This was the final project of my 3D layout class. We were given the original storyboard animatic sequence from Toy Story when Woody discovers Buzz on Andy’s bed and we had to layout the sequence with rough layout animation in Maya with the Andy bedroom set and character models provided. We were also tasked with rough modeling Buzz’s box for the sequence. Our main goal was to block out rough character movement, acting, framed with in a camera shot that best matched the board’s poses and camera shots. Overall, I learned how to set Maya up for a layout workflow, how to match scenes to storyboards to best match storyboard camera shots, and methods to help further hone my skills as a layout artist in 3D animation.
