Normal Walk Cycle (1)

Here I looked into the basics of animating, where I study how to animate a walk cycle. I haven't touch Character animation

The Animator's Survival Kit is one of the best instructional book about animation, in fact it is THE BOOK ABOUT ANIMATION.Written and drawn by master animator Richard Williams, famous for the movie “who framed roger rabbit?”.The book is full of instructional drawings and frames of animation, and practically step by step instructions of how to make traditional animation.


I highly recommended book to any one who likes animation 


Below i took a picture of how a basic walk is done, broken down sets.




                        First Walk Cycle Test.



This is my First Quick walk Cycle where I tried to do a basic walk cycle using my research from richard williams book. I put all its key positions and in between keys in first then and I let the computer do the rest. I Then went to the Graph Editor which was pretty new for me to understand straight away. I found my self messing up the animation through using the Graph Editor.
