Animation = posing and timing

Hai pals...am back!!

and wishing you "All the best for all your attempts".


At this post i would love to share my views on rig(ging)s and posing .


I am trying out some rigs. from http://www.11secondclub.com/resources/
Understanding the controls are big problems!? and we have to very familiar with that controls.
(spend some time to understand the actor and their capabilities)
unfortunately we can’t standardize these due to many factors involved , many different minds
and ect.,also depends on the story to act/perform .
The rigger has to adapt their Skills+ R&D.(It is possible In production pipeline ) sometimes
i too feel little hesitation to try when comparing to animate.
I tried few interesting poses which I admire from the acting greatness Thiru.SivajiGanesan
and many others((long list) (golden age of Tamil Cinema Industry ))with "Max for Maya" rig
a.here is the thumbnail sketch(before posing)
b.Poesed at Maya using Max
c.Lets check out the Silhouettes
I think those poses are telling the story, i am personally happy with my attempts and i really got what i wannted.
