TeeJays Animation Journey - Walk Cycles
Hey guys, I know there's not a whole lot of Animators here on PC but I know there are a few great ones so I'm posting here for a bit of crit on my various exercises. I've spent the last little while studying walks and got comfortable with putting one together. The playblasts illustrate where I'm at right now and I would… -

Re: TeeJays Animation Journey - Walk Cycles
Right, AM is coming up in less than 2 months... beyond excited but I've decided to go back to some bouncing balls in preparation. I know it's not exciting, but I really wanna nail this feeling of weight and life on these. Here's a lively single bounce, and then two simple bounces. Crits from you animators please!… -
Re: TeeJays Animation Journey - Walk Cycles
Ok refined it, and changed it a fair bit. I think there was too much swinging going on in the first one. One problem I'm having is striking a good balance between reality and stylisation. I wanted to go for a kind of happy go lucky teenage kid just walking along, but I feel there's too much head nodding and upper body… -

Hey there, no reason not to start getting crits this early on! You know, I know there's a bigger focus on modeling, but more and more it seems animators are making apperances here. Let's try to keep this trend going! The walk cycle looks like a good start! My biggest issues right now are with the torso, hips, and arms.… -
Re: TeeJays Animation Journey - Walk Cycles
Good! Great job following critiques! Next up, use this rig and just do a standing jump. straight up and down, with anticipation / follow through and settle. It's a an exercise that is close to the bouncing ball. then you can do things like weight shifts, spins, jumps across gaps. That sort of thing. But use that rig for a… -
Re: TeeJays Animation Journey - Walk Cycles
Thanks Mezz, much appreciated! Yeah I love looking at all the art, but I'm not into making it. I absolutely adore animating though, something about seeing stuff come to life is what makes it special to me. Also memories of Amiga Paint (yeah I'm that old) and the associated discovery that I could make my pictures move blew… -

Re: TeeJays Animation Journey - Walk Cycles
Hey again, glad to see you updating! I think your problem with getting him to look more upbeat without overdoing it is how you're applying the movement you want. If you want the upper body and head to appear to move more, the movement needs to flow up from his waist and follow the curve. So things specifically that I… -
