<br />
A while back, you passed away. But your spirit and memory will retain on earth.<br />
<br />
I remember the first time I saw you, you didn't run away, instead, you came to me, leaned against me, touched me with your tail. You also purred, that was just so cute.<br />
<br />
I am a typical dog lover, I used to have cats, but for some reasons they didn't like me, they either ran away or ignored me. I felt generally distant from cats. But you changed my view for cats. They can be fun and lovable as long as you are with the right person. And, yes I AM the right person, I felt so happy. So that made you the first cat who loved me.<br />
<br />
They say you would ran away when strangers came, but it was a miracle to see you like this, to me. I also remembered when I was going to leave, you appeared from nowhere and started follow me around. Couldn't take my hands off you when something like that happens.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tGIYAh6Mq18/T4mVAM7Wx5I/AAAAAAAAAlM/75wtGd6CEzI/s1600/Untitled+picture.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tGIYAh6Mq18/T4mVAM7Wx5I/AAAAAAAAAlM/75wtGd6CEzI/s640/Untitled+picture.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hi everyone, recently I came across an idea of 'recreating' Eadweard Muybridge's Locomotion, in 3D, which I call it '<a href="http://themuybridgeproject.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><u style="color: #0b5394;"><b>The Muybridge Project</b></u></a>'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Ok, the idea behind this project is to create 3D animation cycles base on Muybridge's locomotion plates. There are three volumes in Muybridge's Complete Human and Animal Locomotion series, and I am going to mainly focus on volume III - animals' locomotion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The reason for that is because for the first two volumes, the focus of locomotion is human. For animators who need references, they can do pretty much everything that the books illustrate. Whereas for animal locomotion, it is quite a challenge to find valuable references.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My ultimate goal for this project is that each week I will pick one plate from volume III, analyse the motion and create a 3D animation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Additionally, a purpose of doing this is for me to better understand animal body mechanics in a way to improve my animation skills as well as educate others.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554226392144674658.post-63633096883105772522012-03-22T03:50:00.004+11:002012-03-26T02:43:08.839+11:00Animation Contest - 11secondclub March 2012<span style="font-size: large;">Hey guys, this is my first time entering animation contest for 11secondclub.

The experience is incredible.<br />
Due to the heavy workload, I had insufficient time for AnimationMentor.<br />
<br />
Now, I am officially graduated from AM but I feel my showreel is incomplete. Well, I will keep working on it after this job.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, AM has offered some new characters that I can use, and hopefully I can use them for my next short film which is...(well, still in my head). ;)<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for further information. ^^<br />

It also means you will have to animate that extra 20 frames for the sake of your main shots. This way, it will ensure your shot doesn't have a dead start or dead end, since there are shots before and after yours.<br /><br />Another important factor is that in this way it will make sure you won't have weird motion blur in the final production, think about your shot end at frame 100, and your character is jumping, so what's going to happen to the motion blur at 100 if there is no more frames after it?(if you know how motion blur is created)<br /><br />Cheers.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554226392144674658.post-56085640097020834202011-02-24T20:42:00.003+11:002012-10-21T11:18:12.533+11:00add or remove keyframes MEL in Maya<b><span style="color: red;">UPDATED 10/2012: see below for the updates.</span></b><br />
<br />
Hi guys, I have been using this method for a while now, and I have found it quite useful. So I thought it could be a salient idea to share with you guys as well as for future reference so that I can find it. :D<br />
<br />
So let's get started. Firstly, Let me introduce the following MEL code:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">timeSliderEditKeys addInbetween;</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">timeSliderEditKeys removeInbetween;</span><br />
<br />
So, its very straight forward, the first line is adding a frame, the second one is removing a frame.<br />
<br />
Next, let's make a button on a shelf.<br />
1. create a new shelf or use the existing one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4iTlax7RcA8/T3Z7mKPveuI/AAAAAAAAAkE/stzz9R09bUU/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CArKNRh2xDo/T3Z7mh9up7I/AAAAAAAAAkI/dSoyTU1vqUI/s1600/2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CArKNRh2xDo/T3Z7mh9up7I/AAAAAAAAAkI/dSoyTU1vqUI/s1600/2.png" /></a><br />
<br />
2. open up script editor, copy and past the code above to the editor<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-z3NHCL4Aw/T3Z7bbs7jNI/AAAAAAAAAj8/okdZBanDTiU/s1600/3.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S-z3NHCL4Aw/T3Z7bbs7jNI/AAAAAAAAAj8/okdZBanDTiU/s320/3.png" width="320" /></a> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. select one line,and hold MMB(middle mouse button) and drag the code to the shelf, save as MEL script.<br />
4. select the other line, and do the same as above.<br />
5. change names, I usually name it as '+key' and '-key'.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4iTlax7RcA8/T3Z7mKPveuI/AAAAAAAAAkE/stzz9R09bUU/s1600/1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4iTlax7RcA8/T3Z7mKPveuI/AAAAAAAAAkE/stzz9R09bUU/s640/1.png" width="520" /></a> <br />
6. done!<br />
<br />
Tips:<br />
when you animate a shot, if you want to adjust the timing of one particular part, then remember to select <span style="font-weight: bold;">all </span>the controls and then add or remove frames. This way, you won't mess up with your keyframes and other timing.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

<br />
Let's make a shortcut for this one. (faster workflow)<br />
<br />
Step 1: click->Window->Settings/Pref ->Hotkey editor<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0cr-F2pzELU/UIM7gnt6PjI/AAAAAAAAAso/_RsqVwKPu6Q/s1600/Picture+11.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0cr-F2pzELU/UIM7gnt6PjI/AAAAAAAAAso/_RsqVwKPu6Q/s400/Picture+11.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Create a new Hotkey by click 'New', input values as shown below for the add inbetweens, same process for remove inbetweens.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Assign new hotkey, This is your part to fill in, depend on what hotkeys you feel right. for me I'd like to use 'Option' + d(for Mac), or 'Alt' + d (for PC) for adding inbetweens, and 'option' + s, or 'Alt' + s for remove inbetweens. Sometimes Maya tells you the Hotkey is already assigned to something else, if you find that you will never use that you can replace it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4lTDBYaXHt4/UIM8BIRh-cI/AAAAAAAAAsw/jIGrR9x8vbE/s1600/Picture+12.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4lTDBYaXHt4/UIM8BIRh-cI/AAAAAAAAAsw/jIGrR9x8vbE/s640/Picture+12.png" width="638" /></a></div>
<br />
This process will fastern your animation workflow. Similarly if you want to assign a Hotkey to open Outliner, you can do so by adding <b><span style="color: yellow;">OutlinerWindow;</span> </b>to the Command area then create a new Hotkey (I use Alt + b)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
