horse gait

[blackstripe05]

Greetings all;

 

I am brand new to Animation Master after using Truespace and Lightwave in the past. Yep, I'm a bigtime newbie. Although my Amiga days are resurfacing.

 

I have found myself needing to animate a horse.

We purchased the Anim master program and NAB to do this. Now I'm in a time crunch, having to learn Anim Master as well as how to animate a horse in AM.

 

Could anyone possibly point me in the direction of an action library for a horse?

 

Thanks.

have you heard of muybridge? He published several volumes of photo sequences of people and animal gaits. that would be a good reference

General rule of quadruped walks... the rear foot hits right after the front foot lifts, Many times it will step right into where the front foot was placed.

 

Edit: More Muybridge
