For this week, I just wondering how to design a character by myself and consider something about what kind of character I prefer.
I found a very helpful book called “An Essential Introduction to Maya Character Rigging” in library. This book contains eight parts which are from very beginning introduction. First thing I learn from this book is some common Hotkeys used in Maya. Such as press F1 I could go to Maya help directly. F2 link with Animation Menu, F3 connect with Modeling Menu, F4 means surfaces Menu, also 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.9 have their special meaning and so on. Also I try them under my working surface. I considered if I want to familiar with those complete codes it will cost a really hard time to do more practice, however I still think those code must be very helpful during create my characters and save such time.
The most cool thing in this book is that the owner designed workflow for each step of designing. Now I will share one of the workflow:
Also this book recommends a boy’s work on http://www.zapmyshorts.com/site/zap/1/ . I love the banana one, it’s really funny.
And I just consider about my first character, and just do some sketches. I will use one of them as my first toy idea. Next week I will do more work on modeling. Now I will show my pictures here,Those pictures I do it on PS and Hand-painted plate to create.
And those pictures just paint them on pieces of paper.
