Week 5-6: Weight Shift and Posing

This week we focussed on weight shifts and posing.

To understand the concept of mass and action lines, I sketched some poses. While posing them on the character rig, I made sure to exagerate the action lines and keep the center of mass balanced.

For the weight shift, we made a blocking for week 5 and then spline for next week. Comparing the 1st test blocking and final spline animation, I can see the difference in movement.
