Hello Polycount! I've ventured into the four legged animations. I would like some feedback for both my walk and run. I don't know if anyone has worked with this rig before. I found it a little hard to smooth the run animation. Either way, feedback is much appreciated! :) http://vimeo.com/167209841
Alright! I never noticed that about the walk. I revised both cycles according to the walk/run in the back of the Animation Survival Guide. http://vimeo.com/167509117 Better?
I have to say that I feel that the run animation looks solid aside from a little bit of jumps in the frame when the fox is retracting it's legs but there's something about the walk animation. I think that the front paw movement expects too much that contact with the floor. Usually the leg carries the paw forward before…
good start! Do you have reference videos of dogs? or even better if you or someone you know have a dog, watch them to get a feel for how they move. The walk stride is a bit too stretched, pull in the furthest reach for the back and front feet. The feet timing needs a little more offset... you have a frame or two between…
