Using Lynda.com and multitudes of YouTube videos helped me tremendously. I spent a long time weighting the characters to make sure they had more human-like proportions and gestures. Although I am no longer terrified of rigging and weighting, but I still highly dislike them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls src=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/2_BoyRigDemo-3.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls src=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/4_GirlRigDemo-3.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hair Dynamics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose to suffer, you would create hair dynamics for your characters like I did.

extremely hefty. Since I like to make sure things look correct and really focus on tiny details, it would have realistically taken a couple months for me to animate the film. However, I had a semester and I got to the animation toward the end of the year. I would not recommend animating a two and a half minute animated short in a week, however, it was done and I am glad that I did it. I am extremely excited to see how it goes in the rendering process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rendering<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t think that one is able to mentally prepare for the endurance that you need for rendering. Since I am using Arnold to render my project, the frames are taking a lot longer to render than it would if I just used Maya. Averaging at 3 minutes per frame with 3400 frames, I am currently looking at approximately 170 hours of rendering. Considering that I have about a week and a half of school left, it&#8217;ll be very interesting to see how well this render process goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/S1_0253.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/S1_0253.png 1280w, https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/S1_0253-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/S1_0253-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/S1_0253-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/jbrown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/04\/S1_0253-660x371.png 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Character Rigging Rigging has always been the hardest part of creating content for me in Maya.
