Character Animation: Fundamentals


		Description: In this training, you'll learn the basics of feature film style character animation. Starting with the bouncing ball and then moving on to using a character rig, this series gives you a guided tour of the inner workings of Maya, covering the interface and how to develop good workflow habits. It explores the basics of acting and emotion and demonstrates how to setup the always challenging walk cycle, from blocking in and smoothing out the animation to refining it by adding attitude and feeling.
