Hello HypefroActive fans and welcome to another exciting
edition of animations on HypefroActive. Ok, it's been kind of a little while
since i dropped something here and as you are aware, i'm working on an
animation shot featuring my Dante Mascot doing the Nigerian Actor, Francis
Odega's "gerrarahere mhen" which is quite popular here in Nigeria. It's
tasking and very challenging but what can i say, i do what i can. A lot has
been done and plenty learnt and in all it has been fun animating this piece. So
with no further ado let's get on in and talk about it.
Well, seeing the original clip and watching Francis go will
get you thinking, hey this is easy. Guys, animating a Francis Odega especially
in this clip is nothing near easy. This guy is a toon in himself. Most of the
dialogues were done with his head doing the movements. Then there is this SUV
he's sitting in, getting up from and exchanging beer cans about. It truly is a
hand full.
The challenges met with animating this shot would be the RIG itself
and understanding animations. If you are on the CAT rig like myself then you
have to understand exactly how it works because there won't be any room for
training on the job. And by the way, the hand pose that i thought would be of
advantage for me if i use the CAT turned out a nightmare. It didn't turn out as as
expected and reason is that i set the fingers(digits) up badly. I guess if you are
using this RIG with the hand presets in mind then it's a good thing for you to test
them out even before skinning. Then again, it could be that i've stayed away from animation for too long.
Well somehow i managed to get this piece out for your viewing so that you as always are in the know about HypefroActive. It's almost done, low poly as usual and the environment is a little bit filled up and i'm using the Scanline rendering Engine. So you see, i'm keeping everything really simple but opening the nozzle in animating.
