How to get your animation reviewed by a pro for free!

We will host a HUGE event on the new Animworks Channel! 

We know it’s a tough time in the industry, so we want to give you the unique opportunity to find out what real pros look for and value when looking at your hard work.

For this reason, during the last week of November, Harvey will go live every single day with a few of the best and most influential animators and veterans in the industry

Every livestream will be divided into two parts:

1. During the first part, we will break down some of our guests’ professional work. They will literally go frame by frame to give all the best tips and tricks, behind-the-scenes insights, and industry secrets! (Of course, there will ALWAYS be space for any questions you might have) 

2. In the second part, our amazing guests will give you free feedback on YOUR animation.

Imagine this… You will have the unique opportunity to have your work seen and reviewed by a true pro!

You can upload your reel or any shot you are working on (or anything you are comfortable showing) through FrameSide at the link below!!

PLUS! This week on Animworks… 

We just made some of the coolest plugins public for everyone on Animworks! 

They can make animating so much faster… Have a look! ↓

ADD BREATHING TO ANY CHARACTER

Breathing is usually an afterthought and pretty cumbersome to add… You have to animate multiple attributes on many axes to make it believable, offset them… 

But it adds so much to a shot. It instantly adds another level of polish, bringing your characters to life.

To do all this for you, Levent created BreathForge. 

A procedural breathing animation tool for Maya, designed to help animators quickly add natural and customizable breathing movements to their characters.

• 6 different presets
• non-destructive 
• Ready in seconds. 
• Fully adjustable for timing, intensity, and speed
• IK/FK support
• Looping and blending
• Works for any character
• Simple interface

It basically generates all that cumbersome breathing animation for you, whether you are animating a subtle acting shot or an idle animation, and it works from Maya 2022 onwards.

POSE HANDS FASTER!

Posing fingers takes AGES…

On average, hands have 30+ controls to move individually, and they take forever to be posed… let alone animated!

HandForge was created to make all this faster.

It’s a hand pose library tool for Maya, designed to make hand posing faster, easier and more consistent across different character rigs. 

• 48 pre-built hand poses
• Cross-rig pose library 
• Pose blending
• Pose thumbnails
• Pose mirroring
• Simple Maya

It’s great for acting shots where you need to convey a lot of emotion with the hands of your character, but even for cinematic and game animation too!

It works from Maya 2022 onwards.
