Vanilla Walk


Concerned Pose

The assignment of this week is clean up and polish the Vanilla Walk.
I tried out the new way to do it, and found it really fast and helpful, BUT, I think my walk still not work pretty well.
After fixing the knees, it somehow became too rigid and unnatural.
I'm crazy busy at a project this week and don't have time to make the walk go any further.
I need more time to study about the balance between weight and poping knees.
Time is alway what I'm lack of...

As the Concerned pose, that might be the hardest pose to express so far lol , especially if I have to keep the silhouette readable since Stu got no face expressions.
I drew out few poses then incidentally put them together, hope them works :P

AM week08: Introduction to Walks

Vanilla Walk Blocking


Strength Pose

Finally, here comes the Vanilla Walk...
One of the hardest thing to animate...
The Lecture of this week was really really helpful, it helped me to figure out many things I confused before.
The problem I got the most would be the process of clean up, I always get lost in graph editor, should I change and rearrange the keypose, or remain it by just adjusting the curve...?
I think I got some answers from the lecture, and I'll try it out in next week.
