Description
Character rig: Moom, version (I think) 3, by Ramtin Ahmadi, probably from [link]Animation and let's-call-it-a-story by me.
This is my first ever (excluding some absolutely useless, never finished tests, when I learned what things I should never ever touch in this program) character animation done in Maya. Amazing.
It quite sucks, blah, blah, I know.
And, there is technically no facial animation, just posed features varying between body poses, but the rig had really useless facial controls (not that I'm some kind of an expert, though) and it was getting late, and it was Maya, too, which is quite horrible.
And, there are some inbetweens missing, but when I smoothed it out using graph editor, it sucked even more. So it's actually still in blocking stage.
I still like some parts of it despite all of the above, though.
I feel I should say, however, that it's one nice character rig and I think the body controllers for this guy were quite awesome and rig was really cool to work with and great thanks to the author.
Who will never read this anyway.

I used the Maya on the computers at my University. You can't get Maya for free by any legal means.
Unless you are a student- then you can maybe download Maya Personal Learning Edition from Autodesk website, but I have no idea how to do it.

Sure, pretend that nothing happened. I can't save my lost mental balance, but I can at least fight for unsuspecting others...
...until its too late and they realise the terrible freudian truth.
Okay, I have no idea if you are being serious now or it's still part of the same conversation, so maybe i should mention that i'm only joking. Just in case.

After all noooo-s and aaarghs, I settled down a bit and started to wonder if nobody else has thought of it that way before, or they all just don't want to demolish my so charmingly naive innocence.
Okay, come on, it's not about that. It's all just about BALLS.
(see what you did to me?)

Thank you, hah. Walk is one of those things i actually like about it; maybe I should make them do all this magic and also to randomly walk around, all in the same time.

zaskakująca płynność ruchów, who a.
Ty się uczysz w jakiejś szkole animacji czy to wszystko tak hobbistycznie?
Chociaż zgaduje że szkoła jakaś bo Maya to jednak kawał drogiego i profesjonalnego softu.
chyba, że wersja jakaś do uczenia się darmowa.
Tak czy siak ogromnie miło patrzeć na te twoje animacje.

ucze sie, tak; jest chyba darmowa wersja edukacyjna mayi, ale zdaje sie, ze tak czy inaczej wymagaja podania nazwy szkoly albo czegos takiego, zeby ja sciagnac. No i nie wiem, czy nie zostawia jakiegos watermarka na wyeksportowanym filmie mimo wszystko.
no i wielkie dzieki, tak poza tym

awesome! Even though it's still in the blocking stages, it still looks kinda cool with the jittery motion. Good job.

rany, dobra rzecz! rzeczywiście brakuje trochę płynności, ale dynamika i tempo masz złapane świetnie .
Widzę, że zdecydowanie idziesz w animację, nie tylko 2d

No, ide, ide, i powoli staram sie rowniez wprowadzac lokcie do uzytku
zawsze chcialam sprobowac animacji 3d, bo uwazam, ze dobrze jest umiec sie nia poslugiwac, ale najwazniejsza rzecza, jakiej sie nauczylam podczas pracy nad powyzszym... dzielem... to to, ze jak na razie zamierzam walczyc z pazurami, zeby nie musiec sie wiecej zblizac do tego programu.
ale jestem pewna, ze ja i maya rozstalysmy sie w zgodzie.

I really adore your "animated sketches" and I'm hoping that I´ll see some of your work finished, refined, some day. Your work is worth it.
