In George’s Maya course, I learned The 12 Principles of Animation and made many short animations, which made me more aware of how to make more vivid animations. I learned a lot from the basic animation course, which also gave me the ability to make better animated short films.

‘Pendulum rig’ Modification Suggestion

This lesson starts with an introduction to the 12 principles of animation.

Then the teacher showed us a lot of reference videos and told us that what we should refer to most is the real experiment rather than the animation made by others.

Then the teacher commented on the little ball-bouncing homework I had done after the last class. My homework is mainly the spacing problem when the ball bounces, and the rotation problem. Do not rotate the y and z axes when doing the ball bounce.

After the teacher gave suggestions for modification, I went home to make modifications and integrated the process.

This week begins with a welcome talk, a quick get to know each other, and then some simple animation rules and ball movements.

In class, the teacher said that it is necessary to spend more time to prepare a clear idea before making 3d animation, rather than start to make animation. Therefore, I made a 2D animation before making 3D animation, so as to fully understand the movement law of the ball.

After finishing the 2D animation and animation preparation, I started the 3D animation production. It is mainly to set the motion curve of the ball moving y.
