END OF SPRINGBOARD!

Here is a quick summary of AM Springboard program :)

Week 10 - Basic Animation 6

Assignment#11:
This week in Springboard, we were given a "one leg ball" rig and asked to add a step using IK.

Week 9 - Basic Animation 5

Assignment#10:

Week 8 - Basic Animation 4

Assignment#9:
This week we were given a robot arm rig, a green can and a rectangular prism. Our assignment was blocking of the robot arm to have it turn to can, pick up the can, then turn back to the box and set the can down.
To make this right, we used Locators and Constraints, which are a bit complex to understand at the beginning. But after getting used to them, they become really useful tools for an animator!

Week 8 - Basic Animation 3

Assignment#8:
This time we were asked to create a bouncing ball and import it in the same file twice. So, we get 2 bouncing balls in one project. Our task was playing with graph editor and making one bounce twice higher than the other one.
2 bouncing balls.. it seems easy, right? No way! In my opinion, that was the hardest assignment..
I made tons of mistakes by doing my work and the worst part was, I spent hours just to fix them :)
On the other hand, making mistakes during the training, is the best way to learn.

Week 7 - Basic Animation 2

Assignment#7:
In this session we were asked to move our ball in a circular path.  Instead of just moving the ball around, I added bounce before and after the circular motion.
After messing up with the graph editor for ages, I came up with this:

Week 7 - Basic Animation

Assignment#6:
Finally, we had our first animation class!
We create a basic animation just to learn how to set and edit keys.

Week 6 - Basic Lighting and Rendering

Assignment#5:
This time, I added lights and shadows to my previous project..
But result wasn't satisfying, so I changed the decoration a little bit.

Week 6 - Basic Shading

Assignment#4:
As you can see, this session was about adding some shadings!
Since last time I've already done some shading, I only added textures.. Like a Mona Lisa painting :)

Week 5 - Modeling & Camera Navigation

Assignment#3:

This session we learnt how to create and navigate a camera. Our assignment was, building a set for our character and placing 3 different cameras with different camera angles.

I also set a story for my assignment and want it look like a comic strip. Enjoy:
