Learn everything necessary to learn Character Animation utilizing Autodesk Maya taught by a AAA game professional with university level accredited instruction! We will cover the basics starting with the Ball Bounce, Pendulum, and how to apply the 12 principles of animation to the human form. We will apply all fundamental aspects taught to create full in game polished animations of: Idle, Walk, Run, Jump and more.
In this foundation course we will be learning the fundamentals of Character Animation and game development. (specifically for the Unreal engine, but this method will also work for other game engines such as Unity).
Autodesk Maya is the industry standard 3D animation software, understanding the concepts in this course will help you land a job in the game, film, tv, or music industry. In this course you will learn how to animate your custom created character from scratch.
Over 13 hours of Animation instruction!
We’ll be utilizing the latest software packages that top tier gaming studios of today use to create all of your favorite titles!
Autodesk Maya, Unreal Engine’s Maya Animation Rigging Toolset (A.R.T. for short), and the Unreal game engine.
Why Learn From Class Creatives?
This course features an accredited university level animation instructor who has over 15 years of experience animating both keyframe, and motion capture for studios such as Naughty Dog (Uncharted Franchise), Insomniac (Ratchet and Clank Franchise), Guerilla Games (Killzone Franchise), Sucker Punch (Infamous Franchise), Google, Disney and more. Whether it be a complex hyper realistic animation or a cartoony stylized “Disney” character animation it ALL starts with the fundamentals which we cover in these lectures.
I agree, one of the biggest factors that make him look so real (apart from the technical achievements) is that he is treated like any other character. He does things that feel grounded and mundane, which adds to the realistic aspect, he is like a human with a different appearance and moves in a way that feels natural. Even the sound effects give him a sense of weight that CGI characters sometimes lack.
Yes for sure, they definitely took the time to make him feel alive
What helps is that he's not human so you don't have the same scrutiny and references. He's very well made obviously. I'm not 100% sure, it could be on a shot per shot basis, but as I was told back in the day, they kept the eyes of Bill Nighy so those are human eyes.
I was always mesmerized by Davy Jones's animation as a kid. Even today, he's such a treat to watch move around and emote
Great video! I just rewatched POTC trilogy last week and im still in disbelief the CGI of that time could make something like Davy Jones, almost 20 years! later and it still unmatched.
What would it take to make something similar to him on this time and technology? Creativity and a much better deadline for animators right? Even so i think we'll have to wait a long time to see it.
One of the most unique character designs of all time.
Thanks for revisiting greatness 🎉
agreed. big up to sir Mark "Crash" Mccreery . This design came literally from the abyss.
Would love to see a breakdown of Kingdom of the Planet of Apes
Bill Nye's performance, though 🤯
The best
Someone died and sacrificed his soul to achieve this masterpiece of computer graphics...it's genuinely amazing and took ages to painfully make this character
District 9 says hellloooo.
2 weeks to do azog? a fully functional cinematic character with animations? Thats just insane.
Because They Used in house Render Its GPU Call manuka render
Davy Jones is the goat...
She Hulks CGI was not that bad, especially putting it up against that fuggin flash run lol other than that good video.
😂🏃♂️💨
honestly general grievous is up there, and Valerian is up there with some of the creatures, but no one appreciates it cause the movie is terrible
Interesting picks, and good point about the movie being bad making us forget characters. An unfortunate miss from Luc Besson
I think Thanos was also the most realistic CG character ever
CGI was peaked at the time
Thanos is as good or better than Jones.
no..this is more realistic
I think Thanos has surpassed Davy Jones
i font think so
Because They Used CPU Now GPU thats why Look Cheap And The Artist Who Doing This Who Built The SoftWare Alias Maya 2005 Is The Best Of All Maya version The CGI Before Are Expensive Now Are Cheap The Other Reason And Now The Artist Are Came From You tube Or Some Academic Those Artists Not Have That Level there render Calls Mental Ray its used Almost All Films But Autodesk Discounted This Render Same As Softimage Vary Powerful Software The First 3d Soft Ware used in 90s And Autodesk Discounted Don't Forget Avatar He Really Awesome Render In Avatar Render Engine Used Pixar Render Man One Other Thing They Hire Womens That Make The Job Worse Like What Happened In Dragon Age last Game
