Been working on another animation! This time, it's a short scene with a character on crutches. I'm a little slow to posting the thread this time, but better late than never! First, I did his walk cycle: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcxRx2rH62c"]Walk W/ Crutches Animation (Test 02) - YouTube[/ame] I've already…
Thanks, Redwake! I see what you mean, but at this point, I feel like it's too late into the project to tinker with it too much. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future animations, so thanks a lot! Trying to get some nice lighitng and camera movements going now. Here's what I got for my first render: [ame="…
More tweaking and some changing of things. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5WYb9-pOt0"]Falling On Stairs (w/ Crutches) -- Animation WIP 05 - YouTube[/ame] Any comments or critiques would be great!
I know nothing about animation, but lucky for you my girlfriend does. This is what she said. -Look at this video, specifically around the 1:24, but the whole thing might be helpful.

Wow, tell your girlfriend a big thanks, Bardler. That was a lot of helpful points!! I did my best to address all these points and improve upon them. The only thing I couldn't fix was the part where the rig looks broken--there's a weird problem I've found with the 3DSmax biped where once you rotate the main biped piece, the…
Thanks, -Joe-! I did use reference, but I didn't find much that was directly helpful to the fall. I looked at various 'walking with crutches' vids on youtube, and different ones of people falling on stairs, though they were usuall faked. This one is possibly the most useful I've found: [ame="…
Snader -- Arbitrary decision, I guess? I just didn't feel like modeling those kind of crutches, essentialy. Perhap it would have been easier though, but too late now :P Another update as I do my final tweaks. Changed the lighting and shadow, and did a bit more polish on some areas of the anim: [ame="…
Another update! I did some more tweaking to the fall and changed the head turn near the beginning. Almost ready to call it done: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwFD6sesgjI"]Falling On Stairs (w/ Crutches) -- Animation WIP 07 - YouTube[/ame]
Did you use any references? The walk looks fine and fall as well but i think you could add more movements in the recovery part. Maybe move the legs a little when he's face palming. Oh and a teeny little hangtime right before he falls would be nice as well :)
