You'll Learn
-
Basics Optimized for 3D AnimationBased on an understanding of basic animation elements, we will use Maya, a 3D animation tool, to develop basic skills so that we can experience practical animation areas in advance. -
Basic Animation Using Rigging AssetsBy directly animating basic examples such as Ball, Tail Ball, and Pendulum, but containing points that are divided into living and non-living objects, we learn the mechanisms of each object according to vitality and material. -
Understanding and Practicing Character Walk Cycle AnimationThrough walking animation, an essential element of character animation, we will understand the structural parts of the human body and learn beats and poses that highlight the character's personality or situation.
-
Understanding and Practicing Character Run Cycle AnimationLearn essential poses and principles according to time and flow, such as the beginning, middle, and end, which are the most difficult for animators, and check the differences between walking animation and running animation. -
Body Animation Production Process Using ReferencesWe will reveal a method to express a character's natural movement and weight through body animation, and a practical pipeline that expresses animation principles using prepared references. -
How to Express Character Animation Using SoundIn addition to acting and actions suited to the character's personality, you will learn planning, poses, timing, lip sync, facial animation, etc. appropriate for the sound source, and learn how to express yourself effectively and stylishly.
