Burl,

Any particular reason you want to change to one of those courses? Your paintings are excellent, so it would interesting to see those skills applied to animation. If I was better at it, I’d love to do illustration. Get that blog going again man!

Tony,

He has no eyes either, so I couldn’t even place him behind the wheel of an automatic. I really didn’t think this through.

Great work man! I’m thinking of dropping my fine art course and trying for illustration or animation. :O

I may do an article on how 3D animation actually works. Basically for a character you have an invisible skeleton inside the model, called a rig, which you allows you to control each limb individually (move, rotate, etc). You then just adjust the positioning at the appropriate times (frames) on the timeline.

Yet another very interesting blog. I am amazed with the ‘boy’ walking how do you do it? I must get Julie to look at your blog if she is not doing so already.

P.S. Good(or sad)to see my ignorance has influenced comment.

Nice spot on the neck crushing in that sketch! I didn’t realise. I could try a swim cycle and a cycle cycle. I plan to try out a few different cycles over Christmas perhaps.

Might try and find an animal rig too, to see how hard it is to animate 4 legs (apparently a horse is the ultimate in walk cycles).

I hope Richard is managing to comprehend walk cycle as an animation term, maybe you should animate a walk, swim, cycle? This is more than a passing resemblance to your walk, the change in head height through a walk cycle is interesting, there seems to be rather a lot of compression on the neck in your sketch for the down position, this can't be healthy.
