Title: Odd character walk cycles
Post by: Jam Torkberg on Sun 01/08/2004 22:16:48
Greetings, all, long time no see.

Here, for your perusal, are some walk cycles I put together.  I'm fairly content with them, but I've been staring at them for a day and a half, so my eyes are probably accustomed to them, and a few more opinions would be much appreciated.  Thus, I set them out here, for all to see!  All comments and especially criticism are welcome, of course.

wow.. spiffy animations. but I was not so sure about the backward forward bobbing of the head (in the side view). Does the head actually bob that much?

Looking good.  I particularly like the fact that you redrew every frame.  The side view's head bobbing does looks a little weird to me, like Babloyi said.

He looks like he is dancing!

Maybe you shouldnt make the arms swing from side to side, but front to back and whatnot.

Nice !

I agree that the backward forward bobbing of the head at the side view
is too much.

Good call about the head, I agree.  It was actually much worse, at one stage.  I likely didn't notice that it bobs too much as it's still an improvement over the head-banging he used to be doing.

Also, Pirate Jack, sorry to say I don't see the dancing.  Perhaps it is more convincing if he is actually moving from left to right.  We'll see.

I think Jack may have meant that the front view looks like he's dancing.... but I think that motion will change that, too...
