Week 4 + 5

Walk Cycle

Moving on from the ball and tail rig, we were given a ball with legs rig to animate for the next part of our work.
I really enjoyed animating this and it wasn't as hard as the Ball and Tail rig. I had to make sure that it looked believable in the way it walked, as the process we went through was a tad bit complex. You had to make sure you remembered each of the legs co-ordinates so you can copy it to the other leg and vice versa. After a while it became simple and easy to do, i did make a few mistakes along the way, but i managed to go back to them and fix it.

Reference Media --> From our lessons i learnt that your hips is what usually leads the rest of the body in a walk. So I took a couple of shots of different walks and  different parts of the body lead each walk.
