Hi, I'm working on an astronaut character (will be doing the robot later on) and need help from you guys. I want to animate this character, but as you can see he has very short legs and arms. I already tried animating him walking but it does not look good at all, basically he can make only really short steps - if I try…
I think you should use an alpha image for the eyes. As for the animation, try making him jump into the air as his legs are extended, that way you can make him clear more space with his little legs. Also might want to add some polys to his arms so you can bend them. Looks pretty good for such a small character.
Great character :) Have you seen the Majestic 12 thread? The character has fairly similar proportions and there is a SDK available. It looks like they've got some great animations with him. Maybe check those out.
