showson1 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hey all.. Well, I just got my software about a week ago and I've been going through the tutorials, but decided to do a little animation outside the tutorials. I used Thom to do a little jumping jack action.. first try was ok, but I got some suggestions and polished it a bit... still not perfect, but I am learning. Then, since I'm a Matrix fan (the first movie anyway), I decided to figure out how to do a simple 'bullet time' sequence. Took me almost all day to figure it out, but could do it in about 5 minutes now if I had to.. haha.. guess that's what learning's all about. Anyway, if anyone's interested I'll link to it here... nothing earth shattering, but you gotta' start somewhere.. right. Steve Before there was Neo, there was Thom!

showson1 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Ok.. well rather than adding a new thread I thought I'd just tack on to this one. This is my first attempt at a run cycle.. think it turned out pretty well. Opinions and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Steve Run like the wind.

nimblepix Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Steve, Nice job! Are you using stride length on the run? He seems to be slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showson1 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah, for some reason stride length is one thing giving me a bit of a problem trying to get it just right.. I also looked at the run again and it looks more like a fast walk then a run.. But trial and error is probably the best way to learn.

entity Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) The A:M online video tutorials have the subject pretty well explained: 3:30 minutes into the video they talk about stride length... the link direct to the video: http://www.s1.hashmirror.com/ftp/VM/walk_w...walk_wheel.html Or link to the actual page (it's the walk/wheel cycle tut under MISC.): http://www.hash.com/VM/ That pretty much explained it for me. EDIT: Ohh... and if you should change the size of your walk cycle remember you have to do a new stride lengh setting for it, too.

showson1 Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Ahh.. that may be my problem.. I kept tweaking the walk cycle and may have a different stride length now. Thanks! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
