Big Dog Animation




This is the video animation of Big Dog. In this tutorial we were supposed to learn some of the basics of shifting weight in animating. This is a video that shows what I'm supposed to do, which is basically animate what the dog does when he gets kicked from a side.

Err.. This tutorial was fairly simple again. We sort of learn how to set the major key points for each legs. This is an important part of animation, setting the major keypoints to indicate the highest or lowest point an object should move. Then I also rotated the body a little to give it a sort of staggering feel. During this tutorial, I was also taught how to manipulate the graph editor. Although it look extremely complicated.. It is actually REALLY REALLY Complicated. I had to mess around with it and do several saves in case I screwed things up big time. At the end of the day, I could confidently say that I have understood about 5% of what the graph editor can do =D
