So this week I'm wrapping up our new assignment: Stewie changes direction while running. My plot for this assignment was to have Stewie run and then skid to a halt and scramble to avoid falling blocks. So far so good.
Last Thursday (3/11) I took TeamBondi's animation test. I'll admit, I don't think I did that well as I had some timing issues that I couldn't quite nail down before I ran out of time. I'd chalk it up to inexperience working in 60FPS, but I've worked in 30FPS and I should have known what to do.
Last Friday (3/12) I received my animation test from Gearbox and I have to admit, I've been looking forward to it. While the test has to be taken in Max *inward groan* I have found relearning the program to be enjoyable in the fact that I'm reaquiring some software skills. I get to animate the Skag from Borderlands, and I have to admit this is what I was hoping the test was. 3 Animations: Run cycle, Warning before attacking, and a Melee. I have them all planned out in my head, but at this point I feel I may be a tad behind schedule as I have only blocked out poses on one of the animations. Back to work with me!!
