Strong Walk Cycle

Been doing a strong walk cycle with team fortress 2's the heavy, here's what I've got so far!

Confident Walk Cycle WIP

Started on a confident walk cycle while I had a couple of hours free this evening.

Things still to be fixed, but a good solid start I feel!

Lunch Backflip Update

Spent a little more time on it, added an extra step so its not such a long jump to the wall and added small blocks on the wall for him to grab on to.

Break Dance WIP

Inspired by a youtube video of a bunch of guys showing their off skills and break dancing in a mall, I've decided to animate a 10 second (ish) break dance sequence.

I've started off with a front flip and will be moving forwards on to the floor, wish me luck!

Here's what I have so far:



The model is 'Ellis' ripped from Valves Left 4 Dead 2 and rigged up with CAT controllers by myself.

Another Lunchtime Update on the back flip animation

Yesterday I collected lots of feedback and set myself the task of using that feedback. Today I corrected all of the errors and crit given to me.

Today's fix's included:

Cleaning up the arc of the fall, it was too quick at the bottom. It is now a little smoother while still containing the downward faster force.

Changing over the feet, the front foot now correctly lands first.

Added a few frames to the launch, before it was said to be a little too quick.

Fixed his broken leg in mid air.

On the land, I added a sliding back foot and moved his torso a little further back to give momentum.

I also started animating the fingers, only had time to do it on one hand so far. The left hand will have to wait until tomorrow.

Lunchtime Update

An update to my lunch time project, added toe and upper body movements also extending the distance that he jumps backwards.

Lunchtime Fun! WIP

During my lunch breaks at Codemasters, I've been playing around with one of my MAX rigs. Im going to attempt to make him run at the wall and do a backflip.

Here is what I have so far, ill keep updating as I go along. Just roughed it out so far...
