INSTRUCTOR POST - Dave Latour gone next week.

To all my students:

Sadly, I have to travel back to Canada to attend my father-in-law's funeral and will be back in classes on Tuesday Oct 4. I will pass on instructions here in the blog and to your substitute instructor. Continue to work on your assignments any scheduled hand-in for next week will be delayed until I return. Continue to post your work in progress to the blog along with any questions you may have. Keep working diligently and I will see you next week

Keaton - Amazing comedy reference

Who says animals don't have a sense of humor?

Keaton - Cat Reference

I particulary like this reference because its a locked off camera with two cats running in wheel.
The wheel has spokes that help visualize how far the cats move.



This one is also good, however the cat is dark and the interlacing hides the feet a bit.
But it meows while it runs and it is flippin' adorable.



And this one has great contrast. There is great stuff in the middle.

Reynaldo - trot fixes

Hope it doesn't look like a mentally challenge horse trot this time. Have not touched the Neck & Head.

Reynaldo - Blocking Quad

I was not sure if you wanted a cycle or a walk across the screen so i blocked both very rough.

Welcome New Students

Welcome to the AAU Fall Semester of 2011 everyone!

This is a persistent online site I use to allow students in sessions of ANM 325 to solicit and offer feedback on their animation. A few important notes:

1. Conduct yourself here as you would in the class. Play nice with others and be supportive and constructive with your comments. Limit the posting to information relevant to the class.

2. I use participation here as part of your class participation mark. If you're shy this is a great way to be involved in the classroom discussion.

3. Title each post with your name. Your blogger ID may not be something I recognize, and you don't want to miss out on participation marks when you post here.

4. This blog is as helpful as you make it. Be active with comments, post your work regularly and take advantage of this venue. Monitor this site at lease once a week. I will use this as a forum to answer common questions, so you don't want to miss out.

Even If you're new to blogging you'll find this a pretty painless and straightforward process. If you have something from class you'd like to show: just playblast your work, click "new post" on the upper right corner of the screen and use the "add video" button on the right side of the upper menu of the new post interface.

I try to look in here regularly and offer critique and guidance as well. Welcome to the blog and have a great time.
