I dont have a complex 180 turn or anything... Does a lil window come up that asks if the program will allow it but I could use a critique Sure I allowed Hmm.weird Matt you can also go to the pref tab video section and see if anything is there Sad Roger? ah where is the angry one? Karaoke, anyone? so anyone wanna see more bouncing balls? ummm.... huh? http://members.animationmentor.com/index.cfm?method=community.profile&id=102147&profile=1&SectionID=-1 wont let me use the url either - errr got it yeah I would say.. have a bit more hang on the first bounce hehe - they told me to take a frame out and shorten the arc try muting the rotation till the last thing it has a slight curve at the end the first few are straight settles seem nice and the roll back Got your heavy and light ball going Matt? no - wanna get this first paRAbola PArabola paraBOla potato potato paraboLA lol just messin' around hows jeff? or roger? so the slide off the ledge and the first bounce Yea.. more hang on the slide maybe add a frame back to the first bounce? not the first bounce after oh - got it And tweak your first handles a bit more of a McD arch aye more screen left? Nah Just.. wider not so acute..will change spacing Hey Thijs hey What class are you in? 6 you? Sweet.. have any work on your short you'd like us to look at ? Ohh.. I'm in 4 no my stuff is not good enough yet :P so the frame 1 if it was already in a roll maybe add a few frames before 1 and then shift them ya im from holland Sure Matt.. you can have it roll in from offscreen.. hang on the edge before it falls over.. and go from there.. just a slight shift of a couple frames.. but honesttly.. it isn't needed. How are the women there? ..? Many animator-women? they are all on holiday in the states :P Hey, hi, Steve. o so quiet so on the first bounce does it feel to bouncy as in height? hello too* Not to me or not enough arc Scott - Not enough arc what's up steve who's bouncing balls? you were saying about the spacing there? im checking in the workspace Not enough arc leading into the drop, I think ya roger s right not enough arch nada. just coasting have an idea just nothing sketched out yet its bouncing 2 balls so its nothing like a short piece :) but my timing is what I am worried about Matt your pose from lastt week looks spot on! feel I need to get 1 ball before I do 2 thanks that was fun matt are you in class 2 ? 1 im looking at your workspace now if its 2 different balls the time it takes to hit the ground should be basically the same correct? so if I do them at different frames... they should still be close to the same number of frames if they drop from the same height , yes 1 takes frames 1-10 the other is frames 35-45 that idea I'd offset the landings something heavy takes same time to accelerate as something light yeah just the same amount of frames to hit yes Ohh.. drop them at the same time so you really see the nice contrast.. but doing it at different timing just the bounce is different I don't suggest that Yea.. no roll.. I did that too I can say my idea but it might seem pretty silly but I kept it.. because I had them both roll.. Yea heya Kenny just trying to come up with something different yeah Hey Kenny! hehe It's raining its funny how much physics and math you need to know to do this stuff you can dramatize with squash and stretch na not trying to make it technical, but to be realistic you have to know a few things no S&S no s&s oh Hey beautiful people sorry try not to add it in hey Ian Hey Ian why not ? when you stretch the ball, and rotate it towards the direction it is bouncing it looks better and rotate it back when it lands and squash Thijs, they don't want class 1 focusing on S&S yet....I think they add it into the assignments in the obstacle course okay sorry i was forgotten that no worries Plus, there's a frame limit reuploaded my ball Setting up drawing table don't mind me just listening Cool ha Post the link again http://members.animationmentor.com/index.cfm?method=community.profile&id=102022&profile=1&SectionID=-1 hey Roger, i dont think you should worry too much about dramatizing in this assignment than hehe thx oh - nm looks better then mine! yeah, I'm getting there first 10 frames, is it me or is there no movement? movement starts around 8 63 is a bit hare do read hard Jeff: around frame 35 his right knee (screenleft) pops a little to the inside k yeee ha Nah too early animation wise this week maybe it is the way legs move but it looks a bit funny only have painting junk 2 Sheesh ya dont rememeber me from the last flashmeetings? happy little trees? latest version of my painting WIP http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/3751/karibb0.jpg haha LOL yeah, don't click lol Ahh.. forget that painting stuff... get back to your animation :) lol Jeff: from the first 30 frames i think the leg he is standing on should be straight oh yeah, forgot about that one....... I'm here Wait what are we looking at? it bends at f 24 Dang. The little guy is pestering me for snuggle time, again. I'll try and be back later. who'se link? na I put a plane in, but its on a hidden level yeah, the settle needs to be a bit deeper ian: http://members.animationmentor.com/index.cfm?method=community.profile&id=102022&profile=1&SectionID=-1 and the final resting point needs to come back toward center push 56 or 55 which ever is your key little further over your foot lol no sexy animation? you're makin' me blush lol making some candles will help maybe* horrible people Magan. We're horrible people. been there stocks? they put em in Wall Street? Those monsters in the PR? Hey wait a moment, is KRoy dead? nm nope...putting his drawing table together hey Marcus hey hi marcus whooo cool here wow 0 he does talk alot drawing hey I need to get a new table. got a lightbox though going to put it on there when I'm done http://members.animationmentor.com/index.cfm?method=community.profile&id=102147&profile=1&SectionID=-1 updated added the roll at the beginnign righto looks good one thing hehe you guys are awesome The first bounce still feels too sharp it does feel better Pete is awesome Crash and Eddie? good to know I noticed as soon as I di it it felt better what's the key to display an object's pivot point in maya? insert thanks steve like when it takes off? MAtt: i have maybe a small critique, when the ball bounces it goes very fast up, and it stays relatively long in the air and than it drops back to the ground ooo and 20 to 21 trans too uch in Z more ease probably should have shifted that pivot on ballie before I got this far into the assignment... should follow the arc right? your arcs look a little bit square-ish sorry 21 and 22 yeah so with 21 & 22 too much ease out into the contact well it may sound lame wanted one ball to hit and the shake unsettle the second ball to fall Sorry if Im a bit quiet focus, splining in the background right now cool seasick hehe lol whoops thats not nice sorry dude =P Galactica Cam yeah dont you have a whiteboard marker:P its gotta be my tangent there thx guys ya its a handle brb potty I have a crt 13" - it rocks is this flash meeting every week ? CRT monitor 13 inch monitor cathode ray tube hehe three cool i was invited for my first time. never was in here I will give you that i will set up my webcam for next time how can i get in the next time? is there a mailing list? animeeting@gmail.com what i miss if oyu like to watch my movie u are invited got a link? can you give us a link http://members.animationmentor.com/index.cfm?method=community.profile&id=100760&profile=1&SectionID=-1 i think hold on. its in my workspace but i will give it to you thats mine? yes public review thanks man Sure ian Whats up yea copied pairs blocking pose right? copied pairs the copied pose Yeah thats happening right now thats fine marcus, that looks like it will be a lot of fun. Looks like a lot of work, but a lot of fun thanks yeah, lots of fun scott: i would put the copied pose about 8 frames before the next pose before going to spline, and than you can shift the copied pose around as you like to adjust the transition 8 frames is 0,33 seconds ij = like ei in Eisenhower, so maybe you say it like teis yes :) Ya vary it slightly brb Thats the problem I see with my stuff and a lot of other folks stuff right now Im using stepped mode now you can still shift the copied pose around forward or backward in time if 8 f's is too little or too much but 8 frames is a good starting point i think super buttery o ya buttery lol more inbetweens maybe swimming? ian post your mush mine us up marcus: i really like your pose in shot 140 where Rook looks scared right after she looks angry thnx i just add another key Ya end up re-working and re-timing too much kong Whats your workflow Kenny? copied poairs So when do ya add the transition keys? After all your poses are rock solid then figure out the transition timing or...? baby killer yeah it does bs i dont Oohh.. autokey is your friend I manually hit S when I key s is your other friend im a control freak like that just wait till you spend half an hour working on a pose and then switch to a new key and watch your guy go back hey guys, I'm outta here...gonna get back to my shot and try to get a significant chunk done tonight Thanks! See ya Jeff see ya scott ah you get thru that character sets whats wrong with hitting S? =P to not have a key s will key everything sure god that scraed the CRAP out me start antoher I gotta cook food for tomorrow pretty soon here but I'll be there for a little bit need to go to bed. came home from work hey Bryan where you live? make a list bro ohio Full Sail in Ohio? what happen is that what you see is wrong is righ na full sail in Orlando ok "finished shot" + notepad = a day's worth of notes where in Ohio but only when you first sit down cincinnati cool really? my eyes glaze over quick =P damn lol try to be back next time. interesting. bey guys.
