Anim. help needed: Drunk guy walking

[abstauber]

I made it a little more choppy and updated the previous animation. But all torso movement experiments ended in lousy results

[Matti]

Nice work, abstauber. I think the final version looks quite good and I'd go with it.

[Tuomas]

Thought I'd share some views. First of all, as pointed out, a drunken guy would probably wobble about randomly. Animating that would be hell if you had long walking sequences. But your animation is great, it's really good enough, even though it looks like someone who's weary from walking 50 miles or kilometres.

I was just thinking... Is it just me, or does his legs grow longer when they reach out back?

[Captain Ricco]

in any case it would do a great zombie walk

maybe you could make his feet cross ocasionnally?

but i think it looks good already, but not drunk enough for a funny scene based on that

[abstauber]

Thanks for your feedback, Tuomas and Ricco.
I'll add some bursting bubbles above his head, that should raise the fun level a bit

But apart from I think it's better to let go of my perfectionism and keep the walkcycle for now, as it seems like it works for most of you. Nonetheless I've learned quite a lot from this animation and your advices so I hope the next one will be better.

Thanks again.
