3d character design and animation

The design and animation of a 3D character will be without any doubt the biggest challenge for this semester. I am completely new to this subject so I’ve started from the beginning reading the 12 Principles of animation by the’old men’ of Walt Disney Studios, amongst them Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, during the 1930s. Although they were created more than 80 years ago they are still relevant today:

Oscars fashion review 2013

Of all the dresses in the world, why these? 

This is how Lisa Armstrong describes this year’s ceremony. There aren’t many work of art gowns at the 85th academy awards - most of the starlets have opted for not too bright, not too extravagant or simply put boring dresses.

Here are the few exceptions - from worst to best dressed:
