Hi everyone, my first post on polycount here :) I wanted to try animation for a change, so now I'm working on making animations for a stylized tiger concept I made earlier. I just finished a run cycle and now I'm working on a jump animation. Any feedback is welcome! (Also reference material is welcome too, I'm having a…
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I added the finished jump animation to the startpost :) Thanks for the edit, @Chimp ! That already makes it look way better. I'm probably going to revisit every animation once I finished the rest of the animations.
Interesting animation. Try to work a bit more on the weight of the animal, even though is stylized, you should be able to feel it. For example, on the jump animation, really spring the body, place the upper body on top of the rear legs to give the weight to the jump. Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qerL893QDTY
I don't do 2d animations so I do the know the effort put into this, but just as someone in the audience, I think it's awesome! The only thing that compelled me to write this is that at the end of the animation, the tigers front left elbow makes a fairly clean right angle. I don't know if this is purposeful or not or even…
for the jump animations, felines tend to raise their front legs in anticipation before jumping. they tuck them under the chin and the head tends to be really stable during the jump. eyes on the prize ^^
This Tiger animation is really lovely ! I want to see it running in the wild. Great edit by the way @Chimp, it does feels way more natural just dividing the number of frames !
original: edit: its a hacky edit where i've simply and indiscriminately halved the frame count. this edit alone isnt sufficient, but i think you should start refining it by dropping your number of frames and making better use of them, dont want floaty, do want snappy and characterful. Wants some breath in the bound and…
Hi! your animation looks rock solid ! If you need some jumping references, I worked on tigers a few month ago so let me share what I found : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWpo74Ba1aA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6r-Vf3fcVY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfpA2TixqUw hope it helps ;) It looks a LOT like a house cat,…
Nice work..How did you get the stripes and details to be so proportionate. Did you use After Effects or some sort of morphing tool to get the stripes and soft shading to look consistent? Reminds me of this guys work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CP3RTD9G_8 Yep, no 3d involved. and Klaus, the animated movie sergio pablo…
