Week 8 (Week 20)

This week, we had Carlos go through the all important arcs and paths of action in a shot. It makes movements much more fluid and not jittery and all over the place.

So, in usual fashion, we took our sketches from reference and blocked them out in Maya. I discovered this nifty little dynamic flame tool in Maya that made the fire on Stewie's foot practically for me! It was pretty nice find, but that didn't change the fact that my blocking had some problems with it. The overall pose was too not casual and all the hopping around was a bit slow. See for yourself, first without the flame dynamic, then with.
