2D in 3D – Ice Cream Animation Process – Maya
In this video, I will go over how I animated this flat character in Maya, the way I set up the layout, and discuss how well the rig held up during animation. In the previous videos, I showed my process for rigging this character, and this is the animation test to see how well the rig is working.
