Animation Mini Flexibility And Weight

FLEXIBILITY AND WEIGHT From Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit comes key chapters in mini form. The Animator's Survival Kit is the essential tool for animators. However, sometimes you don't want to carry the hefty expanded edition around with you to your college or studio if you're working on just one aspect of it that day. The Animation Minis take some of the most essential chapters and make them available in smaller, lightweight, hand-bag/backpack size versions. Easy to carry. Easy to study. This Mini focuses on Flexibility and Weight. How do we loosen things up and get snap and vitality into our performance at the same time as keeping the figure stable and solid? The answer: successive breaking of joints to give flexibility. In this mini, Williams stresses the importance of knowing where the weight is on every drawing. He demonstrates that the best way to show weight is to be aware of it, conscious of it, and think about it all the time - knowing where the weight is coming from, where it's traveling over and where it's transferring to.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment, INTETAIN 2014. The 8 full papers presented together with 4 special session papers, 4 panels and 6 extended abstracts were carefully selected from 26 submissions. The papers present interdisciplinary research, covering topics such as creativity applied to technology, AI, cognition and models of engagement and play. The special session papers address the topic of humor in intelligent environments.

A guide to the theory, aesthetics, and techniques of animation features detailed instructions, projects, and discussion on such topics as basic movement, soundtrack synchronization, projecting equipment, storyboarding, and cartoon materials.

Digital impact response test techniques were used to measure the dynamic properties of lightweight aircraft structures to include natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping. Two different types of structures were tested, honey-comb and skin-stiffened panels. The digital impact response method used consisted of applying a transient force pulse to the structure, measuring the structure's response at various points, digitizing, calculating the transfer functions using fast Fourier transforms, and determining the dynamic properties from these data. A second method was used on these same structures for direct comparison purposes. This method was an analog technique using sine sweep tests and accelerometer mapping. The comparison indicated close agreement in the results. The use of the digital technique has resulted in a considerable savings in the manhours required to obtain the dynamic properties of the structures.
