Title: Looking for 1 strut 2 strut post
Post by: Etcher Squared Games on Tue 26/04/2005 17:35:20
Hey guys,

I've been looking for some good books an doing some animations to improve my artwook.  I've been trying to something that contains stuff like "here's how to do a walk"  "here's someone sitting" "someone standing" etc etc.

I saw a post on here a few days ago where someone scanned in a page of a book that showed something like 8 frames of a 1 strut walk and 8 frames of a 2 strut walk.

Unfortunatly, my IE crashed while looking at that post.

1. I can't remember the forum.
2. I can't remember the poster.
3. I can't remember the topic.
4. I've searched and searched and have had NO luck finding that post

could someone please either point me towards the thread, the poster, or perhaps the book in question.

thank you

Quite possibly this.

The book is Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair.

Also another good book is The Animator's Survival Guide from Richard Williams. It got recommended on these forums quite a lot about a year ago by some highly skilled people of the community.

I ordered it, and it is indeed a very good read. Amazon ships it, among many others. :)
