Via Spline Doctors
"After looking at about 50 people, it seems that stepped mode for blocking is the preferred approach. The following graphics show Industry to blocking style and years in the biz to blocking style. Take a look at the graphs. Some interesting results. It seems like I am in the minority… I have used spline transition blocking for my 14 years at pixar. It was one of the only ways to work when I started and it all changed when the incredibles go going. I do see the strength of Step mode and I do use it in Pre Production. Linear for me does not make sense and Layering is good for certain types of shots in my honest opinion (mostly action shots). All in all what counts is clarity. Everyone has a different way to work. What I have seen not work is too much complexity in the beginning. Keeping is rough and simple seems to be good. Some animators really work for strong poses in the very beginning stages and I see the benefit to this. Thanks to everyone for participating and please keep adding feedback. Next I am going to Poll animators around the office."
