[color=#000000][i]Hi!
Are you new to CG animation, or confused about your workflow? Not sure where and how to start animating and to determine an end point where you could call your animation finished? Have a look at my new Animomania Workflow Tutorial, where I’ll take you through a simple scene I created.

Animomania: animation workflow tutorial

Hope this helps some of you! :slight_smile:

These video tutorials are wonders for a beginner animator. Check out the videos on Walks, Bodymechanics and Non Linear Animation specially…

There’s a lot of great stuff posted here, but I would be ecstatic if someone could direct me to tutorials or a training DVD that covers just a basic walk-cycles in Max -without the use of Biped.

Thanks!

this is a great resource thread.

but everything is sort of jumping back and forth, and up and down.

is there a site that sort of has papers, or tuts on basic stuff, then give suggested exercises,
then talk about intermediate stuff, then suggested exercise for those, then advanced, and suggested exercise for that?

http://www.anticz.com/anticz.htm is a nice example of what i mean.

I found a really cool parkour site with tons of videos of different moves for reference.

http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/fundamentals/fundamentals.htm

The great thing about it is that they shoot from all different angles so you can see exactly what is going on. I think it is supposed to be for people to actually practice parkour, but they are just awsome for animation reference.

I’ll post the dash vault that I am working on later tonight to get some feedback on it.
