It's the end of the school year right now, so things are pretty crazy at the moment, but perhaps in July we can have you over.Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-29126394467962251492013-06-04T20:31:27.393-07:002013-06-04T20:31:27.393-07:00Ronnie, I really like that you're starting thi...Ronnie, I really like that you're starting this way, without the pelvis stuff. Get this looking good (which means training yr eye to see this stuff), and then you'll have a lot easier time when you start animating the pelvis--in a new walk cycle!<br /><br />And don't forget--walks can be funny. Geez, I remember standing in line at Office Depot and they were trying to sell TV's...they had some classic Looney Tunes playing--a Tweety and Sylvester cartoon. And they had this totally incidental tennis player do a walk on--and he had the funniest bounding walk. I copied it for a Jessie (Toy Story) walk cycle, and it came out pretty lively (tho' it had a hitch in the cycle I never did remove).Davis Chinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168954208679712542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-85811132776618119372013-06-04T19:11:36.011-07:002013-06-04T19:11:36.011-07:00Good book.

I'm going by the Richard Williams five-stage-per-strike walk cycle ('contact - passing postion -contact' with the 'down' after the first contact and the 'up' after the passing position) method.

Definitely needs some pelvic rotation. Spinal action is MIA, too (although I don't want to overdo it). Overall, he's definitely too wooden (arms in particular). Thanks for the constructive crits and suggestions, Marty!<br /><br />Still learning the ins-and-outs of Blender, but I can say it's a very well thought-out system. Some great tools there and there are some built in nice touches to this rig (bendy limbs, for instance) that are really nice. <br />Surly Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577852160598674926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-62266232357231210762013-06-04T18:19:56.169-07:002013-06-04T18:19:56.169-07:00I think this Blender direction is a good thing.
Ni...I think this Blender direction is a good thing.<br />Nice walk cycle. I do think there is a hard heel hit. Kind of the way I walk if you go by my shakey cam videography.MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-80117582283525199402013-06-04T16:31:40.446-07:002013-06-04T16:31:40.446-07:00Oh, and thank you for the very kind words!

I dig the insouciance.<br /><br />Maybe your body "hit" on each foot strike could be softened just a wee bit...? That or get a little more overlap to soften it (tho' you don't want to go overboard on that kinda thing). <br /><br />On yr next walk cycle you might play with rotating the pelvis--either side-to-side or fore-aft (I'd pick one or the other for starters, tho' ultimately you'll want to be able to do both).<br /><br />Looking good! We're counting on you to develop some cool animations to make this blog look pro!!Davis Chinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168954208679712542noreply@blogger.com
