wip - blocking of tony walker with skateboard trick 1

Hello every one ,

I am glad that i am doing preety well with animation bit . I think that by now  I can also try my hands as an animator when times comes to enter industry . Its not that difficult the way i thought about it in year 1 and 2 . Its Preety easy the only thing you have to make sure the concept and what to key where and how .. preety obvious and very staright forward procedure .. Some tutorials really confuse the beginners but as time goes its really easy and fun doing it .

Further as a result I am heading over to the 1st part almost there with blocking bit ...in spline mode ..

here is the camera and perspective view play blast of my wip blocking

I hope that this is going in a right direction! .. I have 3 more days and my goal  is to cover the major parts of blocking by 14th.  so that I attach all the bits of blocking and its ready atleast that much that ricky my clients gets the over view or the idea of how the final bit is going to look. This is what so far i have done with tony walker .. get ready to see him finished and rendered and editted soon ...#


Thanks XXX

latest update of tony walker

Hello people ,
Since my last update I have moved to blocking animation . But Until I reach the blocking part .. I  faced hell lot of problems in it . Like 1. When i was using maya 2011 the renders just dont work . I still dont know why . It always gave me an error in task manager when ever I tried doing mental ray It says @ Not responding and the frustrating part is it just does this only with the file  on which i am working on  .I tried all my best by  cleaning up mesh , delete history , optimize and many more . But nothing worked out well  and then i finlly thought to try doing it in maya 2013 and it just worked fine but I Almost wasted lot of time here . But the good think was I was ready with my  character to animate . But like said  i switched to maya 2013 my paint weights , blendshapes  and some parts of rig were disturbed and destroyed and deformed and dead .. Gosh it was all here and there .
Tried All my best and just didnt loose the hope 

I did paint weights , and blocking for almost  2 times everything all over again but the issue kept recurring . So I took help from one of my friend and he sorted the paint weights   issue for me Finally!!!!! . and for the third time I finally blocked my character  with the skate board . Some issues are just left unknown but for now it has resolved .. I am definitely going to  sit with my tutor or research on what the problems was and will try to figure it out once the project is finished .

After all the pain of doing things again and again .. I have done 3 seconds blocking of my character  on skateboard .. This is an inbetween blocking  sequence of the animation part 1 



Thanks a lot to  all who helped me to reach here with this project ..

Looking forward to finish 70 % of blocking  part by 14th december  and final edit part by 11th jan 

Thanks for reading 

Remember me in your prayers !
