I’m in the computer lab at school right now, once again working on my ZeroG animation. I’ve never put so much time into an animation before; I’m excited to see how it turns out, but it has been a daunting project. I’m hoping to have it finished enough to submit it to the spring show.
I have all the main animation blocked out on the character, now I’m working on blocking out the food. I’m creating reference curves for each piece of food to help get a natural looking arc as they fall and then bounce around. Once I’ve got that finished, I’ll finish blocking in the facial and hand motions. After that I’ll have some minor adjustments to make, then I should be able to convert all my curves from stepped to smooth. At that point I get to dive into the graph editor and tweak all the curves like a mad man.
I’m not sure how much I’ll get done today, but hopefully I’ll get to the point where I can convert the curves so I can adjust all those tomorrow.
I feel pretty good at the moment, I’m fairly focused though a bit tired. I’d rather be working on some personal projects today, but homework it is. By the by, it’s another wonderful day in San Francisco. The weather has been amazing the last two days. I’ll probably take a lunch break in an hour or so and sit in the park.
