This month was my second portfolio class, and this time it was for animation! I had fun this month creating my final. We had four weeks to complete a three step walk cycle and a simple action. I chose to do a wave for my simple action this time. I was able to complete the walk cycle fairly easy this time, the only problem I had were the hand/arm controls and getting them to move smoothly. Overall I think I did better than the last animation class, and I was able to approach this project with more confidence. Here are some work in progress playblasts of my animation so that you can see the process.
Blockout:
This are the main keys.
Breakdown:
Walk is almost done here, and breakdowns/in-betweens are added for secondary action.
Final:
This is my final playblast.
