It Rhymes With "Red Van"

Digital Life Drawing

Ouch.

My arm aches! This afternoon we took a digital life drawing class.

What is this, you ask? Well, it's a pretty good idea really! A model assumes a pose and we had to recreate it using our character rigs. With three 5 minute poses, and then two 10 minute poses, there was a lot of clicking involved. I found it to be a pretty intense experience, since there is very little time to navigate through the various minutiea inherent in 3D animation.

Hmmm. Turns out I can pose pretty quickly if I have to...



Has anyone else tried this?

    Wow, that sounds pretty damn cool.
    I'd like to try that out sometime.

    Are you going to post up any images of the poses you created?

    Cheers

  • Hi Jonathan,

    I'm trying to find out if I can post the images.
    Stay tuned!

  • Yeah. I was in the 12:30 class. I didn't like it. Mainly because I wasn't happy with some of the "philosophy changes" in the rigs and how much slower they are than other rigs i've used. See me for more details. I don't think my opinions are websafe...

  • Unfortunately I won't be able to post any images of the poses, since they're make using secret special proprietary ingredients.

    Sorry!

  • Hi Kevan,

    That's a shame.
    Still, it's got me thinking about trying it out.

    Cheers
