Course Description
Throughout these lessons, we'll learn how to animate in-game locomotion animations for biped characters. We'll look at the mechanics of using Maya 2014 as a sketching tool for designing the animations. Functions we'll address are the graph editor, key frames, in-betweens and breakdowns as well as basic functionality of animation layers. Animations we'll focus on include idle, run, jump, attack, hit-reaction, death, celebration and deselect-idle animations. By the end of this tutorial you will have a deeper understanding of how to animate an in-game biped character using Maya. Software required: Maya 2014.
