Spline is a final process. After the breakdown is finished, the animator will add overlap. Overlap is the magic of animation. Basically, every bone in the human body doesn't move at the same time; there must be some delay. In 3D, doing overlap is easy; you can just move the frame of some bones, as the head moves it 3 frames, so the body and the head have a delay.

Blocking Plus poses a breakdown. There are three types of common breakdowns. Upbreakdown, downbreakdown, and mixbreakdown: basically, in between the poses, they make another pose; they turn down or make all the bones down a little bit in downbreakdown. It makes the animation alive and has an arc.

Blocking is the equivalent of key poses of 2D animation. Basically, in 3D, you just make pose to pose, and it can be used with bezier interpolation or constant interpolation, based on the pipeline.

In 3D animation, the workflow will be Blocking>Blocking Plus>Spline
Small example: I made a little animation of Clover Club by Hatsune Miku with March Model.

After that, you will learn about breakdown in character animation.

Breakdown is the biggest difference between Anime and Disney or other Western animation.

When you learn 2d animation, you will encounter a ball, a brick, a ball with a tail, and a sack of flour as exercises before going to character animation.

5 Years ago, I made this.

The reason, because I was interested with Komi-san character, and decided to make a simple/cute moment.

The catalyst of hand-drawn animation in the West and in the East.
In the West, Treasure Planet (2002).
In the east, Redline (2009).
I will dissect and make a thread of this decline, and it made Disney shift into 3d after The Treasure Planet, and the same as in the east, but not into 3d, yet into digital. However, in the east, there is hope: Studio Ponoc, the studio that continues Ghibli's heritage.

The most stylish anime, 7 years developing. Almost made Madhouse bankrupt. 100k drawn cells, fully hand-drawn, with no CGI. If Memories (1995) is the hardest anime in terms of groundbreakingness and technicality, Redline (2009) is the most labor-intensive anime in the industry.

Chess piece is the best thing to learn if you want to advance 3D Modeling. Because each piece has a different way of modelling and level, the easiest one is the Pawn, after that the King, after that the Rook, after that the Queen, after that the Bishop, and lastly the Knight.

The body is done, but it still makes me overthink and tweak it a lot.

Face needs some tweaks. For anime, the face is much simpler than stylized, as it does not focus on deformation but shading. Right now, I will need more time to learn if it's stylized.

Made this in a coffee shop, a child was running around, and he saw it. Immediately, I felt a heavy side eye from the mother...
Well, the references I used for topology can be seen as a naked lady in people's eyes.

As the character is asymmetrical, I used mirror and it become weird, the glove and the pocket are using instant transmission.
Now, next step is expression sheet and maybe some simple expression animation.
