Wow! thanks! that jelped me a bunch!

Can you do a tutorial on a cats run cycle? the running always messes me up

[DragonwolfRooke]

@Grizzlyclaw00 Sure, I think I could. Although, to be honest, I don't understand any particular trick for the run--I just copied ssswarriorcats' run cycle and use it as a reference. :)

[Grizzlyclaw00]

@DragonwolfRooke oh ok, well if you do i will be sure to watch it!

[shadowstripe01]

@DragonwolfRooke a run cycle isn't all that hard actually the trick is to picture a long legged animal- like a gazel or a deer- running then make the legs shorter so when you animate it the front legs will push off the ground while the back legs are off the ground and vise versa -sorry if i didn't do such a good job explaining it's hard to explain but i might make a vid on it-

[DragonwolfRooke]

@shadowstripe01 Actually, gazel and deer run very differently than a cat does. Deer move in bounds, leaping. A deer would have both feet off the ground for a long time, and then hit the ground with both in swift succession, and then be off again. A cat has all feet off the ground for a short time--they spend a longer time with their front paws off, their hind legs pushing against the ground for thrust.

[shadowstripe01]

@DragonwolfRooke thanks for explaining i just see it like that you know i honestly don't picture the long legged animal running like a cat does i just ment the format the fore legs push off the ground then the hind lgs do and in that little moment is the part that you mentioned when both fore and hind legs are in the air for the breif moment it's still a little hard to explain the way i think -sorry if i'm a bother-

[DragonwolfRooke]

@shadowstripe01 It's fine. :)

[shadowstripe01]

@DragonwolfRooke it's weird though most people find a run cycle really hard to do but i find it easy but i find walk cycles confusing and hard for me even if i know how a cat moves and it's anatomy

[valgal3000]

@Grizzlyclaw00 heheh.. jelped :3

[Grizzlyclaw00]

wow! that helped me alot! (a little fast) but it still helped me a bunch thanks!

[moonflight101]

[DragonwolfRooke]

@moonflight101 Hooray! :D

[FirestarThunder]

cool, its really interesting to see how you do your walk cycles. :3

I find it so funny you used this audio because I just watched Spirited Away on Saturday. XD

[DragonwolfRooke]

@FirestarThunder I love Spirited Away. I'll be using the soundtrack when I make The Tygrine Cat. :)

[FirestarThunder]

@DragonwolfRooke that's a really good idea, the soundtrack has such great music. :)

[DragonwolfRooke]

@FirestarThunder Yeah, I know! Sneak peek--I'm using Nighttime Coming as the song for the first episode, the Prologue. :) I'm also using the Princess Mononoke soundtrack and the Secret of Kells soundtrack, too.

[stuntsquiral221]

that was so confusing

sorry, it's not the video, it's just my small brain capacity XD... I'll learn how to do this eventually! haha

[stuntsquiral221]

[DragonwolfRooke]

@stuntsquiral221 Naw, it's probably partly the video. I had this wonderful epiphany where all this made sense--explaining it was a lot harder. XP

[stuntsquiral221]

@DragonwolfRooke If it helps, the red and blue lines that represented the leg positions helped a bit. :)

lol
