OK, the second pass of blocking is done, after this comes the switch from step mode to spline, now this is where the animation stops looking like a slideshow, also this is where I will add the finger and facial animation, making sure there is no gimbal locks and smooth everything and that would mark the end of the animation process, so far the animation still looks like a slideshow but to a much lesser degree, there is a new video preview/playblast in the 1080p/tests folder if you want to give it an early look.
I will take a couple days break since I want to rest me eyes and well Gumi's birthday is near (cough cough my birthday too) and I want to gather some new reference material as well as finally give Stellar blade a try.
I hope what remains to be done for the animation can be done quick, so far I've been working on this animation for about a month, this is still faster than what I've ever done before so, those animation courses are paying off.
I'll make another post when I'm done with this dance.
Until then, thanks again for your support and patience.
