After learning about the importance of acting for animation earlier this week, I was given a task in which I had to pose the model I was working with earlier in the week into poses that represented a choice of five emotion states. Out of the multiple states to choose from I decided to go with; confusion; amusement; exhaustion; fear; sadness, simply because these were the ones that I had instant reactions to in term of ideas to what I could create.
A part of the task required us to take reference photos to work from, and from these I chose my favourite ones and modeled the character based on these references. Although I felt a little apprehensive about posing in front of my friends, I did actually enjoy this part of the task and found it really useful when I came to model my character. Here are my results;
 |
| Amusement |
 |
| Confusion |
 |
| Exhaustion |
 |
| Fear |
 |
| Sadness |
Overall, I am really impressed with how well I have managed to pose my model despite the fact that I'm not at all familiar with Maya and I found it fiddly to get the character into some of the more slightly elaborate positions. Although I feel more confident using Maya now, I still feel that I will need to practice some more with this model before I begin to make my own for my animation.
