Birds&Dragon
Turn:
1. not sysmetrical wing, when it turns left, the left side wind will bend more than the right side
2. the tail will keep balance, look at the tail turn
Gliding:
avid the obstacle, the wind
Flutter&landing
change direction
Landing-happen in the mid flight, approach the landing, go over obstacle, the body will be vertical, the legs are dangling
Bird Anatomy:
When it flaps, more frames on down position than up, to overcome the air pressure, and Humerus always parallel to Carpometacarpus.

Dragon has more weight. It's a tricky animal. But I love it so much, it is so cool to fly in the air. The most difficult part is the neck movement . Head leads chest, chest lead wing, then the tail.........It needs more time to fly , the body needs more wavy and flexible.

Pelican Reference lab------http://www.unc.edu/~thedrick/movies.html
Bird Rotation Axis-------(Helpful)
Useful Tutorial----------
http://brendanbody.blogspot.com/search/label/TutorialsBig creature weight:
body transform, the line of the upper body and pelvis rotate
the shoulder pops up after hits the ground
the shoulder needs to be raised in the air, then when it reaches the ground , it comes down, after that it will pop up again.
keep the feet alive
draw a line from the head to the tail--------much animals are straight
add wobble on the neck, three controllers
Animal Turn:
3 important things for the animal turn:
1. Head turn indicating
2. Hip initiate
3. Front leg steps first
2 kinds of turn
high speed turn(dramatic turn)
tighter turn
factors: flexibility (like a cat compared to a horse)Horse is more straight
Turn Radius:
Horse not going to have flexibility
move at the same time
lead mostly with the inside feet
Reference:Barrel Racing- no reins
Nice strong force line
How to pose a character: (tips)

Dynamic posing:
Graphic design courses
Focal point------Head
All the lines should draw up to the head
supportive line, action line
forward line of action
Anatomy--------bones broken
where's the hip bone
Anatomy-------the bones broken... how the silhouette works
study: Anatomy, figure drawing, mocap
spend ur time on the poses
one leg curl, and another leg stand straight, 90 degree
Questions: do you have suggestions for how to practice dynamic poses?
see how it move to the next pose, work on one pose first
compensate with the mind
Suggestions: Make sure ur pose is readable, make sure u don't break any bones of the poses
take a look at action figure and statue( not come across those awkward poses)
when u move on to next pose, see how it works for the last pose, compensate the center of the mesh( 支撑身体的一部分）
