I was a springboard diver in college and it took me all 4 years to get up to par with the kids at our winter training facility!anim8dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163982411548251104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248341596629159263.post-15744308849915425242011-04-06T13:29:20.900-07:002011-04-06T13:29:20.900-07:00Tukong, Korean Martial Arts mixed with soft style ...Tukong, Korean Martial Arts mixed with soft style and lots of weapons. http://masteryi.com/.<br /><br />Though I have been liking kettlebells for lifting stuff since the movement can be very dynamic and pluses my martial arts movements.bclarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322839687496033884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248341596629159263.post-3114134678552088372011-04-06T09:58:49.251-07:002011-04-06T09:58:49.251-07:00LOL about the rusted car, but yes, you hit it righ...LOL about the rusted car, but yes, you hit it right on there, John.<br /><br />Brad, what kinds of kicking are we talking here?

You'll be like me with screws and rods in your back (although mine was not from a mistake like that). <br /><br />Plus, as Brad pointed out, 3D is all about the body. Knowing how it works because you're using it is going to make you a better modeler, rigger or animator. Knowing how sunlight affects a room or bounces off a chair because you went outside one day is going to make you a better lighter. Seeing a rusted up car on your lawn... Means you should probably get rid of it, but it'd make you a better texturer as well.Arrant Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429951605169155374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248341596629159263.post-48316199086637214722011-04-05T22:27:38.359-07:002011-04-05T22:27:38.359-07:00Great post, the more time spent learning and worki...Great post, the more time spent learning and working in the real world the the better the work done on the computer seems to be. <br /><br />I like kicking things more than lifting things but the process of knowing my own body continues to be a source of learning and the source for improvement in character rigging and deformations and animation. Art or creation of something takes huge amounts of energy and mental effort. You learn and increase that ability , not from spending more time on the computer, but through physical effort directed at a goal, mind and body as one.bclarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322839687496033884noreply@blogger.com
