I have cellshaded it…and tuhopu…tohupo??..tohopu…wevEr…RULZ!!!

Looking good. The cell shading doesn’t show very well, maybe a bit more extreme… His feet look a bit small… chin strap doesn’t show to well.

(u need Dvix)

…and oh, it is my first character animation ever!!!

My first ever walk circle

http://sbup.jyscomputers.com/ada89/Anim/Soldat_guy_walkc.avi

(u need Dvix)

hmm, seems to be leaning back a little too far, and its like he’s sort of creeping too. sretch his legs out a bit and give him a bit more of a lean forward

Tried to stretch the leg at the first test and it look so unreal, normal people dont walk like that, it needs to have that relax feal and smooth, i think it look good, matbe the angle give u different feal

yeah, give us a side on shot

Here we go:

http://sbup.jyscomputers.com/ada89/Anim/Soldat_guy_walkc2.avi

hmm, looks like he would fall on his arse straight away, his lower legs are constantly in front of his body. his feet should spend about half the time in front, and half behind his center of gravity < his middle>, and i still recon his knees are too bent

ok,ok, i suck and u are good… :stuck_out_tongue:

…me go give up…movie cenceled…j/k :wink: …

hahah

ive never done animation, im into the still stuff. im just going from what looks right or not. keep trying, cos when you get it, it will be awesome 8)

Ok, thanks :smiley:

faster step and some movement fix

Hey ada89 Iv’e been following your posts and have to say that your getting closer. Couple of things that I noticed is your cycle is one or two frames off from being smooth. there is a slight hesitation from it ending and begining. (not sure if that makes sense) Also give him alittle bit of upper body movement, his spin should bend just slightly, and I think GFX is right about the knees being bent just a little too much. I know how frustrating it can be I’m trying to do the same thing. (walk cycle) Good luck and keep trying. You’ll get it. :smiley: :smiley:

I think it took something like 0.3 second for the player to playback the thing again…to make it loop…so i think it depend how fast ur pc. I will try to fix that anyway

Solder need to walk like a solder :P, i will try to fix knees thing and some other thing as u suggest.

Thanks alot :smiley:
