How to computer animate a female walk cycle
Ready to dive into the basics of animation? In this video, I’ll walk you through creating a female walk cycle entirely by hand. No simulations, no shortcuts-just classic hand-keyed animation, as it’s done for games, TV, and film.
We’ll break it down step by step, starting with the fundamental poses:
The Passing Pose: where one leg passes the planted foot.
The Stride Pose: where the legs hit their most extended positions.
These two poses (mirrored to make four) form the backbone of your walk cycle. From there, we’ll add tweens to bring it to life, doubling our poses to eight and laying a solid foundation to tweak and perfect.
You will be able to see how I interact with the rig, graph editor and interface to take a character from base pose to finished animation.
Whether you’re using Maya, or another 3D software, these principles are universal. By the end, you’ll have an overview of how an animator creates a walk cycle.
So grab your tools and let’s get animating!

Gladiator Sword Of Vengeance finishing moves animated by me
Переглядів 2425 років тому
Here are the finishing moves I animated for Gladiator Sword of Vengeance. Animated in 3d studio Max using Character Studio for Acclaim Manchester. The studio was in the old Ocean building and still had the Ocean logo on the building in chromed metal. The place was next to the canal and surrounded by bars.

      @@tylerlemay2826 I was hired to model and texture, so I did some of that but needed to move back to animation as there was too much work for the animator that was hired to do it. He then quit and shifted to another studio so I did most of the cutscenes. I think the writing was handled by Scholastic who are a huge book publisher, this was their first time publishing a game. I used to get the audio with the voice actors, I would time out the action and storyboard. Then make as animatic with the backgrounds and characters in Max then go to animation. So I basically got to direct them as well as animate. Time pressure was mental because I needed to wait on Scholastic to approve storyboard and animatic, towards the end I think we dropped either storyboard or animatic I can't remember which. However any notes they did give I used to push back on very hard due to tight schedule and they would drop most of their notes. I managed to get help from a freelance animator but it ended up not really being help as I pretty much re did or fixed all of his work. It was a crazy crazy project and I was totally exhausted by the end of it but I think I pretty much hit deadline. Animators do not usually get any say over script or "how the game goes". I got a lot more influence than is normal on the cutscenes as I did the camera direction and edited the audio of the voice actors together which is not normally an animators job. The shot we are commenting on which is GG transforming was my idea. The initial idea was to show the transformation with a shadow on the wall but the in game shadows were very basic and it was not working at all so I had the idea for a texture change and sticking the wings on. As an animator you can sneak ideas into game if you're lucky, but this is usually the designers job and they don't want you to (because it's their job) you can add cute stuff to animation of course. For another game I worked on called Timesplitters I designed Robofish and I think he's the only character in all of the games in the series. I think it's pretty unlikely they would let an animator do that these days. For Horrorland the plan was to shift to environment artist and props as I was being asked to do a lot of motion capture clean up which I hate. As you can see pretty much the opposite happened and I ended up doing a ton of hand keyed animation. These days I mainly animate for TV on kids series.

      @ezromation 3 роки тому

      I didn't make the models, they were built in Max. Usual start point is a poly primative like a cylinder. You then add edge loops cut in new faces or extrude faces, you can also weld verts and edges. Best do a search on building low poly characters if you want an overview or have a look at this derangedscratchings.blogspot.com/2011/10/orc-warrior-3-poly-model.html
