History[edit] In the later days of silent film, the popular animated cartoons of Max Fleischer included a series where his cartoon character Koko the Clown interacted with the live world; for example, having a boxing match with a live kitten. The Disney studio mixed live action and animation in several notable films (which are primarily considered live-action): With the commercial and technological success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam, a number of live-action/animated films followed from other studios, including Cool World, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action - though none of them have had any major commercial success equal to Roger Rabbit or Space Jam. The combination of live action and animation is very common in TV commercials, especially those promoting products appealing to children.

CドライブをOS丸ごと引越す方法。SSD/HDD交換はEaseUS Todo Backupでサクッと簡単に | Ask for Windows Cドライブ(システムドライブ)の容量が不足してきた場合や、パフォーマンスの問題、不具合など色々なパターンがありますが、何らかの理由で、システムが入っているHDDやSSDを交換したい時があるかと思います。 新しいドライブで新規インストールを行うのも一つの方法ですが、旧ドライブからのデータ移行や各ソフトの設定バックアップ、インストール後のセットアップなど、「Cドライブの引越し」には何かと手間がかかります。 そこで登場するのが、非常に強力なディスクのクローンの作成機能を持つ「EaseUS Todo Backup」。 このアプリは、MBR領域などの起動ディスク情報までを含む、完全なるCドライブのクローンを作成することができますので、「Cドライブの引越し」にこれを使わない手はありません。 ここでは、EaseUS Todo Backupを使った「Cドライブの引越し」方法を紹介します。 ※ここでは有料版の「EaseUS Todo Backup home」を使って紹介していますが、フリー版でも同様の操作が可能です。 ディスクのクローンを作ってCドライブを丸ごと引越す 手順はとても簡単です。 まずはEaseUS Todo Backupをインストールし起動します。 EaseUS Todo Backupを起動すると、画面右上に「クローン」ボタンが用意されていますのでまずはこれをクリック。 「クローン」のボタンをクリックすると次の画面が表示されますので、クローンの元(ソース)になるディスクを選びます。 次にディスクの内容をコピーする先(ターゲット)を選び「次へ」をクリックします。 ここは良く注意してディスクを選びましょう。 「実行」をクリック、クローン作成が開始されます。 あとは、ソフトにお任せで数十分待つだけです。 なお、今回は、128GBのSSDから320GBのHDDへのコピーを行なおうとしていますが、ディスクのパーティションのサイズも完全に同じ形でコピーが作られますので、ターゲットのHDDの後ろ側に空き領域ができることが表示されています。 クローン作製中。 クローン作成が完了しました。 実データ量60GBほどの128GB SSDからのクローン作成に要した時間は15分弱です。 しかし、クローンを作成した先のHDDは、先ほど見たように後ろ170GBちょっとが空いたままになっています。 パーティションサイズを調整する

Maya Tutorials -- Rigging for Animation Maya Tutorials -- Rigging for Animation Page 1 of 7 Nothing is more frustrating to an animator than a slow rig. This tutorial will show you some simple tricks and techniques that will help you speed up your characters for animation. The ultimate goal is real-time playback. If you feel like all your rigs are just a garbled mess, or just need a little guidance to get you moving in the right direction, then this tutorial will help you get the ball rolling. I’ll try to keep the “boring” stuff to a minimum, and get right to the point with what you need. Using Different Resolutions: Having different resolutions of the character you are working with can dramatically increase the speed of your rig. Low Resolution: Your low-resolution rig should be more accurately modeled to fit your character. High Resolution: This is your final rig, with the high-res model bound to the joints. Using different resolutions for rigging can create problems, too. I’d like to make a quick note about referencing.
