Charatcer animation with "william vaughan's model"

[Mrjack]

Hi every body :)
i have made some animations in cooperation with william vaughan.

[Mrjack]

:D

[Mrjack]

Hahahaha
i have some lil problemes with internet

[JeffrySG]

That's great! I love it!

My only thought is that the hands seem to be very horizontal rather than rotated slightly outward. It seems a little less natural to have hands in that position during the entire walk cycle. Just a thought.... Really nice work!

[Mrjack]

Hahahahaha thnx a lot
I have Deliberately do that

[arsad]

very stylish, but I don't buy it. For me the center of gravity is too far behind. Otherwise very nice animation!

[Dirk]

Hehe, nice !

[WilliamVaughan]

Love the toon feel to it...awesome!

[Mrjack]

Thnx everybody for your comments
But as i said earlier in my post it's a strange walk cycle i used some squatch and stretch in the arms and limbs, i think it was not visible in movement with motion blur
Here is a viewport render

[Mrjack]

Here is new one showing the new lightwave IK possibility's
I have made a very Stretchy Walk Cycle
Anny C&C are welcome Thnx a lot

[adamredwoods]

lookin good

[mav3rick]

nice

[wellsichris]

some nice animation! I really like the over the top ness of the stretchy one. a lot of character. I like the flop on the end of the foot as it comes up. but I kind wonder if it would read better if the heel planted and the front of the foot flopped down? for someone so stretchy to land flat footed seems weird to me. something to try maybe? you have it on the first one.

Nice stuff :thumbsup:

[adamredwoods]

Mrjack: did you use IK goals to animate, or did you animate using the joints directly?

[Mrjack]

Hi every body And thnx a lot for all your comments

Hi,

Love your animations.

And thank you very much to share the rig.

Thanks for sharing Mrjack. Unfortunately, I found it too complex. I have a hard time translating your rig to the animation. I mean I can see that it is walking, but I dont see the floor. In Layout feet disappear below 0m yet when I render them they are on the floor.

I like the animations, I'm afraid (quite possibly due to my lack of knowlegde) the setup is too difficult for me.

[maxwaver]

Exellent animation, i prefer by far the second one, looks really cartoonish 50's style !! man you're a genuis in riging and animation. waiting for more.......

[The Dommo]

Love the walk cycle! But you know that the hands are moving straight through the legs?

[WilliamVaughan]

You need to make sure that you have Relativity interactive... that is why you are experiencing feet going thru teh floor in real time

[Manji312]

Umm, stoopid question....how does one make Relativity interactive?

[Traveler]

Thanks! I dont think I would've figured that one out by myself.

Utilities/Additional/REL Make REL Interactive

[Manji312]

Ahhh, thank you. So obvious, but I haven't used relativity before.
