One month later...

Where has the time gone? It's been a whole month since I posted anything! If I could say that I've been doing loads more animation over that time, then that would be brilliant. However, I haven't.

Saying that, I have been to Cambridge to visit Jagex, the makers of the MMORPG Runescape. I've been interviewed for an animator's position, which is pretty exciting.

From my experience there so far, I can say that I have taken IK handles for granted so much. Naturally feet are just weighted to the floor, but when you don't have any form of IK or reverse foot lock, you have to look at the legs completely differently, as you have the hips and spine, then you work down the leg rather than just whacking a foot down and letting the knee work itself out. Tricky stuff, especially when appropriate weighting comes into play to ensure the centre of gravity is correct.

I shall update when I find out more about this application. In the meantime, enjoy your month, just in case I'm gone again. I'll try not to leave it so long.
