  • Lana Bachynski is a Lead Animator in R&D at Riot Games. Of course, if we showed you any of that work, we’d have to use the flashy thing on you. Luckily, Lana cut her teeth at Riot on the League of Legends PC team, and she knows a thing or two about animating champs. So sit down and strap up as she shows us how to make Akali go grrr.
    The Riot Games Super Art Power Hour is a quarterly, long-form educational segment spotlighting super art and super artists at Riot. For a deeper dive into the game art production pipeline, check out our So You Wanna Make Games?? series.

      hey! I have two questions, I hope you can answer them and thank you in advance!
      1- What have you studied to be able to dedicate yourself to 3d animation?
      2- do you have to know how to draw?

      1. Currently taking a bachelor in "Interactive Media - Animation" at a private university in Norway. Gives me a lot of experience with 3D and introduces me to the industry in a way that will make it possible for me to apply for jobs right after the studies, given that I have skills that I can show off by the end of it.
      2. No. Drawing may give you an edge in some situations, but for 3D animation it is not at all necessary. Personally I am absolutely hopeless but have managed to score top grades in our animation courses.
      Hope that answers your questions!

  • @inplane9970

    It's nice to see that animating as a passion and as a job are relatively similar. Seeing Lana have those struggles with keyframing and having to be very intricate with how she does those animations is very relatable. One missing keyframe or an oddly flexed limb and your character will go bending all sorts of ways.

    52:19 There's actually a button fix for gimbol lock. You don't need to force every frame to move the way you want. In the graph editor window, at the top "Curves" -> "Euler Filter". That button fixes it right up!
    Just keep in mind, if you have purposefully large rotations between keys (like a 360% spin) Euler Filter might also remove that. Adding an extra key or two in between should stop it from happening though. Hope that helps!

  • @raymk
    @raymk Před 7 měsíci

    Key takeaways:
    - Consider the newton law, inertia, and the center mass, the transfer of weight of the moving character.
    - Have a non-monotonic rhythmic in animation.
    - Animate the clavicle to exaggerate the motion.
    - Make a point of interest in key poses to guide the audience's eye during the animation, like making an arc throughout the points of interest.
    - Human blink when moves fast.

    I usually pre-key the keys evenly, like frames 0, 5, 10, 15, etc., and then just move them according to the speed of the reference. I don’t know how correct this is, but it’s more convenient than immediately trying to make rhythmic animation.
