Re: Karate Kata animation
Hey there, Very impressive indeed! You've definitely followed the example video very carefully--too carefully actually, as you've animated some technical errors of the karateka: (Note: I won't go into every little detail, as there are as many different ways of doing this kata as there are styles of karate, but a couple… -
Karate Kata animation
I've been working on this for a few weeks now on my spare time, My goal was to mimic the Kata movements in the source video. Many thanks to poopinmymouth for the use of his Naruto model. Download directory is here: http://www.trepid.net/sinistar/misc/wip/index.php?subdir=miscellaneous&sortby=name "Naruto_HeianNidan_r6.avi"… -
Re: Karate Kata animation
Going along with the soft/hard comments, I think you could definitely punch up the animation timing. One thing I learned from studying Wushu is that it's a lot like animation, you can use slowing in/out to give it that really quick, snappy action. You can snap into a punch, slow into the next movement, speed it up, slow in… -
Re: Karate Kata animation
Thanks for the comments everyone. I've been working on the timing of the punches, as well as the feet placement. I haven't had time to render another version yet, but I'll work on it some more over the weekend and post an update after then. This animation is more challenging then I thought it would be. :P On a similar… -
Re: Karate Kata animation
Good start. You might like to track down a step by step guide to doing the kata, which shouldn't be hard to find on the net. Some of the stances are clearly wrong in your animation. The shoulder rigging could use abit of a touch up too. -
Re: Karate Kata animation
hehe rotoscoping ftw I think it lacks some basic fundamentals, such as anticipation and the correct application of weight. just of the top of my head, the feet should come in contact with the ground, then have the body put its weight on them. right now, their keyframes look to be at the same frame, so I mean the feet and… -

Re: Karate Kata animation
Bruce Lee said his punches/kicks were like 'an iron ball at the end of a chain' so that they snap at the moment of contact, like a towel whipping. I think your guy could do with more snap. Also the force behind those moves comes up from the feet, through the guy's 'centre', there's something slightly 'off' with the 3d guys… -
Re: Karate Kata animation
Looks perdy good, although from the looks of it he's got some pretty damn weak technique. His movements are very soft, try to make everything look hard, like he's actually hitting something with every move. (Which is how a kata should be done) -
Re: Karate Kata animation
Ah thats very cool! they all look the same though. I've been doing shaolin kung fu for almost 5 years now, boy would that be tricky. I'll see if I can''t track down a video or two for you to have some fun with :]. Karate sprung from a certain series of techniques that served as the basis for shaolin longfist.
