Critiquing Step
This week I received feedback on my step motion from the last week. The thing I need to work on is arcs while stepping from one leg to another.
This one is the new version where I fixed motion arcs while ‘hips’ are moving.
Walk Cycle
Now, when we finished with our steps, we can move to the walking cycle. I must say that this was hard but we made through it. The task was to animate basic walk so we could focus more on the focus on how the hip and legs work. This helped with better understanding of the hierarchy between them. We needed to animae the full cycle for a walk is the point from which one contact frame “cycles through” 1 time until it gets back to the first contact frame 2.
And this is my final animation.
Pose to Pose
The previous version of my pose-to-pose animation was too complex, thus, I had to simplify the action and make it more smooth.
P.S. Hand Poses
This week we swithed from the golden poses to the hand poses. I studied how hands and hands alone can impress characters emotions and their personality.
So this time I decided to use my own hand as a reference.
