Hi folks. I put together a Crazy Bob Walk Cycle last night. I am including the scene file so you can play with it.


The walk cycle is really not perfect; but that's a good thing. The idea is, since it needs work, you can practice with TS7.51's character animation tools by improving something that's already working.


Couple things that really stand out:


1. The hands: they should be rotated towards the body

2. The left leg and arm do not swing as much as the right

3. The feet do not rotate: may need additional bones/joints for that.

4. The hips do not rotate

5. The head does not bob


Enjoy! And if you want of course post your animation or scene file for others to play with!


Thanks,

Frootee

Thanks Frootee!

It may be a long time before I start playing with animated characters myself though since I'm so buried at the moment in learning scripting and physics, but I will get there eventually so I grabbed your freebie for when I do!

This is all such a fascinating development... not only are we getting a kick-butt Character Development Toolset with TS7.51, we are also getting along with it the most amazing Shared Space Development environment (through Scripting and the LE) I could even begin to imagine... it's so powerful and elegant it just floors me! :D

Great days these! ;)

Hey 3dv. You're welcome!

If you get a chance, you can even just load the scene file and press the play button, just to see what I mean.


Enjoy!

Really? COOL!

A couple weeks ago I was playing around with a making CrazyBob do a long jump. I won't post that because it was pure improv with no reference material; it looks embarassingly horrible, but I will make another one, with reference material. Practice makes perfect!
