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.
