Seeing keyframes......

Hello again! Well its been a week or 2 since i updated and here is why. I recently contracted the Flu which lead to some shall we say technical difficulties.

Whilst I was determined to work I found that in my fevered state I would hallucinate anything that I was doing during the day, Key frames became to real and i would act out each scene I had to animate. The doctors explained to me that it was my brain trying to make up for the work I was meant to do when I was sleeping during the day.

So yeah that happened, It was interesting to say the least but i'm glad I didn't let the bug beat me. I managed to go into uni and get plenty done at the expense of my sleep.

So this week I learnt that the camera could be used as an animation tool. This allowed me to make the UI scenes more visually appealing as if the robot wasn't stood there aimlessly looking into space.

I also learnt a new way of animating the robots face and encountered a rather irritating issue. When the eyebrows are animated a few of the corners attach themselves to a random part of the robot. This had NO explanation but a simple solution was found by moving the vertices when the issue happened and progress wasn't held up by it.

Well time to get back to animating, Till next time!
