Finishing touches to our project ideas and homework tasks during the whole term. Making first steps for completing our showreels
This week was also focused on polishing our body mechanics animations. Using the feedback from the previous week, I worked on refining the movement and improving the overall clarity and flow. A key focus was making sure that secondary parts, such as the head and hands, followed the main body movement naturally, similar to the follow-through and overlap principles we previously applied to tail motion.
I paid closer attention to subtle details like timing, spacing, and smooth transitions between poses, which helped the animation feel more cohesive and physically believable. This stage highlighted how small adjustments and secondary motion can significantly improve the quality of an animation and bring more life and realism to the final result.
