Valera Balan

I'm senior 3d character animator in game industry.
My experience is 11 years.
I have a Ukrainian-language blog and I teach 3d animation

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

In this animation, I learned to work with the camera. At first, instead of the character, I put an ordinary sphere so that the position and timing were as suitable as possible for the scene.

one animation, one rhythm, all that has changed is the pose.
Do you feel the character's mood change?
Blocking is a very powerful tool

@kantirs1trayk it's amazing book for all animators😍

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

The entire animation has only 9 poses. No polishing and no additional keys. This is the minimum base to start building a walk.
do you think polishing will change the final result much?

@Sasaki_016 this is the result of an online course.
There is no course in the English language yet

Animation by student Dmitry Holovko from my advanced body mechanics course.
I love seeing my students' good results

@badmonk_uk mine too😅 But I want to learn to draw beautifully someday. I believe that it will take my animation to another level

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

Step 2
If there is heavy work with the camera, then before you start blocking characters, it is better to first work with simple objects.
Have you ever tried this method?

@Malik54920247 That's a great idea.
But I don't think such rigs are easy to find.🙂

Deadpool meets K-pop.
I've wanted to make a dance animation for a long time. Do you like it?
Thanks https://t.co/SnmANlqQRo for a cool rig

@badmonk_uk So, this method is great. But I think that everyone has their own approach to a dynamic camera.
For example, you can paint a 2D animatic🙂

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@lucasml3d We can try it, but it won’t be as effective🙂

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

step 3. The final version of the animation.
Sometimes simple models help a lot to learn the dynamics.
But even so, I like the result. I will probably continue to make the next scenes of this battle

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@lucasml3d that's why I like anime.
You can learn interesting things there.

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@lucasml3d and so fast and easy😅, thanks😀

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@Malik54920247 I hope you will be able to buy laptop soon👍😀

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@Malik54920247 It's a good habit.👍
it's a form of support, I do the same🙂

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@Malik54920247 thank you, glad to hear it😀

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@iamZaskaii thank you😀
this rig is free and is on the internet. But I just don't remember its name.
Such rigs are called Walker.
They are for basic exercises

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

Step 3.
I did some blocking with the models, put them in the places of the spheres.
There's still a lot to do here - polishing, camera shake, a little VFX and rendering.

@MagnumOsiris references are a good way to learn from the pros, but you need to use them correctly, not rotoscope them

[Valera Balan @Valeriy_Balan]

@F_Slush I didn't quite understand how it works, planning via 2D🙂
