Walk Cycle so far

This is a close up of the blocking of the arm swing,

this close up capture allows me analysis and make this

into a fairly good standard as it is still a 

working progress tho.

After making a lot progress in blocking out the lower

half the of the walk cycle, I was already ready 

to start blocking out the arms.

Walk Cycle Track of Progress

For my first attempt I mad some good progress so far, there slight leg

poping and foot roll that needs to be considered.

This is a screen grab of me posing the Moom character accordingly

follow the animation thumbnail drawings.

Animation Survival Guidelines for Walk Cycle

Richard Williams Animation Survival Kit

Guidelines

This thumbnail show the me the key pose I to take into when animating

the walk cycle to fit my Moom_ character in Softimage. The Contact poses

which 1,13 and 25 are fairly straight forward, but the crucial point are the

down and up pose as this creates the arc the walk cycle should follow.

This thumbnail sketch was very useful when 

it came to posing the arm swing after 

blocking out the legs first.

This allow to the counter acting of the

 arms right for my walk cycle.

I think following these drawing according made the walk 

quite straight forward to animate.

Tennis Ball 2nd/3rd attempt

This my 3rd attempt and the bounce is a bit quicker,

still a lot work needs doing I've it looks like floating

in this version.

This is my second attempt and the bounces need to be

quicker and there needs more impression that it is

dropping from a metre off the ground. The tennis

is stretched out of shape, a lot work 

to needs to be done.

Tennis Ball Planning/ 1st attempt

This is my attempt and there's a bounce, but 

the timing and second bounce

needs adjusting.

This image allow me to the direction, timing, height

of each bounce for tennis ball as this the 

movement I am trying to replicate.

This Reference footage is a varied types of ball bounces, 

but it was particularly useful when it shows the tennis ball

 bounce in the planning stage.
