Discover why timing and spacing are the first big steps to believable animation in this free workshop with DreamWorks character animator Robyne West.
Using a classic bouncing ball exercise in Maya, Robyne demonstrates how to create distinct senses of weight, speed, and personality. You’ll see how subtle changes to curves translate into more convincing motion, and how understanding these fundamentals sets you up for every shot you animate later on.
