Animation

There is something very wrong with this animation. I'm pleased with his arm and leg movements, but his headbobbing seems wrong for some reason, and I feel that more of his body should bob or something, but I can't put my finger on it. All help on the animation much appreciated!

Yes, more of the body should bob - maybe move the shouldes too?

Instead of just having the head bob, have from the head down to the waist band bob up and down.

Gonna need to "normalize" the shading between frames as well ... it's creating a flashing effect that is distracting.

As has been said the static shoulder/waist lines is the problem. Just add a matching 1 pixel hop to them and you should be golden.

Thanks

Yes, I saw the flashing when I first posted it here, and has fixed that part.
I also realized something I did mighty wrong now. The head goes down, and so does the hair. The hair would go more up when his head goes down... Correct me if I'm wrong! (just thinking out loud)

I'll post the new edit as soon as it's done! Meanwhile, if there are anyone else who has any suggestions, I'd be glad to take them.

Well, the legs are great.

The way he wiggles his arm, he looks a bit... ahem.. gay.

I don't know if he's supposed to look like that?

Gay? I didn't know gay people did that with their hands..

No, I know they don't!

Understand where you are going at, but the arms stay

Quick edit.

1. Made shoulders move to go with the extreme arm motion.
2. Made hair motion a bit more fluid.
3. Made him go down on a down step.
4. Made stomach move a bit.

The leg and arm motion is very good. Nice work!

@ProgZ: Thanks for the great edit! I tried to make the bob look natural, but I really didnt understand how to, until I saw your edit!

Thanks everyone for your crits too!

What I did:

Quote1.Ã,Â Made shoulders move to go with the extreme arm motion.
2.Ã,Â Made hair motion a bit more fluid.
3.Ã,Â Made him go down on a down step.
4.Ã,Â Made stomach move a bit.

Sorry for the taking of time! I'm still not that pleased with it, but again I can't seem to put my finger on it!

You can't fool me Victor! You just used the new year as an excuse to bump your thread!

As I told you on msn, you've got it sorted now!
