Walk Cycle Assignment = 20 points
Teams of 2
Mission:
Using a pre-existing rig, breath life into that character by
animating it in a walk cycle and posting a video of your work onto the blog.
Each team member must create his or her own animated walk
cycle. These characters must contrast each other’s mood, but use the same rig
(e.g. happy vs. sad). The emotions are up to you to choose.
Both the man and girl walk with their eyes closed (which is the leading cause of walking into things). The man is walking more normally but is still very large and that gives him a hulking feeling of movement. The girl is skipping, swaying her arm and head back and forth, and the speed at which she is skipping shows she is much lighter than the man.
ReplyDeleteThe two walking cycles share a stark few similarities, in that they are both repetitive and fairly symmetrical with the exception of the axes. They appear to have good weight distribution and the characters seem to have the right weight for how the walk.
ReplyDeleteThe two are also very different. The large lumber jack has a heavier walk, he doesn't bounce as much and his arms do not move as much, giving him a slower canter. His larger figure however, keeps him ahead of the little girl. She skips and bounces much higher, giving the illusion that she's far lighter.
The man has a very smooth and calm walking cycle. He's a large man, and you can see his weight shift up and down very slightly as he moves along. On the other hand, the girl is a lot more energetic, bouncing up and down and shifting her weight a lot more dramatically. It gives the impression that the man has walked this path many times before, whereas the girl is new to it.
ReplyDeleteThe man walks at a slow and controlled looking pace while the girl skips at a faster pace. The man's upper body barely moves when he walks while in contrast the little girl's head bobs considerably with each skip.
ReplyDeletethe man walks very smooth, and tall, where as the girl walks all jumpy and fast because of her shorter stride. I think these 2 contrast each other because the girl is full of energy, but the man just looks exhausted.
ReplyDeletethe man walks smoothly and like any adult to the point or determined to get to where he is going the kid is skipping along having no cares in the world
ReplyDeleteDifferences:
ReplyDeleteGirl: The girl is skipping and bouncing happily. She's moving fast. She's smiley and bouncy
Man: The man is swinging his arms in a down cast motion and kind of slowly. His feet are hitting the ground more evenly. He looks like he's calm composed
Similarities:
They're both walking with their eyes closed.
Difference:
ReplyDeleteMan: the man is walking sadly and his eyes are closed and swigging his arms.
Girl: the girl is skipping happily and she is moving fast.
