Week 6: Planning walk cycle and Fixing move cycle

WEEK6 we need to learning how to planing walking cycle and Knowing the point is walking movement should keep the hip and the weight balance is important. and familiar with what is happening with the hips in relation to the legs.

so do the planning first including timing and then making the animation. I leaned the weight is change when it up leg or land leg, and keep the balance when it move the hip.

Actually, I am a little bit mis understanding the knee and the weight change, but I follow the animation bible( animation kit) it say when the moving animation start the rig should keep moving, because that is the weight shift which should not be stopped by animater making.

Blocking animation!

After planning, I started doing animation in my Maya project. since the several weeks study, I’m quite good knowing the Maya things that when I need to find the tool to help my animation, i can find very fast, thanks for tutor and classmate’s help.

I totally misunderstood “Blocking”, I thought this is just making the every key frame so call blocking, and I just do key frames in Maya. When I output this project, it just shows the fully animation not blocking. Untill tutor George told us, that is not blocking! we should find the tool in Maya and use the tool to change the animation rate into a flat in every frame!!
