know don't go there.
Jason Lin: everything's not working.
Jason Lin: Why technology.
Jason Lin: Great so we have that.
Jason Lin: So you can adjust what you every need, we need to push certain things behind can try to hold features an intercourse ball Tommy.
Jason Lin: No that's right.
Jason Lin: Oh yeah if you need to adjust certain things you can that's what you're going to adjust and then just rearrange.
Jason Lin: Things to make her look less elongated.
Jason Lin: But yeah that's what you're going to do.
Jason Lin: doesn't break anything but whatever I think it's going to end up dipping down bit, but that actually might work.
Jason Lin: So, again fixed.
Jason Lin: Or that draw and that's the thing, are you just just little things that you just kind of.
Jason Lin: Change and yeah it'll all work out.
Jason Lin: and hopefully by the end of all this, or this whole semester you're going to love rigs.
Jason Lin: jumping around whoops that's where it was right for me.
Jason Lin: what's going on here.
Jason Lin: Oh that's right.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Wrong oh my God.
Jason Lin: won't do that.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: There we are.
Jason Lin: best way to deal with this.
Jason Lin: gang that right.
Jason Lin: All this finessing that's the, this is the crummy part and you have to try something out this.
Jason Lin: Hawaii Hawaii blah blah.
Jason Lin: hair.
Jason Lin: The hair changes here.
Jason Lin: And changes they're good damn right.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Okay i'm gonna have to work a lot on this.
Jason Lin: Oh yeah you're gonna have to like figure out what's a good happy meet.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: With this because yeah.
Jason Lin: It moved the hair i'm not sure how you move the hair but.
Jason Lin: You can probably take what's working and see.
Jason Lin: If see if this would work let's play with this.
Jason Lin: wonder.
Jason Lin: what's changing.
Jason Lin: yeah you got to play with this.
Jason Lin: Steve what will work better.
Jason Lin: What is going on here.
Jason Lin: did not expect that.
Jason Lin: yeah.
Jason Lin: replace.
Jason Lin: that the head turn just the hairs all messed up.
Jason Lin: alright.
Jason Lin: realizes that crazy.
Jason Lin: Man, you have.
Jason Lin: To.
Jason Lin: change that.
Jason Lin: that's fine it's this to their.
Jason Lin: wonder if you could go from here to here.
Jason Lin: does happen, we do that.
oops.
Jason Lin: oops.
Jason Lin: I see what happens because the job changes right goes from profile and it goes right so.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: that's what i've been having issues with.
Jason Lin: Okay let's see actually i'm kind of curious I just read that don't worry about the jaw.
Jason Lin: Does the hair rotate well here does rotate well, I think it doesn't work is that Shaw.
Jason Lin: actually work with this this probably better workaround is to force because he got this going now it works that works that works that doesn't work, but if we can just in between from here to here of that jaw.
Jason Lin: Using.
Jason Lin: That profile or using the profile.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: yeah I think.
Jason Lin: So, why would you use in here.
Jason Lin: One alright, so if we used one that's where that is.
Jason Lin: And this doesn't have a performer on it it's just basically you just gotta scare the crap out of it.
Jason Lin: And you could in theory get this to closer.
Jason Lin: look like.
Jason Lin: Little smoother.
Jason Lin: they're just going to match that arm work with it, but.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Thanks Jason.
Jason Lin: Just bar this back at you, and then you could.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Oh, thank you.
Jason Lin: Like do it again.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: I gotta do this now oh Thank you so much yeah.
Jason Lin: If you want.
Jason Lin: To offer this package, but.
Jason Lin: anyone else.
Nobody.
Jason Lin: Anybody.
Jason Lin: actually came into attendance, because not sure who's here who's not because there's a bunch of freeloaders in this class.
Jason Lin: i'm going to just read out names because i'm going some you guys are using your actual names and some of them I don't recognize.
Jason Lin: But you guys.
Jason Lin: want to be here.
Jason Lin: right if I don't get your name rate just the correct me.
Jason Lin: Against what's on slate doesn't necessarily match what's on here or versus what you have written note in zoom.
Jason Lin: Is a layer here.
Alea Antognetti: Yes, i'm here.
Jason Lin: Oh, there you are.
Jason Lin: talia.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Yuwen Cui: i'm here oh.
Jason Lin: Emily.
Yuwen Cui: Oh, all right.
Jason Lin: Yes, so we are you.
Jason Lin: sorry if I butchered Nina.
Jason Lin: nope alright angel.
Jason Lin: Julia.
Right.
Jason Lin: Anyone know Brittany.
Jason Lin: Like oh you hear.
Xingyu Lu: me.
Jason Lin: Oh, there you are.
Jason Lin: Wait where were you.
Jason Lin: hear other your know.
Jason Lin: We just Oh, there you are okay who's here.
Jason Lin: semih arsema.
Jason Lin: Know Gala.
Jason Lin: Oh.
Jason Lin: Joe.
me.
Jason Lin: Your pen.
me.
Jason Lin: i'll take it gotcha but are you also do.
Jomark Bermudez: Some people call me Joe but I go by, Joe mark.
Jason Lin: Most of the time, oh no I got you like yeah nevermind.
Jason Lin: Okay sorry I got you it's all good.
Jason Lin: It just people that I didn't see on the participants list them just going through.
Jomark Bermudez: Earlier so.
Jason Lin: Was there Sydney dice just saw you read.
Sydney Roy: i'm sorry i'm late, I ended been early today.
Jason Lin: So good jaden.
Sydney Roy: nope.
Jason Lin: And suman.
Jason Lin: Oh, I see you.
Jason Lin: wow okay so there's still missing a whole bunch of people got to see how they're all doing.
Jason Lin: ready.
Jason Lin: hey so anybody else want me to go through their character stuff.
Evine Abbasy: i'd like a little critique.
Jason Lin: We all right feel free to throw it to me or screen share or whatever.
Evine Abbasy: it's like the screenshot.
Jason Lin: screen share we.
Evine Abbasy: can see.
yep.
Evine Abbasy: Okay.
Evine Abbasy: Through a few times because sometimes it lags.
Jason Lin: All right.
Evine Abbasy: Is it playing through correctly.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Jason Lin: pretty good with the poses just watch the timing of her yanking but, overall, looks pretty good because right now it's like everything is moving exactly the same rate like there's no real Greg or basic.
Jason Lin: Was it the breaking section of joints going on, so yakking the secondary or the secondary the.
Jason Lin: overlapping action there what's the word i'm looking for.
Jason Lin: Right so again, it looks like she's leading with their head, but then as soon as she.
Jason Lin: Does her anticipation, then goes right into the extreme of her arching your back, like everything is just kind of just animates exactly.
Jason Lin: Time so.
Evine Abbasy: Maybe should have had like her entire head drag a little bit.
Jason Lin: So you're going to want to lead with your head and then Greg with so basically have her head arch back and then having her shoulders and everything else follow.
Jason Lin: All through right so you're going to want to lead with the head have the head do all that motion and then basically everything else kind of falls behind it.
Evine Abbasy: Okay.
Evine Abbasy: Very cool yeah anything that's.
Jason Lin: What you got there is looking pretty good.
Evine Abbasy: Okay, thank you.
Jason Lin: anybody else want to share.
Isaiah Dunk: I don't have anything nearly as fully animated as that, but I do have a couple questions if I could share and ask.
Isaiah Dunk: In terms of i'll share you and.
Isaiah Dunk: you'll probably see it right away because i'm not really sure how it's happening, I think it's because it's like the line list it's like the lifeless rig and, like the cool kind of like the cutters and when you have like bent joints and things um.
Isaiah Dunk: Can you see this.
Jason Lin: yep.
Isaiah Dunk: Okay, so, for example, like sometimes i'll have something like this.
Jason Lin: Oh okay.
Isaiah Dunk: Right, where they're kind of like popping out but it's not like overlapping anything.
Isaiah Dunk: And kind of wasn't sure why that was happening, I think I was also having like.
Jason Lin: off centered not really matching now i'm not sure how you moved him.
Isaiah Dunk: or her right is it like a separate thing.
Jason Lin: No it's not it should everything should mirror and i'm not sure how you broke it.
Jason Lin: I see that time to time from people like.
Isaiah Dunk: How are you guys, did you do this.
Jason Lin: But it's all good um don't worry about it it's not a big deal.
Okay.
Isaiah Dunk: um I guess like Okay, I can just show you some of the I basically just have a bunch of little kind of key frames, but.
Isaiah Dunk: I can kind of show you some of the posing essentially I feel better, so I kind of need a critique I just had like.
Isaiah Dunk: chillin normally looking pose looking at her hands he's someone thinks that somebody is waving at her oh boy then waving at me who are they waving at oh my gosh Look how.
Isaiah Dunk: Okay smile oh i'm so embarrassed.
Jason Lin: Pretty cute just watch the.
Jason Lin: Basically, like.
Jason Lin: The rigs start like model it's gone law off model on the face bit, but.
Jason Lin: yeah what you've got going on there is like in terms of the narrative and poses everything like great ideas i'm definitely like in that clean just step back to.
Jason Lin: The first post here yep.
Jason Lin: just stay on there so i'm just going to do a quick.
Jason Lin: looking for here Greens there you are okay.
Jason Lin: let's zoom in on this no I can't that's the most I can get into Greek and I.
Jason Lin: there's no way of zooming in on this, can I.
Jason Lin: ready, then.
Jason Lin: i'm going to.
screen.
Jason Lin: Right spot.
Jason Lin: Right So hopefully, you can see my screen right so just watched general like just tilt.
Jason Lin: So, since her leg is kicking out this way, and she doing that holding on you're going to want to push those tilts more.
Jason Lin: What you're also going to want to do is stay with the foreshortening on this arm and.
Jason Lin: Like kicked out, which is fine.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: We have tilts you're gonna want to counter tilt a bit which he has to do so it's great alright so.
Jason Lin: That in mind and i'm going to.
Just.
Jason Lin: Do that rich hopefully this works.
Jason Lin: No guarantees.
Jason Lin: or working brush.
Jason Lin: Of course it doesn't work that damn green shot right.
Jason Lin: Taking a screen grab of screengrab.
Jason Lin: there's going to push that there alright so.
Jason Lin: I didn't work.
Jason Lin: out and everything so you're gonna want to do notice that.
Jason Lin: herb out, and I saw since you're still posing you have room to really push this, so I would just curve or dip this part of the hip.
Jason Lin: Like so and then, when you're kicking up this leg.
Jason Lin: And you're going to use that foot that's awesome.
Jason Lin: whoa good here.
Jason Lin: Can you do it.
Jason Lin: looks like you did but.
Jason Lin: don't forget direction.
Jason Lin: If you want to accentuate like a nice little.
Jason Lin: bar on that and.
Jason Lin: whimsical kind of feel to it can just.
Jason Lin: Re sculpt so that this has a slight dip going through.
Jason Lin: Really hunch.
Jason Lin: pose.
Jason Lin: A nice little street but it's slightly curved.
Jason Lin: guarantee so did you take the whole leg and flip it.
Isaiah Dunk: Oh, my goodness, I can't remember my I don't know, looking at the screen grab that you took it looks like the caf almost didn't even change the oh wait.
Isaiah Dunk: How did I do it.
Jason Lin: All good if you did that's fine it's just if you didn't flip it and you just re sculpt it, it would have saved you saw it wherever your next poses it's not going to end up flipping that leg.
Isaiah Dunk: right that might even be why the it's putting those weird shaders on it, I actually might have flipped it.
Isaiah Dunk: And when I continued through probably like a mess it up.
Jason Lin: Anyway, that's how I would usually do it very.
Jason Lin: Just receive so again nice tilt and so with it tell you're going to use the belt to basically help describe that form.
Jason Lin: And don't forget to curve so there's a lot of stuff that you have to like remember when it comes to these rick's.
Jason Lin: Point 630 all right i'm doing good time a lot better than why you didn't happen that yesterday, yes, he was this disaster.
Isaiah Dunk: heard you had a lot of people to go to.
Jason Lin: Parties because.
Jason Lin: Nobody wants to hear this stuff and i'm like a.
Jason Lin: away from the lessons and i'm glad you guys are not as shy.
Jason Lin: Because it helps.
Jason Lin: Just with the flow of everything, so I wasn't prepared for that.
Jason Lin: i'm glad you guys are open to sharing this stuff and you guys are all learning off each other so.
Jason Lin: The upper body hearings double check i'm just going to see if everything's lining up nicely yep and then for that you got.
Jason Lin: kicked out you got this going out so.
Jason Lin: want a nice curve on that so yeah.
Jason Lin: Oh just ever so slightly and again it's the midsection that you don't really see so you don't have to like really go too crazy over.
Jason Lin: that we can get nice curvature don't be shy, to use the crop top to help.
Jason Lin: With or.
Jason Lin: Getting a nice tilt there and then you're going to counter till 1am I showing all that I don't need that okay so take the counter tilt with the head and neck and that's based we're going to do right, so we want to work, the general like body parts of like basic blocking out those parts.
Jason Lin: To get interest to really think about the Silhouette mattel's busy, and you want to avoid anything a feels to horizontal from a general like design standpoint, for you guys.
Jason Lin: and this goes for like this goes beyond just animation This is like if you're thinking about storyboarding if you think about design thinking about doing layouts like you really want to think about not creating.
Jason Lin: or working with just straight horizontal industry verticals you really want to play with angles smart they're just naturally make just more appealing so like if even if you just take that leg and just push that more right, and then you can counterbalance all that.
Jason Lin: let's say like she was been taken out and just doing this.
Jason Lin: And Greg counterbalance that and again like we don't.
Jason Lin: School doesn't do a very good job, again, you guys to practice, these things right, and looking out for these things and.
Jason Lin: I don't know if it's just lack of time, or what it is that, for whatever reason, that you guys don't but again it's not the fault of the students per se, or anything that a lot of it is just that.
Jason Lin: It just gets left out of certain things, whether it's and then the biggest complaints I find are I hear from.
Jason Lin: Students or even like when they graduate and they go looking for that job they're like I didn't learn half these things, or whatever it is, but are they had to learn on their own, but you.
Jason Lin: We should be doing more.
Jason Lin: of a better job really explaining and pinpointing these.
Jason Lin: Almost fundamentals.
Jason Lin: of design to you guys through and through.
Jason Lin: will try my best to keep like reminding you of these things but yeah because it just with those subtle little angles right and the counter tilts you're getting more personality, out of the fellow thing.
Jason Lin: Oh check a whole I wish I gotta teach I design to you guys so much more to digi guys.
Jason Lin: Especially those who are really into or wanting to get into like this Dev.
Jason Lin: achieve for production.
Jason Lin: or vision or even feature there's like a it's like a whole.
Jason Lin: The whole different like way of thinking.
Jason Lin: So again, just when you are dealing with occurs, or just like ben's of the arm don't just bend them but also think about like how you would.
Jason Lin: draw it to make it more appealing and it's just going straight skins curves.
Jason Lin: Those little fundamentals that really push it but also you're thinking about the general direction, so you guys really want to think about how to keep it looking from being stiff and really wanting to think about.
Jason Lin: graphically How would you make it more interesting.
Jason Lin: And I know it's a lot to think about because again you're working on the program laughing to be struggling with things not consisting working like lines outlines kind of doing the same thing going rogue I totally get it.
Jason Lin: But here to really help you guys in remind you guys, like the other bits and pieces to be thinking about that's a little bit more important, I guess.
Jason Lin: Oh.
and
Jason Lin: This so yeah that's fine too.
Jason Lin: But feel free to overlap.
Jason Lin: Things if you need to.
Jason Lin: If you need to redraw and rework it so that it like hugs her hip.
Jason Lin: Always redraw.
Jason Lin: Think I did something with this hands before in the past, so what I do with this is, I took this hand and here's a little bit of a quick rigging lesson, so we have the overlay and forehand and what you can do is I already set up the layers for you.
Jason Lin: All you gotta do is now just separate those pieces so check this out got the hand here.
Jason Lin: We can take this whole hand copy it paste it into the overlay.
Jason Lin: On the overlay.
Jason Lin: we're going to knock out.
Jason Lin: Some of you guys are like what you can do that and the short answer is yes, you can.
Jason Lin: or man that suffering properly.
Jason Lin: Not separating.
Jason Lin: or a fine or a service.
Jason Lin: r&b fancy wouldn't let me do it so i'm going to have to.
Jason Lin: physically manhandle this thing.
Jason Lin: online.
Jason Lin: Then fill in whatever you need to fill in.
Jason Lin: Once it's all set up and done.
Jason Lin: will be the next step right show you will make more sense so you're just going to create the overlay of the fingers.
Jason Lin: Now that I can click on this, I can do, they can set click on the forehand here for our headmaster.
Jason Lin: push this back in something versus package.
Jason Lin: Right and then the overlay you can push this up.
Jason Lin: But.
Isaiah Dunk: And each each kind of like part have one of those like an overlay peg.
Jason Lin: For the hand.
Isaiah Dunk: or just I Oh, I see over.
Isaiah Dunk: Is there one for.
Isaiah Dunk: I guess I can't really think of why you need it for other things.
Isaiah Dunk: I saiful.
Jason Lin: You may find.
Isaiah Dunk: I forgot the other hand, assets were all into the one hand, yes, why.
Jason Lin: that's all good.
Jason Lin: yeah This is why, why did you guys Dora the other classroom.
Jason Lin: Because it's like everyone benefits out of it and then they're like, no, no, I rather just don't know they just shy like I don't want to show everybody i'm like okay fine.
Jason Lin: really makes it difficult for me to go through like 25 students.
Jason Lin: Because there's like a little bit of everything for everyone, make i'll come across stuff.
Jason Lin: And it's not necessarily just posing is just working with the program and worth the rig to and showing you as a little things that you'll discover or not discovered, but that do exist, and then you guys can know we like oh wow okay cool.
Jason Lin: Those things to it.
Jason Lin: Now you have her back so just i'm going to follow what you did there.
Jason Lin: What you did there.
Isaiah Dunk: Keeping the face on model.
Isaiah Dunk: that's like a very big do you think it was it was too big, of an issue on some of those other poses for the like the body proportions, or do you think the fake like it was mostly in the face is what you're saying.
Jason Lin: Well, mine in the face rate.
Jason Lin: is why you want to keep an eye out for more so than the body as much but i'm just showing guys, they just generally like what i've seen from other students like.
Jason Lin: there's you guys don't think about tilts as much.
Jason Lin: And I get.
Jason Lin: A lot of poses that are just very, very horizontal and flat and i'm just trying to get you guys to think more about tilts, and this will help with your life drawing to when you start thinking and being aware of tilts and you start adding those little like.
Jason Lin: nuances it will change just the way you draw and think about when you are doing gestures and whatever else.
Jason Lin: i'll use this one.
Isaiah Dunk: I think so.
Isaiah Dunk: And so, trying to get something for like looking at her nails or something kind of like oh and.
Isaiah Dunk: I couldn't really I thought that.
that's cool.
Jason Lin: So i'll try and do that again with this least I purposely gave you these kind of begging sleeves, so that you guys take advantage of this like the ball this shape that has for weight right, and this will just give it so much more.
Jason Lin: Just to for you to play with and to push.
Jason Lin: This just a slight curve and just that subtle curve on the arm just go give it so much more.
Jason Lin: I do apologize, with the torso bit of a pain having to move all these points.
Jason Lin: To simplify, I totally forgot to.
Isaiah Dunk: yeah I was considering I was working on, I was like go really nice.
Jason Lin: yeah no it only works for certain things.
Jason Lin: And I didn't realize, like all right, not going to need to coffee rotate this girl so yeah I totally get it.
Isaiah Dunk: So how much uh.
Isaiah Dunk: What is do today, what do you need to be seeing today.
Jason Lin: um ideally every.
Isaiah Dunk: boy.
Jason Lin: But like really I wanted you guys to more so just get the posing down right and get used to posing I should just shortened it to just figuring out posing with these characters rather than guys like anime the whole thing, because it is a lot of work.
Jason Lin: But having an enemy is more beneficial for you guys when it comes to like if you come up with something really cool then you'll have examples of animation and you can throw into a DEMO reel right.
sure.
Jason Lin: yeah if you're going to get her to look her nails that's really.
Nice.
Isaiah Dunk: Thanks yeah I was asking because i'm just considering i'm like with this stuff that I have.
Isaiah Dunk: Is there and it can be seen, but I was just I was just considering revisiting a lot of the stuff.
Isaiah Dunk: And redoing portions of this just because.
Jason Lin: yeah like I would like the whole like the real purpose of this assignment is just like just pushing the posing right Dan used to paint the rig and.
Jason Lin: And then the animation could be pretty much anything you want.
Jason Lin: If you want to go with a march snappier look.
Jason Lin: or something something really fluid that's all on you.
Jason Lin: And i'll be going over the different styles of animation you guys can take into consideration when you guys are animating but what I normally show students is just like a more fluid approach, something that has more fluid richer than depth in the animation as opposed to like your.
Jason Lin: I would say preschool ish type of animation that you would just formulate just use a quick easy and quickies out and then a snappy in between, for things I know with other instructors they do teach that.
Jason Lin: They passed instructors that have taught harmony.
Jason Lin: They go with like much snappier type of animation.
Jason Lin: As their general like starting point but.
Jason Lin: I like to give you guys more than just that in not limit yours like just what you can do and really push it so and then really it's all in the posing more than anything.
Jason Lin: cool see that in send that off to you, so you have a reference.
Jason Lin: Though.
Jason Lin: If.
Jason Lin: anyone else.
Isaiah Dunk: Thanks Jason.
Jason Lin: Or, if you have any other questions or.
Jason Lin: About time.
Jungwoo Choi: I can show you mine.
well.
Jason Lin: that's happening i'm going to save this as.
Jason Lin: We need documents documents.
Jungwoo Choi: Can you see it.
Jason Lin: yep oh wow you like to.
Jungwoo Choi: Try I try to like I try and like figure out how to like.
Jungwoo Choi: How much I can for shorten this character so it's, so why take for this character is she's hanging on the often clicked and then she falls down to the running running running water.
Okay.
Jason Lin: Oh Nice.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Jason Lin: that's pretty good.
Jungwoo Choi: I had issues with the one the legs and those and the meeting it, it was this like here in this left blank here.
Jungwoo Choi: that's like.
Jungwoo Choi: It just starts working.
Jason Lin: yep okay.
Jungwoo Choi: i'm not sure how to fix that.
Jason Lin: So that would be through basically generally animation it.
Jason Lin: there's no real like easy way of doing it, but yeah definitely you're going to be animating and then working on like I would enemy on tues for that so that you're not killing yourself.
Jason Lin: Trying to fix it frame by frame.
Jason Lin: But yeah like really work on eases and then.
Jason Lin: You can.
Jason Lin: You want you can fire that at me I can show you.
Jason Lin: Oh you're fix that leg.
Jason Lin: yeah it's really just through timing, you would generally fix that normal stop mullet at some cases, but you want to minimize how much stop bullying, you are doing, because it just takes up a lot of time.
Jason Lin: Oh.
Jason Lin: not sure where we went, but all right.
Jason Lin: Okay, so anyone else.
Jason Lin: gets the gets back in here.
Jason Lin: yeah that looks really good.
Jungwoo Choi: Oh Hello yep.
Jason Lin: It disconnected on us.
Jungwoo Choi: whoo sorry about that.
Jungwoo Choi: No, I had like.
Jungwoo Choi: Something happened when my Internet was being stupid again as always.
Jason Lin: Far good.
Jungwoo Choi: let's see i'm going to be sharing.
Jungwoo Choi: just going to read share that I, I completely missed what you said.
Jason Lin: If you want on fire on me.
Jason Lin: Like if you just do a direct message and just fire copied me.
Jason Lin: I can go for it.
Jason Lin: yeah cuz they what you want to do is you're going to want to basically enemy.
Jungwoo Choi: yeah that's.
It.
Jungwoo Choi: Oh sorry sorry what were you saying.
Jason Lin: So yeah you're gonna want to enemy it on tues and just kind of smooth out the I guess the movement of that leg so it's not like flipping on itself.
Jason Lin: And what I usually do is i'll try to work on the easiest.
Jason Lin: So that because, again with eases it's the same basically the drawing and you're just kind of using the auto tween to help get the form, going so similar to how I dealt with the head turn they did earlier right you're working out basically.
Jason Lin: two keys that are similar but it's more like a moving hold and then you have an in between that goes pretty fast and then into another moving hold right so that's how you would kind of generally get that whole leg to work lot smoother.
Jason Lin: So if you want an example, they just if you want like just again like fire that seemed to me.
Jungwoo Choi: yeah i'll share it to you i'll send you the document right now.
Jason Lin: Then I can actually show you quickly, how to approach that yeah looking really good so saying.
Jungwoo Choi: Thank you give me one second.
Jason Lin: crazy man y'all you guys have improved so much, since I stay in second year, so i'm really proud of seeing what you guys are doing really excited to see like more things we can throw it this course.
Evine Abbasy: Jason can I share mine again yep I did a little bit more like hey How did the little shoulder thing.
Evine Abbasy: To bring it back like you said um and then I did some like theory small stuff is all.
Evine Abbasy: Know it's very like visible the movement, initially, they also played with the shirt a little bit so then it's almost like.
Evine Abbasy: Like it falls back after she's like in position.
Jason Lin: All right here, let me show you.
Jason Lin: If I can quickly pull this off so be interesting.
OK.
Jason Lin: Alright, so this is this goes back to basically.
Jason Lin: One of the assignments that we did in second semester second year with the heavy.
Jason Lin: lift and.
Jason Lin: The object lift.
Jason Lin: Oh.
Jason Lin: Ever doing and just cheat this.
Jason Lin: Guy on on here so go your first post for me so let's see.
Jason Lin: Yes, Okay, we have a general bend okay that's cool.
Evine Abbasy: Like turns into a more.
Evine Abbasy: Like a more.
Evine Abbasy: That kind of been.
Jason Lin: yeah yeah that's fine.
Jason Lin: want to just quickly just post something and then go from there, and show you what I mean with like the braking system success going there so we're going to do a whole bunch of stuff gangster.
Jason Lin: as quick as I can just pose.
Jason Lin: too crazy.
Jason Lin: alright.
Jason Lin: Her shoulders rolled in all right, so when she's hunched over I have it.
Jason Lin: Just grab all these.
Jason Lin: and
Jason Lin: Showing guys new tricks when it comes to using the farmers.
Jason Lin: On the air.
Jason Lin: Alright, so you know that shane up there right, so he do is i'll try to even that out.
A great.
Jason Lin: perspective going.
Jason Lin: And rolling this oh.
Jason Lin: shoulder shoulder cool and you can play with this, if you want.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Jason Lin: Nice facial expression like what's back there.
Jason Lin: Okay off the official or anything i'm just going to get the dental pose going.
Jason Lin: As opposing here, try and get that try to match it.
Jason Lin: When you guys are animating.
Jason Lin: When it comes to basically how fast, you should be doing this aim for.
Jason Lin: Five to 10 seconds a day.
Jason Lin: As that's what is required of you, when you are anime puppet characters in this industry.
Jason Lin: So when you're rolling the shoulders and everything.
Jason Lin: Like so.
Jason Lin: sucks.
Jason Lin: i'm so sorry put this main points in here.
Jason Lin: This bites all right.
Jason Lin: let's such a good idea at the time, but really not.
Jason Lin: So much stuff in my house.
Jason Lin: Okay, so when you're trying to get there, and so he got this going on here so i've six.
Jason Lin: And we're going to hold back.
Jason Lin: On whatever it is she's holding on to that rope.
Evine Abbasy: Would it be better if you share screen.
Jason Lin: Oh, I wasn't sharing screen good.
Evine Abbasy: This is my screen.
Jason Lin: whoops.
Jason Lin: All right, cheryl just been like.
Jason Lin: Doing this oh dang it sorry you missed the whole thing, causing us okay so anyway.
Jason Lin: got the pose down.
Jason Lin: close as possible to what you have.
Just.
Jason Lin: The right direction, going, why not.
Jason Lin: Right so.
Jason Lin: pulling back.
Jason Lin: you're going to do the following so you're going to have you had her with her arm slightly bent which is great like that's a good starting point of any type of little animation you got going and you've also had incorporated a little bit of the sleeve so it's also really well done.
Jason Lin: What you wanted to do.
Jason Lin: You want her to start.
Jason Lin: leaning back a bit right, but when she's doing that you're going to want to have her.
Jason Lin: And up and what's causing.
Jason Lin: arms to stretch out more is the.
Jason Lin: Resistance, of whatever she's pulling on right so you're going to see that bit where we are even though he's moving back her shoulders are rolling forward and arm streaking oh.
Evine Abbasy: Oh Okay, this is what I wanted to do, but I just couldn't wrap my head around it also i'm just like a small point when I put the upper arm, like the one closest to you.
Evine Abbasy: Like bringing it up words it's like the little cutout of the neck is in front and when I tried to put it behind or bring the arm in front of it, it doesn't work I don't know why what's.
Evine Abbasy: Heading like.
Evine Abbasy: I don't know the best way for me to show you to actually show you.
Okay.
Evine Abbasy: All right.
Evine Abbasy: So.
Evine Abbasy: here.
Evine Abbasy: So if I go here and then maybe I just like do that.
Evine Abbasy: Get that.
Evine Abbasy: Why, I don't know why.
Evine Abbasy: Like I was, I was knowing the till now just trying to figure out why it's it's doing that, like, I was bringing the arm forward bringing the neck cut out back I don't know none of it works.
Jason Lin: We.
Jason Lin: What.
Jason Lin: aren't you do that.
Evine Abbasy: Like i'm doing nothing I swear I just I just do this and it's what is that.
Jason Lin: Oh, did you get it to be in front and that's not even.
Jason Lin: So confused.
Evine Abbasy: That I click this it's one piece, so I.
Evine Abbasy: don't know.
Evine Abbasy: I don't know what's been changed to.
Jason Lin: zed death so badly that that was.
Jason Lin: interesting.
Jason Lin: I really don't know what you did there i'd have to look at your file to kind of.
Jason Lin: Okay, because I have no idea how.
Evine Abbasy: To me like.
Jason Lin: The weirdest glitches with this rig.
Jason Lin: Which amazes me because i'm like wow that's a whole other level of breaking it but yeah.
Evine Abbasy: yeah So do you want me to like zip it up and send it to you, maybe.
Jason Lin: Yes, it up and says i'm curious to see how what you did there to see but, as you can see, like.
Jason Lin: With this tween I have the arms kind of resisting based on that rope and what you're going to do is you're going to lead.
Jason Lin: So you have the head going of his face going to be leading with this whole motion so she's trying to tilt back, which will probably end up using the master controller for just to help me with the rotation.
Jason Lin: But just gave me to a place with that rotation and I primarily kick this back more and then from that I would then alter.
Jason Lin: The.
Jason Lin: respective.
Jason Lin: You would probably push a whole bunch of things from here so.
Jason Lin: Good luck, more or less.
Jason Lin: offer perspective.
Jason Lin: Like so right and that will give us.
Jason Lin: right there the offset I was talking about.
Evine Abbasy: Okay.
Jason Lin: Right, so the head is moving more than the actual body is in the shoulders are resisting so you're getting like you're seeing now more of that contrast in movement but.
Jason Lin: You definitely want something more like this.
Evine Abbasy: The full is way more visible now like it there's like a stress on her shoulders.
Exactly.
Jason Lin: Right and then that's where you're going to then start till some corporate other things so it's a lot to think about I know, but if you want to push the performance, this is kind of a necessary evil.
Evine Abbasy: As.
Jason Lin: They kind of go through, but like yeah so then from getting that body working that i'm going to start incorporating.
Jason Lin: The legwork.
Jason Lin: And the legs actually easy to do because against Scotland hinge.
Jason Lin: See just this, though.
Jason Lin: Much more.
Jason Lin: you're getting out of that motion movement.
Jason Lin: I probably would.
Jason Lin: Take my legs here and see if this will work so again, this goes back to me dampening so I don't want the moose the legs to move this much I kind of wanted I just over exaggerate so I can actually take.
Jason Lin: Between and then choose one of these frames and make that the new key basically so and that will just dampen it.
Jason Lin: So it's more subtle movement on the legs oh.
Evine Abbasy: yeah thanks I did put my zip folder in the the chat.
Jason Lin: So was there anything else i'm gonna hop back to lose problem for go back into this and see what how to fix your color ish.
Evine Abbasy: okey dokey.
Jason Lin: That.
Jason Lin: yeah never.
Jason Lin: I did not expect to see that that's kind of interesting and neat okay good just do.
Jason Lin: See, so this one who's.
Jason Lin: who's this guy is crushing my system how like way too many things open.
Jason Lin: If you want a copy this i'll zip it up and send this to you.
Evine Abbasy: Sorry.
Jason Lin: If you want a copy of this as reference I can set this up and send this to you.
Evine Abbasy: I took a picture I think I can get it good yeah thanks.
Jason Lin: This.
Cyril Chen (they/them): Is have two quick questions.
Cyril Chen (they/them): yep so did you just want an MP4 file first to submit or the full.
Cyril Chen (they/them): up.
Jason Lin: If you want me to check out there, your technical like just.
Jason Lin: Oh no yeah like the technical side of things, then send me the whole thing, but if you just want me judge it based on the animation then just send me the MP for.
Cyril Chen (they/them): Okay, great and then it's just like loosely do next week.
yeah.
Jason Lin: Like everything else that I pretty much how I run.
Jason Lin: All the other classes.
Cyril Chen (they/them): Great Thank you.
Jason Lin: Mine is not.
Evine Abbasy: working for you.
Jason Lin: it's working what.
Jason Lin: kind of see.
Evine Abbasy: Can you can you just press the upper arm and then press me okay I press it again.
Evine Abbasy: Okay, what the heck when I do that it's different.
Dana Alcantara: um could it just be a graphics card error be.
Jason Lin: It could be a graphic current issue so i'm wondering what type of graphics card, are you using on your end.
Evine Abbasy: I don't know.
Jason Lin: But yeah.
Jason Lin: You can look at it, we can look at it later after class, if you want, and just I can probably.
Jason Lin: resolve it if it's because if you're using an nvidia card, we can definitely resolve this issue if it's an amd card you're on your own is there there's no real.
Jason Lin: Support empty.
Evine Abbasy: yeah it's a md.
Jason Lin: yeah.
Evine Abbasy: crap okay all right.
Cyril Chen (they/them): Because you're looking at the render view and it's it's still like that and.
Jason Lin: Read the reviews the most important thing right if the render for you looks fine.
Jason Lin: don't worry, but if you're if it's just the.
Jason Lin: yeah fine on the render view all mine but yeah don't sweat it.
Evine Abbasy: alright.
Evine Abbasy: Okay alright thanks.
Jason Lin: And as for this big dude tonight.
Jason Lin: don't sweat it if you can't get in tonight next week's fine.
Jason Lin: Where.
Jason Lin: Are the next.
No worries.
Jason Lin: hose seven.
Jason Lin: I think this is going to be the last one I do and.
Jason Lin: going to go over Milky.
Jason Lin: way.
Jason Lin: So what constitutes like.
Jason Lin: it's the same deal, I can see definitely struggling with this leg.
Jason Lin: Like screen sharing.
Jungwoo Choi: yep.
Okay, see more.
Jason Lin: Oh.
Jason Lin: there's fine.
Jason Lin: Alright, so I would blow those out and really think about okay.
Jason Lin: what's the important part of this whole motion and getting her to.
Jason Lin: Where she's going so it's really comes down to timing.
Jason Lin: Her falling because she's the she's starts off closest to us, she should be falling really fast so, then the whole leg should snap in theory to this position as soon as you can right in the first, I would say, like.
Jason Lin: Hand 10 frames here.
Jason Lin: But.
Jason Lin: you're going to go based on your time here what I would do is.
Jason Lin: favor this.
Jason Lin: Year.
Jason Lin: So it's the same leg.
Jason Lin: Being.
Jason Lin: dragged.
Jason Lin: it's just going to.
Jason Lin: Next to this knee so grab that full leg.
Jason Lin: it's breaking up the hierarchy so you're going to have some one heck of a time trying to work with this.
Jason Lin: But the nice thing is, you have it kind of eased in.
Jason Lin: How we do something like that we pull the key and then just adjust.
Jason Lin: Right need this to go.
Jason Lin: So so far it's all connecting right now right so that that kills off a good chunk of frames right there.
Jason Lin: Now it's just a break here, and then we go into this right so.
Jason Lin: Here here and here should really be the same leg.
Jason Lin: When you try to fudge it totally appear see how that works.
Jason Lin: So they're going to just pull keys there and readjust.
Jason Lin: The.
Jason Lin: bait but yeah.
Jason Lin: So, then you should be left with like two three keys, where you actually physically need to animate this out of.
Jason Lin: Right so for this leg swings to work that makes sense to you whoo.
Jungwoo Choi: We how did you find that like because I don't tell us something I was struggling with windows trying to like.
Jason Lin: Extension like.
Jungwoo Choi: Like there was like moments where like that leg looked like it starts like flip like like as if you're like quoting a piece of paper.
yeah.
Jungwoo Choi: how'd you how'd you.
Jason Lin: fix that okay don't blink again.
Jason Lin: yeah okay so.
Jason Lin: go back to what you had so he had all these keys, and you are I could see that you're like really fighting.
Jason Lin: broke every year.
Jungwoo Choi: It was it was really.
Jungwoo Choi: A messy process.
Jason Lin: So what i'm gonna do is.
Jason Lin: i'm going to take all these keys i'm knocking them out completely okay we're just going to start with a clean slate.
Jason Lin: What i'm noticing is just the general timing so i'm going to take this key which is this leg here it's the exact same leg that's going to be used for a good chunk of time, so that's like 123456 frames i'm going to use the same leg on.
Jason Lin: i'm just gonna attach it and then use the auto tween.
Jason Lin: And you can see all right so from here to here.
Jason Lin: It stays on point for a good chunk of it i'm going to need to just probably adjust.
Jason Lin: He so i'm going to just.
Jason Lin: Maybe this one right I.
Jason Lin: see what that does.
Jason Lin: it's going to attach it better.
Jason Lin: that's just see how that plays out so i'm just going to just.
Jason Lin: start and finish stop there okay so let's just see if that still connects so far, so good still connected.
i'm.
Jason Lin: awake move ahead.
Jason Lin: And it's this guy here.
Jason Lin: That.
Jason Lin: So basically these last four frames i'm going to snap to this like.
Jason Lin: No i'm going to do is just connect that.
Jason Lin: Now I may need to.
Jason Lin: do a little bit of stop mo week or basically tracking because the fact that this leg the upper leg is disconnected but once that's in that's fine.
Jason Lin: So then, all your left that really needs to be animated are these two frames.
Jungwoo Choi: Okay, I see.
one.
Jason Lin: and two.
Jason Lin: And you gotta try again, this is where you're going, this is more of a pain in the butt to do but you're going to just like take that and just kind of match whatever you need.
Jason Lin: And when you go to play through.
Jason Lin: there.
Jason Lin: Who you're not telling yourself trying to.
Jason Lin: match frame by frame coming.
yeah.
Jason Lin: All right, and again, if you want to get fancier with that you could whatever it's really but.
Jason Lin: We get a little bit animation going on here, Sir let's just do that, so there we go.
Jason Lin: looks nice it's.
Jason Lin: bigger.
Jason Lin: hope that helps.
Jungwoo Choi: there's also one more thing yeah I trouble but sure.
Jungwoo Choi: I like the last frame.
Jason Lin: Last rain.
Jason Lin: yeah, what are the yeah the other leg, if you look close.
Jungwoo Choi: we're headed.
Jungwoo Choi: way go to the second last frame.
Jungwoo Choi: Kathy yeah I want to.
Jungwoo Choi: I think, like the other like the one that's like closer to like a little thing it looks.
Jungwoo Choi: Like it's in the right perspective, I want to like.
Jungwoo Choi: I say this is like.
Cyril Chen (they/them): You mean like for short, a.
Jungwoo Choi: Time kinda it just like it doesn't it looks like it's not.
Jungwoo Choi: How I say this oh my God.
Jungwoo Choi: Does it look fine.
Jason Lin: I would just.
Jungwoo Choi: Like with mine.
Jason Lin: yeah So do you have the perspective, you got going OK, so the foreshortening looks rate what's throwing enough is.
Jason Lin: You got this.
Jungwoo Choi: That yeah that one.
Jason Lin: thing that is behind but yeah it's different you get like it as you're painting look going on here, I know you're talking about so i'm going to push this up and zed know how far did you push this thing.
Jungwoo Choi: I know I couldn't get it to I couldn't get to push back.
Jason Lin: Okay hold on, let me just.
Jason Lin: saw this stuff up here wow your numbers are all over the place.
Jungwoo Choi: i'm very sorry.
Jason Lin: i'll get this happens it's.
Jason Lin: So why can't I get this friend of this leg.
Jungwoo Choi: hi so no.
Jason Lin: axle far I see all right that's a that's a three adjust some of these oh my gosh.
Jason Lin: You really struggled with this okay.
Jason Lin: cool.
Jason Lin: Most people and fighting with does that depth it's sorry we're going to fix this and get this back on track, so what you want is you want the.
Jason Lin: You want that line to be in front right the Catholic.
Jungwoo Choi: yeah.
Jason Lin: So that you got the right perspective going.
Jason Lin: You probably want like.
Jason Lin: This push this and yeah you're just you're said definitely it's a little off, but we're going to fix all that and we're going to show you how.
Jason Lin: let's get you back on where you want to be with all this and.
Jason Lin: Look.
Jason Lin: More.
Jason Lin: In line of what you had envisioned.
Jason Lin: really impressed with hellfire taking his character.
Jason Lin: That easy what you're trying to do.
Jason Lin: But yeah you're said depth over.
Jason Lin: whoo.
Jungwoo Choi: Well yeah it's.
Jungwoo Choi: On it's gone haywire.
Jason Lin: little bit yeah I could see that.
Jason Lin: Alright, so just try to figure out what you have pushed.
Jason Lin: some kind of scale it back.
Jason Lin: Working the way it should.
Right.
Jason Lin: three.
Jason Lin: Right so that's their that's their where did the.
Jason Lin: Where did that pelvis line go.
Jason Lin: He lost it.
Jason Lin: Never.
Jason Lin: Market handles crotch there you're.
Jason Lin: There okay.
Jason Lin: Oh.
Jason Lin: Yes.
All right.
Jason Lin: heather idea just a little haywire.
Jason Lin: Your approach, which is all right.
Jason Lin: bring it back and place it where it should be.
Jason Lin: AKI I don't need because getting this leg is lifted up.
Jungwoo Choi: Okay.
Jason Lin: Oh don't try to take honestly if you need to check them out check them out fine they're not going to help with anything.
Jason Lin: This guy here, however, you.
Jason Lin: want to.
Jason Lin: If you need to.
Jason Lin: That.
Jason Lin: Always tricky.
Jason Lin: Sorry cheetah let's can we weird was cut out like that.
Jason Lin: Was queen queen suggest.
Jason Lin: What is happening here.
Jason Lin: One that's right the nudging factor.
Jason Lin: What did you.
Jason Lin: nosy dragging there we go.
Jason Lin: that's.
Jason Lin: What we can do with this line, so this is here's a lil me thing you guys can try is repurposing find a way to repurpose.
Jason Lin: peroxide so it doesn't necessarily have to be what it is you always try to find creative ways to make it.
Jason Lin: Something else.
Jason Lin: To help with.
Jason Lin: Whether you think you could always like redraw this or revise it, however, you need.
Jason Lin: So it can be like the side of that leg.
Jason Lin: If you need to.
Jason Lin: or just be a foot or whatever it is right, but feel free to change that up don't push the zipper line too far.
Jason Lin: Because, then that really does weird things to it.
Jason Lin: And then starts breaking and then you're not gonna have a whole lot of fun so.
Jason Lin: many ways, you can deal with that.
Jason Lin: Then just drop that down always like so.
Jason Lin: I hope that helps.
Jungwoo Choi: yeah yeah definitely helps.
Jungwoo Choi: Thank you very much.
Jason Lin: No you're right so yeah it's hard to fix it.
Jason Lin: Oh anyone else.
Jason Lin: nope alright, so we have half hour left um let's go over the mulkey rig and the assignment.
Jason Lin: Well, no flu, if you want me to send this back to you okay.
Jungwoo Choi: Is it possible for you to send it on this court because I have no wi fi right now, so I can't use the computer.
Jungwoo Choi: But my mom is.
going.
Jungwoo Choi: My phone i'm using my data.
Jason Lin: Oh damn okay i'm sure.
Jason Lin: discord or.
Jason Lin: somewhere.
Jason Lin: To look for disco later.
Jason Lin: i'll post up a disco for you after class oh right.
Jason Lin: Okay, so for the monkey.
Jason Lin: assignment what you're going to want to do is not just pose but you're also going to think about the character.
Jason Lin: Movement.
Jason Lin: And you're going to be thinking about not just animating the character, for the sake of the assignment and just not just anime for the sake of enemy right so here's an example that what you want to avoid or not do.
Jason Lin: With.
Jason Lin: And again it's not bulky but it's still four legged creature.
Jason Lin: So you're going to see two different versions of a walk now i'm not saying you have to do a walk through the assignment i'm just like saying whenever you choose to do for this character totally on you, but what you want to avoid is just yeah.
Jason Lin: Having it look like a cut out when it's moving and you want to give it more like hard to believe, but these are the exact same rigs is just that one person.
Jason Lin: didn't utilize all the things with the rig and just basically just moved pegs around the other is using pretty much all the components to really push it.
Jason Lin: Other things other characters you're going to this one.
Jason Lin: So again, this is another rig.
Jason Lin: Animal character, all these are from wealth, crafts, by the way, it's just basically like cycles i've done in the past.
Jason Lin: And it's just pushing.
Jason Lin: The pegs using and hard to believe there's like next to know the former's on this thing.
Jason Lin: All mainly pegs, the only thing that has the farmers, the neck, I think that was it everything else is just peg.
Jason Lin: there's another one again baby Hippo just saying with they don't have you don't have cost, you have to have everything moving all the time, you can always offset you could.
Jason Lin: And it's just really play with the juiciness of it right and do your like research take a look at references of other dogs and try to incorporate that into the rig so when you are posing the character.
Jason Lin: Right you you're going to want to play with all the little things cool thing about this rig right, I need to show you guys earlier when I was like on the prototypes version but, like you can grab one of the toughs and it will.
Jason Lin: give you the second year, you need So if you are going to be entering some secondary you could always muck around with just one tough no move them all, if you want to move one like the tough.
Jason Lin: On its own independently just hit the two times on any of the toughs.
Jason Lin: And then you can easily just think that independently.
Jason Lin: There are the farmers all over so mix between envelope and free form.
Jason Lin: So make use of those so when you are posing a character and again this characters line so it's outline this.
Jason Lin: didn't have time to do the line this version.
Jason Lin: But you can like if you're going to be dealing with the limbs.
Jason Lin: And you're going to do a specific like bend.
Jason Lin: and whatever don't just rotate that and then leave it as is use utilize the the former's.
Jason Lin: give you much better results.
Jason Lin: right when you are.
Jason Lin: posing.
Jason Lin: stupid things okay.
Jason Lin: If there's something that doesn't work with the former don't be afraid to basically create a new asset or a new basically like instance of that PA or whatever, if that works better.
Jason Lin: And just remember.
Jason Lin: Just general anatomy of.
Jason Lin: The dog.
Jason Lin: This limb should never been this way.
Jason Lin: or ankles of the puppy so don't do that.
Jason Lin: And then, for the aws same thing.
Jason Lin: That will never happen because I destroys the poor puppy.
Jason Lin: vince's way.
Jason Lin: You need to make it look right in this angle right you've got all these funny lumps.
Jason Lin: The farmers are for and you're going to re scope.
Jason Lin: Any questions about this.
Jason Lin: And again if you're not sure like how things should move and Ben go to YouTube look up dogs.
Jason Lin: You want to look up this specific dog that I modeled after.
Jason Lin: look up what is it.
Jason Lin: called time detail here, and you should be able to find.
Jason Lin: pretty much something close or just finding your poodle or little white dog just as good.
Sydney Roy: i'm here Jason.
Sydney Roy: yep I sent you a message on discord or an extension.
Sydney Roy: yep did you respond to that please doesn't have to be right now but.
Jason Lin: Yes, I saw your message.
Sydney Roy: yeah okay.
Jason Lin: yeah sorry I got it.
Jason Lin: yeah that's pretty much what you will be doing and animating.
Jason Lin: character has.
Jason Lin: Three months, four months, four months so have fun with it for me come growl you could, if you want to make them just pant you could, so there is a tongue, that you can just grab us at the farmer.
Evine Abbasy: Are we going to be using it for the next time.
Jason Lin: This is this is your second assignment is using this quite so you're going to use a quarter paired So if you have your own quadrupled like break go ahead and use if you want, if you don't you're going to be stuck with monkey and yeah just pose them out in to I would say just to poses.
Jason Lin: To three poses if you want or whatever it was fine.
Jason Lin: And you're going to enemy him into that.
Evine Abbasy: Could he had dialogue.
Jason Lin: To wherever you want go nuts.
Evine Abbasy: Okay awesome thanks.
Jason Lin: back if you wanted to grab something from like the rick and morty episode and just have them just how will get all frustrated go ahead.
Jason Lin: yeah took you what you want to do.
Jason Lin: It tail is a bone to farmer, so a couple things you are and watch out for for this bone.
Jason Lin: If you need to smooth out.
Jason Lin: Like the tail So if you have a bending the opposite direction, and you want to smooth that out, you can easily change the radius so just grab one of these, and you can actually smooth out the radius of it.
Jason Lin: Only caveat on this is if this whatever scale you.
Jason Lin: kind of muck around with with one of the radius it's going to limit how far you can push up the other one so you're gonna have to play with it and see what works.
Jason Lin: And if it all fails just drop anyone.
Jason Lin: But you can actually extend out push down, so this is pretty much how the bone the former will work.
Jason Lin: There you go.
Jason Lin: Any questions.
Jason Lin: No.
Jason Lin: way yeah the Milky Greg is on discord alright score conflate.
Jason Lin: Under week three and if you I already gave you some poses Just to give you an idea how far you can push things.
Jason Lin: i'll be doing poses myself with this character and busy doing the assignment with you.
Jason Lin: So next week have poses ready Okay, then.
Jason Lin: yeah the week after we're going to start anime and that's it.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: And there's no master controller on this right.
Jason Lin: nope bare bones.
Jason Lin: Okay bare bones guys so here you're gonna have to.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Basically.
Jason Lin: yeah you're not gonna be tampered with mask and chosen this one.
Jason Lin: was more of a practical basically assignment where this is close to what you're going to get out in the industry, not every rig is going to be nice and pretty with a mask controller, that you can be like ah awesome keeping all model.
Jason Lin: yeah you will need to use what's there and then figure out how you're going to rotate the rest.
Jason Lin: So I didn't give you some key poses to help you along with that and it's on you to figure out how you can do the rest and get i'm going to show you some tips and tricks next week when i'm doing my own posing.
Jason Lin: Oh yeah this one's gonna be a bit of a challenge because, again, you guys don't, this is the first time you ever animating and posing a quadro paired using a real character, he did draw one rate.
Jason Lin: When the semesters.
Evine Abbasy: model.
Evine Abbasy: But it was like.
Evine Abbasy: it's like a typical rig.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Jason Lin: So yeah you're gonna really want to play with just.
Jason Lin: How the team's bend.
Jason Lin: really keep in mind of the anatomy and.
Jason Lin: yeah feel free to like message me discord if you need help if you're trying to figure things out.
Jason Lin: i'll probably end up doing a walk cycle.
Jason Lin: or this to show you guys how to handle because, again, you guys all have learned to walk cycles, in harmony, but I feel like you guys all learned different approaches and I don't know if how many you guys had me in.
Jason Lin: First, or is it per semester second year, so the 2d ap course.
Jason Lin: I teach it slightly differently.
Jason Lin: So if you had Sarah or anyone else I don't know how they teach the walk cycle, but I just know it's not the same way I teach long cycle.
Jason Lin: So if you guys want to lesson on like our refresher lesson I guess unlock cycles, especially rigs yeah no he's like yeah please.
Evine Abbasy: Could you do a quick one now is it too late.
Jason Lin: 20 minutes sure.
Evine Abbasy: Okay.
Jason Lin: I know hard with a.
Jason Lin: Four legged character, but surely.
Jason Lin: That see where I can do.
Jason Lin: All right.
hey.
Jason Lin: guys are really trusting my like skill set.
Jason Lin: anime with.
Jason Lin: rick characters alright.
Jason Lin: So let's just do this so whenever I deal with any sort of walk.
Jason Lin: When you're dealing with a four legged two legged 10 legged whatever you're going to keep telling would probably be different, but you don't want to ever.
Jason Lin: Take the entire leg and just do this to the legs okay.
Jason Lin: Like everything else i've been showing you to this point work from the ground up break the hierarchy for the legs, especially if one keep them planted.
Jason Lin: right if they're if it's not being planted and they're just when we freely then sure work with the hierarchy so you're.
Jason Lin: The idea is to keep the keys looking as clean as possible on the timeline that's The key thing the key approach to this right the things the parts that you won't have to worry about as much is basically from the torso and up.
Jason Lin: Where you're not going to have to worry about too much of how.
Jason Lin: Things are connected, but for the legs and everything you're going to want to keep them.
Jason Lin: Working in a certain way.
Jason Lin: So what you do is i'll do what I call a shuffle and when I do the shuffle I either.
Jason Lin: Take the feet in the shuffle them or I take the bus and up to the ankle and then shuffled back so what I do is pretty much this.
Jason Lin: Okay, and then same goes for behind legs just.
Jason Lin: Back to here, so I did that.
Jason Lin: When a shuffle.
Jason Lin: i'm.
Jason Lin: gonna go back a little further.
Jason Lin: Right and the first and last key are the same.
Jason Lin: This will guarantee my characters rig.
Jason Lin: feet, are going to stay planted all the way through right if you do it any other way you're going to be basically tracking and adjusting every frame just to keep the feet planted that's more of a pain in the butt, in my opinion.
Jason Lin: So that's I don't do it that way i'm going to just adjust this here.
Jason Lin: push this back further.
Jason Lin: Lots of the same So there we go there's our last shuffled we got going on.
Jason Lin: Just alright so again the general shuffle is one part.
Jason Lin: Now testing whether or not this thing will actually plant is another okay.
Jason Lin: So, once you have the shuffled down what you want to see is Kenny, will the feet stay planted.
Jason Lin: So I usually do a quick test for that don't just push everything out.
Jason Lin: So what I do is I have my master peg my key.
Jason Lin: And I will copy and paste this over and over again, a couple times.
Jason Lin: And i'm just going to just play it out, so what you want to see is if feet stay planted right so good truck Milan.
Jason Lin: So what you're what you're actually looking out for.
Jason Lin: Is.
Jason Lin: Take one of the pause right and when it's dragging back you want to make sure that that stays planted that's what you're looking for.
Jason Lin: and probably didn't have to go that far, but anyways.
Jason Lin: So see how I took the whole character rick I push oh Dan i'm looking at this lake here this one highlighted.
Jason Lin: that's these planted we know that's working.
Jason Lin: And it singles for this thing right so every time it's stepping we know that's working.
Jason Lin: we're going to do so right now.
Jason Lin: The hind legs, are the ones that are kind of sliding a bit.
Jason Lin: So, then, I gotta go back and go Okay, I clearly didn't push that leg far enough right.
Jason Lin: Is it dragging behind like so So what do I need to do.
Jason Lin: So this is where a little bit of trial and error.
Jason Lin: comes into play.
Jason Lin: The so if you're finding that is moving so if it's moving for like this.
Jason Lin: It means you push too far forward I believe right so he's got pushed back, but.
Jason Lin: let's go find that sweet spot.
Jason Lin: Is it for back now i'm now i'm getting confused.
Jason Lin: Forward Oh, maybe this, for I like so yeah there we go.
Jason Lin: So we have that working.
Jason Lin: So, then, I can actually just take this key paste it over here here and here just to double check that the one that's working there we are and yeah.
Jason Lin: And that is what we want, so again this you're basically figuring out where and how you want this thing to plant right.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: push that way too far.
Jason Lin: yeah.
Jason Lin: hi store down guidelines guidelines always help.
Jason Lin: We just got to make sure that stays in that spot.
Jason Lin: earlier.
Jason Lin: There we go.
Jason Lin: That in theory.
Jason Lin: Good.
Jason Lin: work for all those brains oh heard my late go yeah okay look.
Jason Lin: There we are so it's all planted right yay so then now we got the plant, we can then remove this so just hide it we don't need.
Jason Lin: That twin because we know that's going to work, you know everything else will work, we can then focus on just from one to.
Jason Lin: 21 to 20 I can blow these ope has will end up cycling again anyway, so the grunt work the hard part works that's the hard part right, so now we got that going down can actually work out everything else.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: What are you going to play with you're going to play with the joints you're going to get everything.
Jason Lin: Moving the way it should.
Jason Lin: we're going to use your performers you're going to use all sorts of fun stuff to kind of connect that and make this.
Jason Lin: work.
Jason Lin: Hopefully this all makes sense.
Jason Lin: For them okay.
Jason Lin: You guys like really tested my.
Jason Lin: geez.
Jason Lin: Never had to work this hard.
Jason Lin: You know, while it's really getting your money's worth here okay so.
Jason Lin: That I don't need this anymore.
Jason Lin: So legs are.
Jason Lin: already doing them back dancing around.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: cheerleader.
Jason Lin: Oh awesome thanks.
Jason Lin: For a second just persist back behind the body and then turn this back on.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: again.
Jason Lin: So then that's the reason behind yay okay so then now we have the lock legs all working what we're going to do next is work on the lifts so.
Jason Lin: front leg instead of it just shuffling that should lift up and over eight so we're going to go to dream to hear like actually not in the whole thing I just need to centered on selection focus on that front PA.
Jason Lin: f6 there.
Jason Lin: Okay, what i'm going to do here is because we're going to be working with the hierarchy at this point i'm going to just reset it.
Jason Lin: Why it's going to make things easier to rotate otherwise, because then, if it's not because again we've broken the hierarchy if we don't reset this and you're going to try to make it work you're going to fall into a pit of.
Jason Lin: constantly trying to readjust and attach that joint if we reset it on that frame to.
Jason Lin: Now everything's going to work nicely, on the joint.
Jason Lin: Right so it's planning ahead and working smart, not so much about working hard and wasting a lot of energy just matching things up.
Jason Lin: And I can assure you, if you start working like this and you get hired somewhere they're going to love you and but then that also puts you in a place where you're going to be the person that does all the cycles.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: And a lot of people dread cycles.
Jason Lin: heck I dread cycle, I can I dread cycles like a good chunk of my career as a class please don't get me do cycles and then.
Jason Lin: for whatever reason, they kept gave me two cycles, because they figured out the technical way of working and they're like yeah you just do move so fast.
Jason Lin: And then I end up being our sex keeps doing cycles it got to a point, eventually just love doing cycles, but, at the beginning, I was just like he'll please don't please, please don't.
Jason Lin: don't don't know gas me and then yeah like just end up doing a whole bunch.
Jason Lin: They can see right there is my so this second frame is where you're going to stop bullet right going out of it but you're going to want to create.
Jason Lin: here.
Jason Lin: Look at that and look how clean, that is so far i'm not going crazy trying to pepper it with so many like keyframes So if I just.
Jason Lin: Right and I did that in pretty short time now i'm going to the other so going to the other, but again, you just repeat the steps right, so I did the one going to the next.
Jason Lin: So this one here is going to just fall back, which is fine it's from 10 to 20 is where you're going to change and get the lyft to work on this high leg.
Jason Lin: So that's where you're going to go trying to f6 clean it middle and you want, like the middle thing here so keyframe print do that and we're going to just reset anything that we.
Jason Lin: Set up before.
Jason Lin: So we're just making sure, everything is clean reset any performers.
Jason Lin: have five minutes oh my gosh.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: hey Jason I have a quick question.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Is there a way to reset like all the deformities at the same time.
Jason Lin: Like all these.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Are I mean like on like one limb there's like multiple points you can select all of them and then reset them.
Jason Lin: yeah same time just put over here show you so if I did something like.
Jason Lin: Or why not right it's like a I gotta reset this poor thing select one the handles it be reset.
Jason Lin: Oh POPs it up in place.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: That make sense, make sense.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Okay.
Jason Lin: So yeah.
Jason Lin: In case you guys missed that do that one more time.
Jason Lin: Right so whatever the performers are doesn't matter right you just have to select one of the handles hit be so that what it's actually doing is.
Jason Lin: I know you're there.
Jason Lin: it's basically like selecting the whole group of it, and then a reset everything.
Jason Lin: that's again all these pro little tricks and tips going on here.
Jason Lin: What am I doing.
Jason Lin: That is posted Hello glad it's not supposed to do that i'm.
Jason Lin: going to adjust obviously that the former.
Jason Lin: make it work better in the air.
Jason Lin: And it goes into a band.
Jason Lin: or I hope i'm just going to grab the same one because it gets this the reason we're grabbing this than just copying that one just because the fact that i've already said everything they're not going to reset it again.
Jason Lin: Working smart that's much working hard.
Jason Lin: And stamps his foot down no don't do that.
Jason Lin: happening didn't collapse it whoops.
Jason Lin: I need to readjust some stuff there but anyway.
Jason Lin: That one looks broken yay.
Jason Lin: So you got two legs down two minutes to go oh my gosh.
Jason Lin: Like I make.
Jason Lin: racing against the clock, which I am but yeah hopefully you guys are understanding this right is this helping please say it has.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: I can, I can always just look back on.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Oh also before class and I wanted to say in the announcements, you were like I put a new head head turned tutorial thing right.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: I tried to watch it but it's just audio.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: So just me.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: cuz you're like it's I fixed it and I was like oh.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: it's just.
Jason Lin: Really.
Jason Lin: yeah hold up hold up hold up no way I did a whole tutorial.
Jason Lin: Oh, all right, let me just double check that.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: No freakin way.
Jason Lin: That sucks.
Jason Lin: Because it oh wait no it's not a video tutorial, mind you, but that just did not update.
Jason Lin: Was it under we to where they do it.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: it's an extra.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: called head turns.
Jason Lin: Why is it still a video it's also be a video okay what you're supposed to get.
Jason Lin: frustrating all right i'm gonna have to let me show you guys.
Jason Lin: yeah i'll continue doing this walk later i'll do the other half of the walk.
Jason Lin: offline.
But.
Jason Lin: We do.
Jason Lin: breaks.
Jason Lin: At turn lesson Okay, this is what you supposed to see.
Jason Lin: Better lesson and is there a seal this.
Jason Lin: Okay, and what it is it's.
Jason Lin: A step by step.
Jason Lin: By file of the head turn.
Jason Lin: don't even save it no Of course not, why would I.
Jason Lin: have our.
Jason Lin: lesson at turn lesson all right.
Jason Lin: So.
Jason Lin: You guys are trying to learn how to deal with a head turn.
Jason Lin: I broke it down into.
Jason Lin: sections.
Jason Lin: And how it works is you have these color basic markers or you see markers and what you're going to use, you can Double Click on the worker and it's going to tell you, and give you a note right, this is just posing.
Jason Lin: happy to explain here, but to pose your first key and lex laskey right so i'm just going through there and that's posing the next set you go into auto tween it's exactly that is just auto tweens and you get the broken paper Mario thing going on.
Jason Lin: The next site when you Double Click on there now has a little bit more information right and it's just basically setting up the fix and then what I did so it's going to mark out and tell you exactly what I copied and pasted and I just copied this piece of in so it's the same thing.
Jason Lin: So the basically the POP the paper Mario effect is happening at a shorter distance right.
Jason Lin: And then keep going.
Jason Lin: there's a whole other thing there and it's just working out the breakdowns so getting this happening.
Jason Lin: But as you keep going just keep double clicking on each of the sections of the color markers and then just read the description that's in there and then, finally, we get to the end it's a nice smooth looking turn.
Jason Lin: videos tutorial but it breaks down basically the keys, and the Sections I did it in within see markers okay.
Jason Lin: I will update that I guess on your section on a wide only updated the one.
Jason Lin: yeah.
Jason Lin: well.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Thanks Jason.
Jason Lin: yep um but yeah I will do the second half of it, but hopefully like yeah just rewatch.
Jason Lin: This entire tutorial but yeah you can see the walk is working.
Jason Lin: If I were to put this.
Jason Lin: You can already see starting to work in right so that's how you would do the was my version of how I would do the walk it's.
Jason Lin: worked out for most people I can't say it's going to work for all.
Jason Lin: Because again it's not the easiest way of thinking, because you're reverse engineering what you would naturally normally do with hand drawn where you just like.
Jason Lin: You draw it out feel it out and so forth, and you're used to having move locomotive Lee where it's moving forward right and and for kinematic we are doing a treadmill effect has the treadmill in general.
Jason Lin: is more universal than something that is moving in forward, because if you have to let's say in production, if the background is panning.
Jason Lin: And you wanted to.
Jason Lin: Have the character.
Jason Lin: anime on that pan and if the character is moving forward, you always have to like move that you have to track with it with a camera right, but if it's.
Jason Lin: doing the treadmill effect like what we have going on here, you really just keep the camera static in the background and just paying it behind it.
Jason Lin: Right you don't have to do as much work because, and then, when it comes to soul and then thing is, you can animate this on ones or twos and i'll show you guys next week, if you guys want to see more of this walk in action and, like with a background that messed up thing, so if your.
Jason Lin: animations on tues and you're panning with it you're going to notice strobing a lot more versus if the characters on tues in the background is on ones panning you won't see the strobing.
Jason Lin: it's a weird optical illusion and it gets called quite often, so I find this version or way of approaching a walk is way more universal than let's say you doing one that walks across the screen already.
Jason Lin: Okay.
Jason Lin: well.
Jason Lin: that's it and yeah if you guys have any questions or anything feel free to message me on discord or email me or whatever.
Jason Lin: So let's take guys wow this is.
Eleanor (Nori) Kawasaki: Nice.
Jason Lin: I got through so much more with this class they did last yesterday.
Jason Lin: So anyways that's cool.
Thanks guys.
Krysta Burgess: Thanks Jason.
Jason see ya.
