The Secret to Animating Realistic Movement: The Critical Role of Balance Mark Masters 2022-02-15 | Balance in animation is extremely important, making sure the weight of the character is in the correct spot is vital for appealing and believable posing. It's one of the first things every animator learns. However, we are creating movement as 3d animators, not statues, and in real life, there are countless moments where we are slightly off-balance, and it's those tiny adjustments our bodies make to ensure we stay balanced, and don't fall over that can add so much to an animation. Especially a body-mechanics heavy animation. In this video, I break down several real-world examples from skateboarding to martial arts moves to show those moments in life when our body is not perfectly in balance and our weight is slightly off. Whether you are an experienced animator or learning how to animate, this tutorial will hopefully help you to produce appealing movement.Social Media 📰Twitter: twitter.com/markmasters92Instagram: instagram.com/markmasters92LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mark-masters-062a89a4Chapters 📘0:00 Intro1:00 Reviewing The 1st Example3:15 Reviewing The 2nd Example4:02 Reviewing The 3rd Example5:25 Reviewing The 4th Example7:39 Reviewing The 5th Example8:27 Reviewing The 6th Example9:44 Reviewing The 7th Example10:33 OutroRelated Videos 🎥My Animation Workflow: youtu.be/Kk_Uhe2y1okUse Dynamics to Easily Animate Tails and Overlap: youtu.be/vtF7wwvuBkkUsing AnimBot for Constraints: youtu.be/bycG7_9zoKI
