I probably am not suppose to announce this but... errrrgggghhh.... its impossible for me to keep a secret.

Alonso Soriano has been working hard to help aspiring animators realize their goals and get to animating.

As such he initiated the Animation Bootcamp hosted in the Student Forum.
Now he's moved to the next level and compiled a series of tutorials and enhanced his Bootcamp even more.

With apologies to Alonso...

Experience it here:

...and don't forget to post your Bootcamp results in the Student Forum - Forum #35 on your A:M dial.

Alonso, nice tutorials. I didn't get a chance to go through all of it, but what I've seen seems great.

rolleyes.gif Thank you, thank you. The tuts are a big help. Beside trying to teach myself I'm working with my 13 year old daughter learning all these wonderful things. Love the layout and the approach.

Congratulations to Alonso!!!

GREAT TUTORIALS!

Although I am way beyond them, I'll read them all very carefully: 'repetitio est...', but also for the quality of the tutorials (Alonso manages to put inside even keyboard shortcuts and all that users might find useful)

I have not seen such a nice (and complete) introductory tut ever since 'I am walking'

Bravo Alonso!

Excellent tutorials - very well put together - I should think a new user would find them incredibly useful - (even an old user as well can benefit for refreshers) - Thanks, Alonso.

Glad people are finding them usefull. And thanks to Rodney for getting them up, and then announcing them (my stupid internet's been more off than on so I haven't managed to announce them.)

Now get to animating smile.gif

I haven't had a chance to look/work through Alonso's Tutorials but this one looks really neat:

Cartoon Eyes Tutorial


Very expressive cartoon eyes that (to me) break the CG mold and look a bit more like traditional animated character eyes.

Alonso's Tutorials Menu



Whole Project
This tutorial goes through a project from opening A:M to rendering. On the menu page there are hot links to: attaching the limbs, building hands, building a head, rigging, animating, and getting that all white background (among other things)

you can also download this whole tutoriall so you can use it offline. Also the project is downloadable for you to pick apart. The model and animation aren't super advance because they were laid out fast, but the principles are the same you would use for a more advanced project.


Cartoon Eyeballs
short tut on modeling and rigging them.

How to Animate basically it's my description of the 12 principles, sometimes hearing it from a different voice makes it click. Also has common Newbie mistakes for a more direct step by step on animating see the Animation Section of the Whole Project tutorial

Ultra BootCamp Finally there's the new Ultimate Bootcamp, a little more self directed than the last one but if you go through it you'll come out with a demo reel ready to work on the Wizard of Oz Tinman project.

Here's the Original Bootcamp for comparison

Most of the A:M Tuts links have been off line for years.
I'm not sure its worth bothering Jason to save anything.

If you have the original Extra CD all of Alonzo's Bootcamp Tutorials should be there.

Edit:
Maybe Jason fixed something as this link works for me:

If it doesn't work for you... yup... we should contact Jason.
