Short Film Project

With your models complete you may now rig, animate, light & render, and cut together your film. You will use Autodesk Maya’s Human IK rig and blend shapes to make your character model animate-able. You will then combine it with your environment and light the scene. After you can animate your character to develop a basic one gag narrative. You will render the results to an image sequence and cut it together with audio to make your final film.

You will be graded on the following:

Rigging

Animation
- Complete full-body animation to tell a very basic narrative.
Lighting & Rendering
- Create lights to illuminate the scene. Render the results into an image sequence.
