Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
not too bad on timing... I do think your anticipation back before getting ready to grab the sword it weird. Not really how someone would go about grabbing a sword. You moved the pelvis side to side and left the feet planted to the ground. I think your pose where he finally picks up the sword needs to come up higher and… -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
Here's my advice as an animator: This is too early to fully crit, so much of it feels wrong simply b/c it's not blocked out fully yet. What I would say to you as you continue is this: Keep pushing the heavyness of the sword to the outer limits, push it to the point where its stupidly fantastically heavy, and then just… -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
Hey Mezz I'm not an animator, but every animator I ever knew worth their salt was also always a great actor. Do you by chance have a video camera you can get a hold of? I think you'd really benefit from having someone take a video of you performing this very action and you can really exaggerate the motion. Right now… -
Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
Hallo all!! I am back with another animation in the works :) I am working on weight, espeically on the shifting of weight, since I feel this is a very important element that I need to master--that I have certainly not mastered yet. :P So, I've made this simple animation that I'm hoping will improve said skill. This is… -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
I was never much of an animator myself but a few things stick out pretty clearly to me. id stress the slow out of the lift far more and add some overlapping action to the blade. I find it a bit odd that they are able to lift it above their head in 1 fluid move but cant hold its weight. its like its a light sword that was… -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
Hey there. Nice start. I don't know too much about animation , but how about you spent another second or so at the beginning when he grabs the sword. Perhaps he can adjust his hands for better grip and give it a try while he feels the swords is really heavy. I hope this helps :) -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
off to a good start something other people havent really mentioned. if you pick up a heavy sword like that, the entire sword isnt going stay horizontal if you pick up the handle, the tip of the sword will drag along the table first. -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
good start Mezz, I might, just focus on one of these two movements for the time being, either the grab-lift-swing or the walk up. Around 0:03 when he shifts weight before garbing the sword is over exaggerated and and gets way off his cog. While it looks like he's lifting something heavy, the sword doesn't react like it has… -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
It's pretty good on the timing but the one thing that throws it off is that you have 0 clavicle movement. The clavicles movement is essential for displaying the weight of the sword. -
Re: Heavy sword grab animation - Critiques, please!
Thanks a lot for the comments, everyone!! I keep feeling that--that I really need to start filming the stuff I want to do. But everytime, I seem to get it in my head that it's simple enough I can just plan what I want, act it out a bit, thmbnail roughly, and make it awesome. This is clearly not working quite as well as I…
