Hi guys. Here is my first character animation reel. Any critique/advise/suggestions are wellcome)
p.s. Pls move this thread to the artworks/animations, couse i miss it(
Nice sequences, well done. Good over all. The only sequence I had problem with was the first one; the two wall climb. You really need lower body action. Look at this footage at 4:00 and 4:49:
Hey there, thank you for reply! What do you meen ‘lower body action’, my english is not perfect, so can you explain more detail? Tnx.
I mean this is not a easy animation you know. The practitioner of Parkour seems to defy gravity itself!
In order to jump up higher from a lower wall, the main push up feet need to be planted higher and bent tighter for maximum burst and extension. He needs to put his butt away from the wall in order for the foot to stick to the wall. Here are the screen capture; right images from free runner and your image just before jumping to higher wall.
Your character really need to jump up much higher on to the lower wall. Plant kick off feet much tighter for extension to higher wall. Here is basic move of wall climb: remember his butt needs to be pushed out for the foot to stick to the wall.
Yeh, now i get what you mean. And i have to agree with you - first part of this parcour animation i did without videoreferences, just did how i thought things is going, and here the result. So videoreferences is very important.
