- Drawing ellipses in perspective.
- Using basic forms to improve structure.
- Creating objects like planes, cubes and spheres.
- Manipulating objects and setting keys.
- Making a movie of your animation with play-blasting.
This is a simple beginner rig used in the first animation classes. We use this for learning to animate simple physics and basic puppet acting
This is used for intermediate assignments later in the first term. ANC students learn basic balance and weight shift along with simple pantomime acting using this character rig.
The Ray Rig (version 2018-10-02, last downloaded 2020-01-27)
We use rigs like this in the final semester to practice lip sync and facial performance. There are a lot of controls here to discover. Start with the simpler assets first before you attempt to work with Ray.
Thanks for coming out today - this page is available anytime for review. I hope to see you in class someday soon
