Practicing animating with a rig

 


Thomas and Nadia gave me their rig from their short film Citizen202 for LAUAN503, so that I could practice animating with a non human rig. It was very easy to use and I found it interesting using knee joints. I haven't used knee joints before now, because the MOOM rig follows the foot position. I also didn't know that you can outline your models in Maya, which is something i would like to learn. They do that in RWBY, which has the kind of style and motion I would like to make. 
I have had a few attempts at animal walks before now, and I felt that a few of them went well but a few were quite stiff. Having the ability to move any frame and it altering the previous ones justly was a good practice for me. I also found it interesting how to alter the animal walk slightly to fit the mechanisms in the creature. 
Overall, I think this went well, but I think my next steps should be modelling in Maya and Blender for myself, learning rigging and possibly how to avoid clipping (such as clothed characters)
