In this Softimage tutorial, we will learn how to animate a multi-character interaction with time-saving techniques. We’ll first explore the planning phase of this project, and then dive right in and built the performance from start to finish, learning skills that can be applied to any character. We’ll also create very simple but useful toolbar to select controls faster, discuss the benefit of choosing suitable rotation orders for control objects, learn ways to overcome gimbal lock interpolations, and take a look at Softimage’s approach to file referencing. By the end of the tutorial, you will have attained the set of skills needed to animate fun and believable character interactions!
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
Yahoo! Thanks for the tutorial. Love Softimage. Please upload the new cmiVFX tutorials for Softimage. Thanks.
The mofool wonders why dummy interaction meshes need strange pointy boobs??
Maybe, because flat chest looks boring. Thanks U.N.Owen.
Then they could at least make them full and round……
I was wondering too, why didn’t they put cloths, hair, eyes, nose and lips, in a tutorial whose is meant to teach animation only :)
Thanks for the nice upload.
Thanks man thanks. Love you.
Thanks bro.
