Character Animation; Animating in Maya

Character Animation- Animating in Maya
Character animation is generally defined as the animation of one or more characters in any complex scene. It is one of the best effects among 3d film industries and after this you have to add voice acting for your 3d characters. The character needs the voice narration for performing in any movies therefore the voice is provided them through background sources. The character talking scene is also included in animation and they are done through assigning key frames. Character animation is much different from other general and emotional physical action. In simple meaning the animation is the constancy of character movement along the key frames application. Animation is actually name of giving soul to still image or character and it is because of animation that you can move the character anywhere in the scene. When you want to create animation in your character position, you need two things, first character and then key frames setting. The key frames are placed on the bottom side of the workspace and it allows you to create illusion of movement in your character. The keys are assigned where you want to create movement in your character. Suppose we have a character and want to create animation, first of all set the key frames range which helps you to set the duration of your animation. Drag and place the character anywhere in the scene and set key frame there and so on. There is radio button system on the end of timeline setting, play the animation and you see that your character is moving freely in the scene and you can see the changing in character with respect to key frames. The character animation process is shown in the following video in detail.
