Character Anim8ion

 Hi mak,
 Good idea. !!
 I'll do that too.  Might even add some gym equipment later on. ;)
 First i'd like to get this 'showing weight' thing sorted.
 I can show weight with things like 'concrete blocks falling to the floor', but showing in a character is a bit more tricky.
 At times i'm wondering how possible it will be, using FK animation.
 After looking at some examples made using IK, i notice that a lot of the main movement is in the hips. Thats easy with IK, you can drag the hips downwards and the feet stay firmly planted to the floor.
 Not so easy with FK. Even bending legs requires repostioning feet every time. I've been trying different rig setups, to try and get a sequence, but might hav to use scene mode, and repostion feet with the 'position' key.
 But i'll persevere.   ;D

Well, mak... It's a perfect excersize for those needing to working on their skinning skills... Just a little drasctic to do this everyday and not even save it.

johnar:
 Personally, i really like the idea, but think i'd be inclined to save 'weekly'.

mak:  What i'll probly do is start Sunday, and try to do an hour of exercises every day, and render out the best one of each day. Then, on the next Sunday, choose my favourite render, save that, and get rid of the rest. (1 final render per week)
 If I/we, could keep up that commitment for 6 months or more, we gotta be getting better.  ;)

  I'm Prepared for some 'frustrations', but the end goal will be worth it.
 Just a thought to add. Although we are using an FK system, it wont be wasted time if/when we move to an IK system. Theres a lot more to animating characters than just  posing  the figures, so anything we can learn now is bound to put us at a good start if/when switching to an IK system.
 I like the idea of 'exercising exercises', and you're welcome to share this thread with your stuff. (if you want to). We might even be able to help each other out.
 Its all good.  ;D

mak:
this IS proving harder than i thought, several exercises a day aint gona happen. and the more i try this the more nessesary i think it is, for me at least, couse i suck.
