Week 11 Update

Wow so Marek REALLY liked my vanilla walk revision, woohoo!!

I really feel that this week's animation needs a lot more work and want to tweak it some more later this week/weekend when I don't have an official assignment yet. So here's this week's attempt at splining my sneak:



Stu Pose this week is Balance, I based it off a hip hop move:

Week 10 Updates

Wow Week 10 already, just one more week of assignments left of the term, then MORE craziness BEGINS!

BTW, go see Horton Hears a Who, I think it's one of the most beautiful movie I have ever seen, they even had riggers for the environment. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed myself which is great because I would have been very very very sad.

Blocking of my personality walk, I chose to do a sneak around a sleeping tailor:



I may add some tail swishes, but that will be the last thing I focus on.

Stu pose this week was exhausted, didn't really have to try too hard to come up with this one, just based it off real life:

Week 9 Update

Here's this week's update. I couldn't get all the knee popping to go away unfortunately. :( I'll see what Marek says about it during my crit and hopefully that will help.

Here's this week's walk:



Revision to blocking, I fixed y-rotation, my gate and the stretch:



Stu pose for this week was "Concerned"

Week 8 Update

This week was to block out a "vanilla" walk (just a plain, regular walk, no personality) in stepped mode, which is why it looks all jerky. This week we move to spline mode so it'll be smoother.

This time around I decided to do copied keys rather than stepped mode to see if it'll be a little bit less of a pain to convert the animation.



Here is Stu's pose for the week, the theme was strength:

Yes, those are some of the Spice Girls.
