Animation and Rendering tests

[higginsdj]

Well I first started out with AM back in '99 and dropped it for a new hobby (Astronomy) in 2002.

 

Now I'm back and have just moved from v9.5 to v11 (wow - what a difference) and am working on a short of a very short story written by a collegue at work.

 

Anyway, I am using Alan Desroches (Spelling??) models from his Archive CD's so I do not claim the modelling :-) The link provides access to a couple of tests - Hopping (it will be a hopscotch thing when completed) and a walk cycle and I would love some feedback (I am very much the novice so don't hold back - I need to learn)

Lookin Good, Nice work

I like the cartoony-ish look.

Good stuff! On the hop, I'd say give the fall another frame or two. It looks a tad jerky but not much though. The walk cycle looks like a cycle. Mainly because everything stops at the same time. You need to offset things like arm and hand movements compared to the legs.

Great work!

 

I'm impressed with the hop, you've certainly given you character a sense of weight.

 

Well done and keep posting your progress.
