Horse run cycle

[CrimsonInHumanBlood]

I think the movement of the legs are off..

[OhMyPirate]

good looked odd but good ^.^

[2Hams1Omelette]

I'm definitely no animator, but what might help is imagining the feet like they're touching a very hot surface. They'll want to come back up right away. Just a quick suggestion for a four-year-old video. (I think you've improved over four years, eh? ;) )

[larathegrandoverlord]

It's really smooth, which is great; but the feet aren't being picked up high enough.

[blaziken7777]

I feel like its hooves are too big...It makes the movement look more clumsy.

[KelticLegend]

It seemed like he had more of a zebra tail from my point of view, but anyway, very good!

[BinkiMaus1]

Because i know that 3ds is very exspensive, and ive tried to download the trial but it too nearly two days to install that but then it killed my computer. although it was only a 2GB laptop so i guess that wasnt really smart. and no i have never heard of that software, how advanced/basic is it? and thank you for replying :)

[BinkiMaus1]

Do you mean 3d Studio Max as 3ds Max?? I´m looking for an animation program but I can´t find anay :/

[AlphaBee6]

@BinkiMaus1 Yes. 3ds Max was named 3D Studio Max when it was first released. It's a good 3D content creation and animation package but it, and Maya, are more than a bit expensive. Have you tried Blender (it's free)?

[ally11126]

dude whats wrong with its tail?!?!!?

[101shadowwolf101]

i think that is amazing =) it just looks like a lame horsie to me :3. x

[misstaylorvictoria]

that horse is scary =o

[juggleknot]

The back leg looks like it was broken and healed without setting the bone. Watch the youtube 'running paint' vid.  Thanks for putting this up, i can tell you put a lot of work into it.

[Dragongurrrl7]

You should tottally like make a movie, i believe with your superb skills are woonderfull and i couldnt tell the differnce between this and a real horse!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VenetianPrincessCow]

I LOVE IT! The only problem is that when the horse landed on it's two front feet it gave a little sudden jerk

[Heatherfang]

nice :D is it just me or is the horse like kinda jerky?

[IncendiaFox]

Yeah, there are a few things off about this. My best recommendation is to go out and check out some horses when they're being lunged or racing. Study the movement. ^^

[Boltfiger]

The right hind legs looks stiff. Check the arcs the foot travels...and clean up the curves....it seems to be snapping then sticking....not flowing like the front legs. The front torso neck areas are also snapping and sticking.....your curves are probably doing a straight line rather than slowing in and out.... But over all nice job, one of the best looking ive seen on youtube so far.

[imprezaver4]

if you wanna do a massive one you

should really take a look at the making

of Lord of The Rings:ROTK 4-DVD edition.

[werdescom]

unbelievable !!!

[amax7895]

this is so cool! but i still think there's something bothering me about that chest....like its so inward or something like that.....

[kat578]

it looks like the horse is really struggling to movee, maybe make the background move?

[spiritlover54]

yeah i agree

[NoHorseShouldSuffer]

lol thats what i was thinking too

[AmaranthBrownlock]

it's done very well, but shouldn't the background move too? :P

[lovelullaby12]

from my view, the horse looks lame, like it limping as it runs. i think its head should be held higher to, just a suggestion :)

[horseluvv]

no, the head's ok. horses usually run with their heads down...arabians usually run with their heads held high. some others can too. i think that they just need to smoothen out the stride, and make the horse stretch out more.

[laziruss]

Totally amazing.

[chapiesbubblegum]

huh

[Safounox]

Its wonderful!If only the horses in the games could be that realistic!I love it!!

[cdjmk1000]

with what program you make this?? pls give me reply

[geniva10]

3D Studio Max

Please read the description box before asking a question?

[blizardwind]

You mean u didn't use blender???

[AngellMalak]

Ur a Pro, good Job! :)

[Zargogo]

nice!!!

[theflackclan]

Awsome! It looks like a war horse or somthing. Nice job!

[AlphaBee6]

Thanks. :-) The camera's locked to the horse's movement, but for some reason the bg doesn't pan unless the camera turns. It's not the best bg to use anyway, but this is just a test, so it not that important really. :-)

[EssieP]

@AlphaBee6 I think that background is quite a neat trick for test renders.

[confusedOoOo]

nice, but doesnt really look like the horse is moving in the backgrownd.

[Bambi2lover]

It looks like the horse is running through sticky mud, or his feet are real heavy ....... But dont worry, it is really good

[AlphaBee6]

Thanks for that. Is it because the feet are slower on the ground that makes it look like it's laboured?

[bamflyer]

way awesome gr8 job but the rate the horse is running the florr should be moving faster :P im always around horses

[AlphaBee6]

Thanks for the critique. :-) I think I see what you mean; is it the speed that the feet are going when they're in contact with the ground compared to when they're in the air?

[joedamofu]

getting closer to the perfect...

[horses2ride]

Trust me- your WAY better than me!!!

[horses2ride]

takes lot of practice- you'll get there soon! well done!

[AlphaBee6]

Thanks. I hope so. :-)

[horses2ride]

your vids with the talking horse are HILARIOUS!
