Description

in this course, you will see basic block modeling which is not a big deal of modeling in this course because all I just did is took a side view and front view of the cheetah and take a cube and duplicate and adjust until I get the basic outline of cheetah a lot of time is spent on rigging manually, constraining bones layering bones like def bones and target bones, etc trying a streamlined process of creating bones and controlling bones messing with IK chain and FK chain after that adding controllers to the bones making it animator friendly after that using rigfy+manual rigging hybrid workflow highlights are curve-based spline rigging which is a bone chain is controlled by a bezier curve and that bezier curve is controlled by bones again so that you can animate spline in a nonbreaking or disposition line rigify spline…a little about bendy bones, and we also try space switching which is an animation technic to automate the overlapping action of animation but to be honest, in the end, I animated manually the walk cycle, and run cycle… I had lots of fun making this course and hope you will enjoy learning it…
