Class 1, Week 8, Final Stuff

Ok, time's flying way to fast now. I barely get time to blog. Can somebody apply some slight braking to time? Thanks. So, here's my work for this week's assignment. We had to create a blocked version in stepped key mode of a vanilla walk cycle. 48 frames long. We will go into splining it out next week. And also pose Stu in a pose depicting physical strength.

My thumbnails for planning out the walk cycle. Might not be the best thumbnails but they work for me.


And the walk cycle created as a result.

Class 1, Week 7, Final Stuff

I can't believe it's the end of week 7 already! Time flies when you're having fun. Happy Ok, so here's my assignment for this week. We had to animate a bouncing ball with a tail to practice overlapping motion. Take a look.

Class 1, Week 7, Tailor being refined... and he gots his tail!!!

My first pass at working on his tail. I'm feeling like I'm slowly but surely starting to grasp the whole concept of overlap, successive breaking of joints etc.

My planning thumbnails for this week's overlapping assignment. Was not as easy as it looks here.


And the final version of my overlapping assignment. I decided to stick with the easy version and make sure I nail the overlapping action down properly.
