Animata

So, I've been eager to see what programs I'd be using and learning about in this course and across the past few days or so I got to learn about Animata. This program allows me to grab a picture, set vertices on it and place a bone structure on it. So basically by grabbing a picture and placing the bone and vertices where i see fit, I'm able to move the picture around like a puppet basically. It's really quite interesting and really makes it feel like I accomplished something after I learned how to use it effectively. I ended up using a picture of myself during my year 13 year for a good laugh and managed to make the picture of myself, in a nerd outfit suspenders, pulled up pants, taped glasses and all do a little dance move with a small pelvis kinda thrust action. Took a while to wrap my head around it but I managed to do it in the end which was quite an achievement for me.
