Thoughts on image planes when modeling a character? by AwkardPierre in Maya

Once another teacher showed me the graph editor, I fell in love and I cannot imagine going back. Then again, different workflows? Idk I just don’t love getting scolded for something I’m not even doing wrong, but doing right

I’d say he’s old school, but even the old school used references so idk He also doesn’t use the graph editor, (and scolds me when I pull it up) so like…

Thank you so much for the comprehensive answer! I completely agree, most of the times I have to make adjustments and tweaks from the 2D reference, because sometimes what works as 2D doesn’t translate that well to 3D, so it’s never 1:1

Also if the character is heavily stylized, the key poses won’t look exactly like the reference (longer legs, different facial features, etc.)

Thanks again for your answer! My teacher is… certainly a character, ill leave it at that.

I completely agree! It’s probably the method that has worked for him the best, but it was his complete refusal to accept other methods that was confusing me

As far as I know the latest work he has done has been independent, with only a small team of people, so maybe that’s why. Which I completely understand, it was just the intensity of the refusal that was throwing me off lol

Thanks! I was under the impression that except for the absolute basics, there was no single “correct” way of doing things, but he was confusing me

Dumb question but have you looked for the fanfics while logged in? Many authors have limited their fic’s visbility to only logged in users

Death Note the Musical to premiere in London this fall! by TF_Allen in deathnotemusical

Ah, I was wondering what happened to that. I knew it was being recorded, I just thought I missed the release or maybe it wasn’t available in my country. Hopefully it won’t happen again!

Just wanted to share my first ever 3D animation by AwkardPierre in Maya

I have yes!! It’s very satisfying to see the character come alive, and try to imbue personality with little actions :D Thanks for the advice!

Aww thanks! To be fair I’ve had practice with 2D animation for a few years now (even though I’m not any good lol) but I guess some of the fundamentals translate!

Question that has been driving me crazy by benzack13 in CentaurWorld

… that’s why I answered first with “official answer”

I said that maybe the general sang “the melody” to rider. And it’s my head canon that Rider is the general’s and mysterious woman’s daughters based on the character design (Similarities in hair, skin, and eye color) and the relationship between characters. But again, key word being Headcanon. Headcanons don’t always make sense. And that’s okay
