Spidey Body Mechanics 1


We will go step by step learning the process of blocking your shots from a simple layout until the blocking plus. You will see why we need to spend as much time as necessary on this stage so that we minimize the changes in the spinning stage. You’ll be shown some necessary tools and techniques important in your day-to-day animating.
