• Follow Through and Overlapping Action: The Animation Principle That Prevents Stiff Motion

  mardi 4 août 2026

  

  Follow through & overlapping action are two animation principles that make movements feel more natural and lifelike. It is one of Disney’s 12 principles of animation to make motion believable. One of the main problems it solves is stiff motion.

  Stiff motion occurs when an object moves from one position to another at a constant speed and stops suddenly. In reality, body parts and objects slow down, overlap, and settle naturally rather than stopping instantly.

  This guide covers how follow-through and overlapping action make animation more natural and the physics behind it. We’ll also talk about body hierarchy, material timing, and how all these concepts can be observed in popular films.

  We’ll also be giving practical exercises for you, so you can master follow-through and overlapping action in your own work.

• What Is a T-Pose in 3D Animation and Why It’s Still Used

  mercredi 10 juin 2026

  

  In 3D animation, a T-pose refers to a "esting stance" of a character model where it stands upright, both arms raised to the side parallel to the shoulders, forming a "T". It has been the standard since the 90s until today, as it makes character modeling and animation more efficient.

  In this guide, we'll discuss what the T-pose is, how it helps with modeling and animation, and why it's still being used today.
