Spaceman Run Cycle

BradleyMAdams

During the University of Portsmouth GameJam this week (09/06/16) I had to model, texture, rig and animate this character. The game required various animations such as idles, walks, jumping, flying, death and attack animations. What was unique was that as the engine was unity and a 2d game, I rendered out the animations from a orthographic view in which I then set the rendered frames into a sprite-sheet for the programmer to implement into unity.

Nice work Bradley! Especially given the time constraints of a game jam.
My only feedback is that I would have expected a spaceman to have more of a low gravity style walk cycle.

I like it. The head is quite stiff, but this could be coming from the stiff helmet. In this case, he could compensate the stiffness with more motion on the body.

Thanks guys and yeah I myself can see some improvements needed but I've dedcided to leave it as it is, due to the gamejam being over and I wanted something to show what I could do in what was 1 day of various animations for the character.
