Digital-Tutors – Animation Retargeting Techniques in Maya
Intermediate | 1h 15m | 474 MB | Project Files 80 MB | Required Software: Autodesk Maya 2012
In this set of Maya tutorials you will learn a variety of techniques for retargeting animation to save time building animation assets. We’ll start by learning how Maya’s Trax Editor can be used to retarget animation. We’ll then take another approach and utilize MEL to accomplish the same thing. Finally, we’ll work with Maya’s intuitive Human IK toolset to retarget from a performance-captured animation to a custom skeleton. We’ll also cover techniques for optimizing and correcting animation after it has been remapped. By the end of this set of tutorials, you will be familiar with several tools you have at your disposal for re-purposing animation, to, ultimately, save production time.

Ken Fountain – Animating a Basic Acting Shot
Beginner | 3h 18m | 1.98 GB | Project Files n/a | Required Software: Autodesk Maya
In this 3-hour video lecture/demo, follow DreamWorks Animator Ken Fountain’s process for analyzing and animating a simple, clear and appealing acting performance.
With a presentation geared toward the more advanced animator looking to create a great test shot for their demo reel, Ken let’s you look over his shoulder as he chooses audio, examines the character’s “subtext,” plans his staging, breaks down video reference, works out timing and “attitude” through thumbnailing, uses detailed blocking to define clear acting beats, controls and shapes the scene’s “phrasing,” adds texture to enhance the energy, sculpts the lipsync, and brings a shot to a polished final.

Digital-Tutors – Introduction to Animation in CINEMA 4D
Beginner | 2h 44m | 720 MB | Project Files 25 MB | Required Software: CINEMA 4D R12 and up
In this tutorial we will learn the basics of animating in CINEMA 4D. Throughout the tutorial, you will be guided through the CINEMA 4D intuitive animation tools. Our objective will be to build a solid foundation by familiarizing ourselves with core animation components and techniques. We will start by covering the CINEMA 4D animation preferences and how to record animation. We will discuss path animation, how to bake motion from procedural animation and optimize that data, as well as how to edit and blend animation non-linearly and non-destructively with its robust Motion System. We will explore animation layers, how to modify animation in the timeline, we will learn techniques for seamlessly cycling animation, and work with Xpresso, its node-based expression editor. By the end of this tutorial, you will have the foundation required animate comfortably in CINEMA 4D.
