Updog - Part 05 (We'll all Float On Ok)

















So the obligatory thing for animators to do, from what I've observed, is to change their splines from stepped to flat or smooth ins and outs and then when they are forced to show it to anyone, as I am psuedo-forced to show it here, is to complain about how bad it looks. So here goes.

*Ahem........This is an awful looking spliney mess. *

(insert fanfare and applause here.)

I think it all is a reaction to seeing how piss poor the arcs are. When it's in stepped mode, everyone's imagination is filling in the gaps between poses. When it is splined, well, the computer takes over and shows you what a crap job your imagination does at interpolating mathematical vectors. So it's a moment of clarity between what you thought you had and what you really have. The truth hurts baby.

Hi ho hi ho, it's off to fix my arcs, weight, timing and whatnot I go.
