Hello hvyogesh

Try having a look in the maya help (F1) and look up the graph editor. All the features are well explained in there.

Hi 'Student',

It sounds like your timeline is playing back at 'every frame', you should change it to play 'real time'.

This can be done several ways, the easiest method would be to right click on the timeline > Playback Speed > Real Time

Hi Steven,

I think first I am too impressed by your discipline, I like the way you approach animation, Its been 2 weeks and am having lots of fun.

Quick question, My iTunes seem not to capture some of the podcast.. i.e Maya Modeling - Modeling a basic biped character using polygons

Yet its been the most exciting for me so far, I would like to have a reference point, this is the best thing ever, since I started working on the net.

Thank you

Hi dudes, I am interested in animation so i want to tune up my skills in animation career. Still now i didn't joint in any courses for 3D animation. Simply i am learning myself through video tutorials, E-Books and some stuffs. Because i dont know that which one is the worthy institute? Many peoples are saying "self study is best way". Even if when i am working with MAYA there are lot of doubts raising.

Now my question is, if there any good institute please quote the name.

2010-10-07: anita said:
Hi
i need video tutorials of character animation & lip sync to download. Pls help me.....

2010-10-07: steven said:
Hi Candy,
I would like to think we (swinburne) offer a great course! If you are interested in animation, and just animation, I would recommend you look into 'animation mentor'.


Hi Anita,

I have a tutorial covering basic character animation here:
http://www.swinburne.edu.au/design/tutorials/P-maya/T-Maya-Animation-An-introduction-to-character-animation-and-walk-cycles/ID-155/

I have tutorials on lip sync, however they are currently private for enrolled students.

2010-10-07: anita said:
Thanks Steven... i would be happy if i get lip sync video tutorials.... i'm very weak in that.....
