This week I worked on the “Show Me That Weight” task. I bought a real juice carton and filmed an animatic with my phone to study how it falls. Then I edited the clip in After Effects and imported image sequences into Maya as reference. I keyed the main poses, adjusted animation curves, and added extra frames to make the motion smooth. Finally, I animated the straw to make the action more natural.
Besides that, I completed the Golden Pose challenge and posed a character in 3D, hiding the controllers and using real photo references to make it more natural.
