Quadruped WalkCycle - looking for feedback

Fabulous_Fab

Hello fellow animators,

I've spent the last couple of days experimenting with a quadruped cycle for my demo reel. This is my first attempt animating a quadruped character so I'm looking for some feedback and critique.

Looks pretty cool!

I would say that the front fingers tend to roll just a bit too much. Maybe a bit more head bob?

It needs more up and down for the hips and front chest.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will post an updated version ASAP.

Yes I totally agree with AGoodFella. Also try to accentuate every movement a little bit. A bit of exaggeration is very good for animations in general.

Really nice. I think the tail is a bit too stiff for the speed the creature is moving. It would require too much energy to keep the tail straight like that. I also agree that it could use some more headbobbing. Overall really cool!

Hey guys,

I've updated the version in the first post based on your feedback. Please let me know what you think

It was a long time ago since I saw the first one so I can´t really compare. But I really like what I´m seeing in this iteration.

I would actually like to see more of it, a longer animation perhaps. Keep up the good work mate

Thanks for the kind words. I'm definitely planning to do some more quadruped animations as soon as I've finished my demo reel.
