Some thoughts about music production.

Few words

In the past period, I spent my time creating the music written for the scene, and in the musical field, unfortunately, I often fall into deep rabbit holes. I hope to upload a video about the music ...

Hair & Cloth (Claire for VA - Full)

In response to previous comments: Yes, simulations are usually added only after the finished animation. Until then, we can see them mostly bald.

Would you trust her to stitch your wounds?

For most lighting setups, there are so many things that need to be on point and so many marks that need to be hit, that with my lame mocap system each is a separate... challenge.

Just for com...

Update

You were interested in some plans and ideas.

It's difficult to write about this without spoiling anything, but what I can say for sure is that, I am working on a scene with a much ...

Shortcomings & Solutions

Quick Sketches

A completely new Poser had to be developed, which can quickly catalog hunderds of poses, linking to them other poses, props, lights and angles.

Can your name appear?

An idea came up, according to which there would be an opportunity to display the names of the supporters in a short section of the next scene. However, it can easily happen that someone does not wa...

Panam in the studio

Hateful Things... "Inverse-kinematic solver" is one such. Maybe it can't be written perfectly. There's always some glitch in the movements, deadly contortions, knee or elbow pops.

"bezierBlend" node

Being so immersed in the dry coding process can also have the advantage of being able to find a solution to a 7-8 year problem in 1 day, driven by a sudden idea. Since the facial-rig, which used to...

"Everything is Interconnected & Inseparable"

I don’t want you guys to think I’m gone, but for now, I wouldn't show either how overwhelmingly complicated this thing becomes.

...it would just hurt.

Update

A new facial-rig is being made on the occasion of the new character.

Fellow animators certainly know the feeling when they often have to work against a rig rather than with it. After many yea...

It's been pretty tough for the last 2 weeks.

The new VA was finished with all the takes, which became especially good I think. She was very busy in late December and early January, but it was...

Character animation for Claire

Although it was definitely easier to work with the new nodes, I couldn't wait to finally start working with her her face.

New stroking system

Completely redesigned stroking system, with joint correction, blending and baking.
