Everyday heroes

Chapter 336 Career Foundation
"Weekly task: [Professional foundation] Increase the animation drawing skill to level 3. Task reward: 3 months of internal strength, 2 points of character level experience, 3 points of proficiency in free skills."

"Strength attribute specialization improvement task: 10000 single-leg squats in standard posture. Task reward: chance of slight increase in strength attribute*1"

The single-leg squat in the weekly task description for strength improvement is actually quite difficult.

The single-leg squat is the pinnacle of difficulty in freehand squats, and it is also one of the ultimate exercises for lower body strength. It is extremely easy when the load on the knees is large, the leg muscles are not developed enough, and a correct posture cannot be maintained. hurt.

The legs are the pillars of the human body, which play a key role in moving the whole body. The exercise effect of this action can radiate to the spine, hips, thighs, calves and feet.

If this action is not done well, it is easy to hurt the knees. If it is done well, it can also protect and exercise the knees, making it a torture for knee joint injuries. In short, it depends on whether the posture is correct and the intensity of the exercise is appropriate.

The average person can do [-] sets in each group, four or five sets a day is considered very good.

If it is too much, it will put pressure on the hip and knee joints.

But Guan Lang is not an ordinary person, so even though 1 is somewhat difficult, it is still acceptable.

He still has plenty of time this week. In addition to allocating some time to improve his animation drawing skills, he still has a lot of time to spend on strength improvement tasks.

In the next few days, Guan Lang rationally allocated his time to final exams, improving skills, and physical exercise.

The schedule of the final exam is quite relaxed, you only need to bring your stationery and go to the exam room every day.

Then write for half an hour to an hour before handing in the paper and leaving the examination room.

Take one exam every day, and the arrangement of the exam is over in three days.

As a result, his study in the second semester of his junior year officially came to an end.

Time has quietly entered the long summer vacation with the joy in my heart.

With the bending of the hip of one leg and the knee of the supporting leg, Guan Lang's body sank suddenly, until the back of his thigh was tightly attached to his calf, and he couldn't continue to sink, then he bounced up explosively and supported him during the whole process The legs of the body are as stable as Mount Tai.

Guan Lang spit out scorching air, and walked into the bathroom with his slightly numb legs.

He does it with alternating legs and basically the same number of reps, so there's no need to worry about a power imbalance.

Flip the switch, and the overhead shower showers down the 37°C water column.

The water flow slid past his body from top to bottom, forming a light transparent film covering his strong muscles all over his body.

After strenuous exercise, the muscles in the legs like steel cables are still a little tense.

The hot water is like a pair of gentle hands, gently stroking the overloaded muscle tissue.

You shouldn't take a shower immediately after exercising, but with his physique, it shouldn't have any effect.

And it's not too comfortable to take a shower after exercising until you're sweaty and exhausted.

Just like everyone knows that it is not advisable to drink iced drinks after exercising, many people still drink after exercising, knowing that it is not good for the body, but it is cool.

Rationality tells you that it is not good to do so, but sensibility often does the opposite, shouting that I want it.

Amidst the steaming mist, Guan Lang walked out of the bathroom wearing a white towel.

Water droplets dripped from the black and smooth hair.

It's afternoon, and he's alone at home, so don't worry too much about it.

Flicking his hair, he leaned lazily on the sofa, and squeezed it out from the bookshelf on the wall behind him.

After strenuous exercise, the desire to move the body is not strong.

But the spirit is still very exciting, this state is suitable for learning.

These days, while reading books, he takes courses online, browses various animation websites, and continues to conduct self-study and practice, making rapid progress in animation production.

Not to brag, he himself felt that the high level of study in the past few days was a bit unbelievable. It may be that he was able to focus more on self-improvement without the energy involved in school chores.

He not only supplemented the animator's skill tree, but also supplemented and learned the use of animation production software little by little.

Although when computer technology is immature, smooth animation can be drawn with celluloid.

That kind of fluency is based on the artist's full understanding of action performance and spatial movement, and puts a large number of operations that can now be processed by computer software into the brain for conception, and finally draws a piece of celluloid.

But wouldn't it be better to use computer software to assist work more easily, saving energy and improving efficiency?
He has never rejected new technologies and software, nor will he insist on a pure hand-painted style.

No matter how powerful the software and technology are, the core does not lie in them, but in the animation performance and movement rules, and in the painters who draw them.

However, software is only an auxiliary tool after all, and the most important thing is the use of people. Even if you only use PS, you can complete the entire process of an animation from the early stage to the post-production output.

Of course, this is just an extreme case. Generally, animation production involves the cooperation of various software, and it would be better if more mature and systematic animation production tools can be used. After all, modern commercial animation is a large-scale cooperative Engineering, excellent software can greatly improve work efficiency.

Guan Lang is currently studying RETAS, AE, and MAYA
Among them, he has learned AE and MAYA before, and he got started quickly. However, it is the first time for him to come into contact with a professional [-]D animation production system like RETAS, and he has to start from the panel commands to get familiar with it.

Fortunately, many years have passed since the release of this software. There are countless tutorials and videos on the Internet. Basically, the confusion he encountered during the learning process has been encountered by others. He can easily find it by following the pictures. Corresponding solutions.

During the learning process, he gradually mastered the strengths and weaknesses of various software, and found out his own set of methods to make some coherent animation clips.

Regardless of the pre-stage script and the design of the storyboard, PS is used for the background, and the in-between painting of the original painting is scanned to the computer with a scanner, and then RETAS is used to trace the lines to refine the coloring, and AE is responsible for the post-production special effects.
He has initially mastered the application of various software, and the next step is to continue to deepen his learning during the practice process and improve his upper limit.

Mainly around the learning of the later stage of AE.

The smoothness and dynamics of the animation picture depends on the artist's solid hand-painting skills and grasp of the laws of motion. This is something that software can't help, but it doesn't matter. He is still confident in his hand skills, but the light pollution in the later stage Gorgeous special effects, you need to rely on software processing.
