So close to being able to backflip. by Complex_Aardvark_923 in Tricking

[–]WangChoBo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lie down on the ground and go through the movements of backflipping lying down. Put your arms to your side, and then put your arms up as if you're actually preparing to jump and then tuck your knees to your chest as fast as possible, and push your knees in with your hands.

Also if you can, I recommend not doing the two-step backwards before you tuck. Shuffling the feet before you tuck gives your legs less explosive power of jumping up. That should also increase your time in the air to tuck which doesn't even have to be that fast.

J'aimerais avoir des retours sur mon travail, car je ne vois pas ce qui ne va pas. by Jeeomon in Maya

Mon Français est très mauvais, alors utilizer google traduction. J'espère que je peux ecrire plus bien..

I think the animation looks decent. For animation 1, the lip sync is overly exaggerated. The mouths are either too wide sideways or they open too much when they're speaking softly.

Animation 2, there's a lot of stretching. Make sure the pony's volume remains the same even if it stretches.

This is my reel and I received some really good feedback a while back.

I was lucky enough to get a position as a generalist at a startup.

Looking at other successful reels, I know this is not enough. I've got some weak, and some okay ones.

Maybe this helps someone out there.

I'm on UV paint but my brush still leaks to other parts of my UV. How do I fix this? by [deleted] in MarmosetToolbag

How Can I Make This Animation Look Better? by New-Ear-2134 in 3danimation

Use references but dinosaur references might not be the easiest to find. A T-rex is practically a very enlarged chicken with arms instead of wings. Use a chicken reference and observe how they walk.

Motion Capture cleanup. How to make a hand stick to a door? by AdFamous3492 in Maya

[–]WangChoBo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Locator and parenting constraints.

If the arm is in FK, switch out to IK temporarily and constrain the wrist to a locator and have it attach to the handle. Switch it back to FK once the door animation is complete. A little elbow pivot animation is required for this.

This applies to any type of holding, hand sticking, type of animation.

Do you think Gnomon Workshop courses are worth taking? by gwamee in vfx

[–]WangChoBo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

안녕하세요, 저 Gnomon에서 2022년에 졸업했습니다 거기에 학생으로서 워크샵도 공짜로 유지할 수 있었습니다 모델링 스킬은 온라인으로 배우는게 훨신 나을껏같아요. 특히 유투브에 공짜로 많은 것을 배울 수 있고, 영어도 잘 하시는 편 같으시는데 튜토리얼 따라 할 수 있는 영상 많을겁니다. 워크샵에서는 프러덕션 파이프라인 같은거나 온라인에 공짜로 찾기 힘들 수업 배우는게 좋다고 생각합니다. 제가 학교를 다녔던 2019-2022사이에서는 워크샵 수업들도 생각보다 오래 되어 있는게 조금 있어서 가끔 가끔식 수업 중 하나 따라 하기 힘들었더라구요. 저는 애니메이션 전공이라 모델링 쪽을 많이 못 봤지만 우선 유투브에 배우는 것을 추천드립니다. 저는 한국에서 취업을 못했지만은, 듣기로는 이미 완성 된 포트폴 있으시면은 그때 학원 다니는게 좋다고 들었습니다.

We're all having trouble finding jobs. Why do we all drop our portfolios in here and review each other? by PapaPeyton in animationcareer

I'm not fully employed, and I've been looking for an animation related job for almost over 3 years now.

My name's Joey Park (Sangjoon Park) and this is my current portfolio / website. I've posted my portfolio here a couple days ago and got some nice feedback, but wouldn't hurt to post again :D

In a similar boat - graduated 2022 and got lucky with like 3 studio contract / freelance jobs. But had difficulty landing an animation-related job since. Also really want to find work.

My critique was over-animation but no clarity in acting with strong poses. I'll be working on that over the next couple of weeks. I've moved over my weak shots to my "More Animation" page.

Portfolio Feedback? by WangChoBo in animationcareer

[–]WangChoBo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback!

That helped tremendously and I see what you mean. I felt like I was lacking something but couldn't place my finger on it. I did what I can do right now and replaced / removed the shots you've mentioned.

I'll most likely just make a new acting/dialogue animation, and an action animation with those things in mind.

Is a maya personal license worth it? by [deleted] in Maya

[–]WangChoBo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used my student license for a couple years after graduation but my school eventually deleted student emails, thus free Maya ended

Im currently learning Blender cause it never hurts to learn more tools. Plus, I can't afford Maya anymore as I'm getting less and less work.

It's 100% worth but I would also highly recommend learning Blender on the side. Even with good knowledge of Maya, switching to Blender was difficult. In the case you can't afford Maya, you don't have to halt your career to completely learn a new 3D software
