Additional Tonguing Tips: Donât worry about starting the first note with the tongue at first. Add that later after the tongue learns what to do. BUT â donât wait too long, or the first note will always be âheeeâ. Play a whole note first, and then follow with 4 quarter notes. This establishes correct sound before the tongue is involved.
Autodesk Maya. Maya is the industry standard 3D software, used in most studios. Maya, Softimage (which was discontinued) and 3D Max all belong to Autodesk and work quite similarly. Choosing one is a matter of personal preference.
If you donât already have some animation software you can download a free trial of Aardmanâs Animate It! software. Youâll also need a desk lamp, some colouring pencils, felt tips, crayons, masking tape, Blu Tack and LOTS of A4 paper. Animation is actually very simple. When you animate clay characters or figures, you take a picture of something (or rather âyou capture a frameâ), then move your character and capture another frame. You repeat this process until your sequence is complete. With hand-drawn animation the process is slightly different. You draw something and capture a frame then you change the drawing slightly and capture another frame. Itâs easiest to draw on a flat surface so put your first sheet of paper on the table and fix with a tiny bit of Blu Tack.
