Week 4 - Roller Coaster Scene

Nearing the end of this week I began starting to block out my roller coaster scene animation for my show reel. In the Christmas holidays I created a basic scene and a rough roller coaster kart for my character to stand in. I did plan last term to use the Max for Maya rig for this particular animation however I am now using the Morpheus rig instead due to the fact that I have various characters in the sketch for example the mum and young kid and Morpheus allows me to easily customise the characters to give them each a unique appearance.

In the video above you will be able to see a rough pass of the key poses the character will be doing in the scene. The next steps is to perfect the timings of the poses and start to smooth out the animation.

In the figure above is the mum and kid rig they'll appear in the sketch. The two will look at each other in embarrassment as they witness their husband/dad chickening out on going on a roller coaster.
