amrit

can u plz tell me any reference on
pelvis movement hip rotation as i think most of the animation start from pelvic region. Actually i m trying to animate a 180 degree turn. So i want to study the things like weight shift and so.

Hey! Glad you like them. :)

I'm not too sure about video references on pelvis/hip rotation. You could try these...

BBC Motion Gallery

High-Speed Video Clips

YouTube

And of course you can use a simple webcam to shoot out an action.

Thats all I use! Hope this helps. ;)

Howdy,

Thanks for chiming in. :)
Its not Time Machine, its called "Tween Machine". Yep, its a great little tool. Keith Lango loves it and so do I. Thanks to Justing Barret for the great script.

That MonkeyShuffle script is a property of Keith Lango, and I'm not sure if I'm suppose to distribute it for free. I hope you understand. :|

Hey, this ezMark thingy looks great. Though, I like to use my good-old dry erase marker. It works great every time, and saves me time! ;)

Cheers!

i understand

its ok buddy

tell me how to export & import frame as image in maya so that i can i can work on timing.

Amrit Derhgawen said...

Hey there!

You preview render your Keys and primary breakdown drawings/images.... Import the images into MonkeyJam... Then you're all set to play with your timing :)

Now my workflow has changed a bit (technically). I like to spend a good amount of time in 2d and time it out in FlipBook. So, at the time when I get into Maya, I know my timing, poses, etc.


One more thing, Vaibhav...

This is a comment section of my blog, and I expect blog-post related discussions here. So lets not use it as a general forum or a Q&A space. If you have any doubts/questions regarding animation or if you wanna say "hi!", please feel free to contact me on amritrd {AT} hotmail [DOT] com. I'll try my best to reply as soon as possible.

Cheers and keep animating! :)
