Animation Exercises - Standard Run Cycle & Variation in Walks.

I managed to churn out a basic standard run cycle still focusing on the lower body movements only on Saturday morning. Was too tired to post it on the spot so I’m including it here.

Standard Run Cycle - Hip & Legs

Feeling a bit more confident about the standard cycles I’ve done I thought I’d naturally move on to some full body walks. I didn’t want to just keep doing one walk after another though (I’m trying to avoid the generic approach and inject a little creativity if possible) so I came up with a basic situation involving 2 characters, a change in emotion and a bit of walking. I’m incorporating 2 different types of walks for my main character in the scene, while telling part of a story. It’s still at the blocking stage for the most part, but at least it’s a start right?

Various Walks

That guy on the left will probably walk into the scene as well so that’s 1 more walk style I need to work on.
It seems the animation juices are kinda pumping at the moment eh? ;)
Cya soon!
