Advanced Body Mechanics – Spline
After fixing the arcs and poses, I switched my animation to spline, and a lot of errors started showing up.
- The hand movement was jittering during the slide.
- The sword and sheath were popping in some places.
- The overall movement felt robotic and not human-like.
Mad Mapper: Projection mapping
This was an interesting session for me. I have wanted to learn projection mapping for a long time but never got the opportunity.
I worked on a custom object made from paper to test the projections. The tool was easy to understand and use, but mapping on thin edge surfaces was a little tricky.
Skill Application: Update after 16th June
I used the techniques and skills learnt from this class in a contract project of an animated mural for the ‘handover event for the Bakerloo line’. I worked on the motion graphics which was projected on a painted mural.
I did not do the mapping myself, but it was easier to plan the animations and output files knowing how the tool will be used later for the projection.
