3DArtZ Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Hey guys, I spent sometime this afternoon putting this clip together - all just personal animation excercises... Anyhows this was the first raw pass, just a bit more than blocking stuff out. Went to make some changes and somehow deleted the models foot nulls. So, I'm gonna start from scratch again, but here's what it looked like.... http://www.vrcops.com/vids/PoleGrabB.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
KenH Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Nice an'matin. Might it be better speeded up? Not sure. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 nice actions Mike - one thing that felt a little funny was the transition from running & then jumping to the pole - perhaps both feet should touch the ground first - knees bend, then spring to contact the pole ? The dismount was great. The run was a bit stiff (not sure what to suggest) So is this animation leading to a complete Pole dancing routine? Quote
thejobe Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 the running part was way too slow speed it up it just doesnt match the spin speed jay Quote
3DArtZ Posted August 12, 2005 Author Posted August 12, 2005 Nice an'matin. Might it be better speeded up? Not sure. Thanks! And yep! Definately needs to be sped up. I'm sorta happy I lost this one to an errant delete, I can start a new one with all these comments in mind. Thanks people Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
vf124 Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Very nice, Mike ... maybe add some movement to the hair ... Quote
3DArtZ Posted August 12, 2005 Author Posted August 12, 2005 Very nice, Mike ... maybe add some movement to the hair ... Hi VF, thanks for the reply! Yeah, the hair I'll do at the very end when the character motion is finished. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
OdinsEye2k Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 I think I would also suggest not going straight at the pole on the jump. I know when I'm pole-swinging (don't ask), I usually aim off-center. If you go right it something, you'll just hit and stop. You need the off-center component to start the swing-around. Quote

John Keates Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Nice character and I like the dismount. Maybe you could find a way to get some secondary motion on the hair? The run is a little odd in the way that the legs suddenly pop backwards once they have left the ground. Also, the amount that the body bobs up and down is kinda between a run an a jog. In a jog, the body bobs up and down a fair bit, but in a fast sprint (I guess this is what you are going for here) the body doesn't really bob so much. Quote

I worked a little more on the run cycle and then redid the rest. Have not done anything with the hair yet... Post in a little bit Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
