Hello JesseMilesChainsaw! Good start , I remember that I struggled alot with animal walk cycle D: !! right now the walk feels like the computer is doing alot of transitions by itself , get more control over your animal :) !! What really help me understand how the animal move ( 4 legs ) was this picture and of course all…
So I'm making the switch from Rigging Tech Artist to more of a Technical Animator. The problem is, even though I've done a fair amount of animation, I don't have much to show for it. I've been concentrating on learning Python for the last year or so, so I'm kind of rusty with the animation. I started animating some of my…
I haven't posted here yet but I've been reading up since the beginning, I love how you pushed your animation compared to the first clips you showed! The roar is looking good, but the creature's left arm seems too slow and linear when he moves it forward. It needs more weight. I think the tail coud be more snappy when he…
Thank you, the tail has been a challenge for sure, I'll probably go back and do it all over again as it's just kind of out of control after so man little tweaks. Thanks! good to be here. I'll probably do a whole new run from scratch and rethink how I want him to move. I was going off a lion run. This is great! I'll see…
Some good stuff in here, Jesse. But also some not so good stuff. I'm going to try my best to crit it with this video, but if you`d like a more in depth critique, could you please upload your file to http://syncsketch.com/ and post the link? that way we can do draw overs and stuff. The Walk Lets start with the feet. The…
Hito just completed a beast run cycle; you could inspire from him or ask questions on how he achieved it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as_JTLUQnBc But wait; what's the difference between a Rigger and a technical animator? Aren't both the same?
Yo Jesse! It's been awesome seeing your animation skills improve through this guy. I think the new idle is great. I agree with @AGoodFella. I think it would feel better if it went a bit faster into to roar but I also think if you held him out there after the roar for a bit before retreating it would feel even nicer. Really…
Hey everyone, been a while, I'm still on that idle and I added a roar, any feedback is very appreciated! https://vimeo.com/163484900

Looking good Jesse! I'm thinking you could afford to push the secondary movement in the face on the Walk a bit more, to give it some great lumbering. The run seems just a little slow, personally, kind of feels like a jog at the moment. I think it could use a couple less frames to really give it a sense of urgency. Also the…
