Walk Cycle Update

Nothing major, just revised the shoulders in the frames where they were out of whack, & tweaked the torso in a few spots. The overall motion looks much better now I think, but the arms still need work, they are out of place in a few frames still. The entire thing is 15 frames on 2's right now, but I might add a couple frames if I need to to help smooth the motion of the arms, we'll see how it looks when I clean it up though & go from there.
Here is the updated version:

Thanks John!

Yeah I need to work on the torso on the frames where the left shoulder goes back. The shoulder itself goes back far enough but it doesn't "take the body with it." If that makes sense. I need to show a lttle bit of back behind his right shoulder in those frames I think & less of the front of his chest. I'm pretty happy with the other half of the torso twist when his right shoulder is going back though, just need to mirror that better for the other side.

He's feeling pretty down & out right now too, so there won't be much head bobbing, more like hanging & turning side to side.

Thanks for the tips though as always!

Hey Luc! Thanks for stopping by & checking out my stuff. :)

Nothing brave about it my friend, I need all the help I can get from people!

Honestly, from experience I've found the most helpful sites out there are the ones that show you things being done, not just speaking about them being done. In an attempt to give something back to the community at large, I figure it's the least I can do to show my work as I go, mistakes (lots of them) included. And talk a little bit about what I'm doing & why. Hopefully someone out there finds it helpful or picks up a little something (even if it's something to avoid!)

Anyway, thanks for your comment, & I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
