[Hoverpelt]

Thank you so much! This is really going to help me animate! 8D Your awesome! Now I know how many frames I need plus what I need in the frames! All thanks to this awesome video of yours!

[Foxhunter37k]

Hey xvash, I have to thank you alot. This video really helped me in my first run cycle. It was simple, it was easy to follow, and it was great. I will admit, I had my doubts about this video, i wasn't sure it'd be a good run cycle, but whn I saw th video I realized it worked very well.

I'd like you to please see my run cycle. I have given you a video response.

My only critism though is that I think you should add a frame inbetween the six main ones. It would make it smoother.

Thanks!

[Dragongurrrl7]

I'd really like to use this! I'll be sure to link back! I'm gonna use it for a series of mine!

[WeHateWarriorcats]

OMG there is a girl who tried to do a running cycle for a wolf saying "best one yet" Check it out. It doesnt look like a wolf running. YOURS IS THE BOMB!

[wolfLuver973]

[xvashdmx]

@wolfLuver973

[JJJasmine198]

[stripeysocks1234]

how do you make the wolf run fadter i use windows movie maker and my wolf runs like something pulling it back pls help!

[xvashdmx]

@stripeysocks1234

u have to add the speed up effect to the clips :)

[SpiderofDeathclan]

@stripeysocks1234 if u have a version like mine...there is a zoom button by the timeline....it looks like a magnifying glass with a plus sign in it...click it till u cant ne more. then keep adjusting the pics till it looks right... im not sure if u have that version but it is easier than adding an effect to every frame...HOPE IT HALPS :3

[Zaxaan]

[zeitgeistermann]

A lot of run cycle tutorials for wolves I have seen have the wolf taking off on both hind legs, but they don't do that, or at least I have not seen wolves or dogs run like that. :P So yeah, cookie for you lol. :D

[pokepaws]

Do you mind if I try this on paper, you know tradishionally? Ill give you credit for it.

[chopchop8916]

[PeaceWolf255]

OMG Thanks sooooo much!! :D

[tabtiff]

oh my goodness i finally made a wolf run animation using this refrence! ty soooo much!

[Kyuubi1161]

i have windows movie maker, but whenever i try and make a video the video bit where you watch it is always lack, do you have any idea of what i can do? if you do then i can put my wolf run cycle up :D

[xvashdmx]

@Kyuubi1161

hey! as long as on your frames youve got speed up double than thats fine! wmm always lags for me so i can never see the video properly until ive uploaded it to youtube, its such a pain cant wait to see your cycle!

[glowlight2000]

so cool!

[MysterLool]

thanks!!



[Spartarockz3000]

@xvashdmx Yeah like speed up double =) Thanks for the help I will be making my first wolf animation, it will be a tough one. Do you think you could possibly make a video on how to show wolves rolling in a fight or something or like the other jumped on the other one and falls?

[nutmeg418]

it helps... I guess............ but what animation program do you use.... cause I only have windows movie maker....and I can't get it to go as fast as I want it to.

[xvashdmx]

@nutmeg418

i also use windows movie maker you just have to speed up the frames if you right click on each frame it will let you add effects to the clip and one of the effects is 'speed up' so will run your clip faster

[nutmeg418]

@xvashdmx

Thank you. ^_^

[xvashdmx]

@nutmeg418 thats ok cant wait to see your cycle

[Spartarockz3000]

@xvashdmx Yeah like speed up double =) Thanks for the help I will be making my first wolf animation, it will be a tough one. Do you think you could possibly make a video on how to show wolves rolling in a fight or something or like the other jumped on the other one and falls?

[xvashdmx]

@Spartarockz3000

ooh yes thats it! thats ok cant wait to see your cycle! im in the process of making a series so if anyone wants any part of it made into a tutorial will do :)

[Spartarockz3000]

@xvashdmx I had another idea for a tutorial but i forgot it on the 2hour ride home =/

[lorinflintrox]

this is really going to help me! im better at animating cats, but i'm thinking of doing an animation series about my second fursona, Night, who is a wolf.

[wolfgirl1339]

OMG! Thank you so much! You really helped me! :DDD

[Shackledora]

Thank you so much! ^-^ This has helped me a lot!

[graystriperules8]

i made one like this not long ago and i just found this! it was my 1st run cycle ever and its not good but hey XD

[shada176]

Thanks for helping me out! this one is the most helpful one so far!

[MegaPuffle]

Great video, this will help me loads when I animate wolves =D

[FoReal100]

This really helps a lot!! Thank you so much! I may try to add a few stages in between to make it smoother, but otherwise, it's really good. :)

[xvashdmx]

@FoReal100 thanks alot! glad it helped you out yep it probs could do with another frame or so but im to lazy to do it and its not so choppy plus im too lazy!

[animeanimallover133]

[xvashdmx]

@animeanimallover133

drawn by hand scanned in coloured in paint and put together in windows movie maker :)

[JiraWolf]

This helped me so much! Thank you!

[tabtiff]

hey u should make run cycle steps with the wolf running from the front view, then the other side view, and it starting to turn in certain directions of it running! so if anyone else wants to do that for an animation!

[xvashdmx]

@tabtiff

I was thinking about doing that but ive been so busy! and with my scanner packing up its not looking good lol

[tabtiff]

@xvashdmx awww :'( once u have time could you?:D it'd also be cool if u could make leaping guides

[xvashdmx]

@tabtiff

thats what im hoping to do next :) ive tryed a walk but i havent liked how its turned out i need to go back really and fix it!! i might look into leaping next :)

[tabtiff]

@xvashdmx yay :)

[kckatt]

THANK YOU! OMG THANK YOU! XD

[xxleaftrailxx]

Yes, you have heard from me before, but this has helped me so much! When I'm done animating the first episode to my series I'll post it as a vid responce because this helped me figure out how to animate a run & much more. So thank you so much!

[101Eevee101]

AWSOME! XD

[Luxrayspirit]

Are you makangeni?

[EternalCallOfTheWolf]

Thanks soooo much ^^ it really helped ^^

[xxxMittensxcatxxx]

You know, there should be a bit more frames, like between the last and the first

and if u want a REALLY good animation, there should be atlest 2 more frames between EACH frame.

but this is REALLY good! ^^

[01NX]

It looks helpfull...

[Dragon77123]

Subbed ^^

[Aspenfrost]

i used this as ref for my own run cycle. ill post it for you too see when i am done. great job!

[xvashdmx]

awesome! cant wait to see it!!

[BonBon1216]

could you make a walk cycle instead of a run cycle?

[xvashdmx]

sure but youll have to wait awhile! im in the middle of making a new video, so after thats done ill make a walk one :)

[BonBon1216]

thank you sooo much! tell me when to the new vid it up!

[xvashdmx]

its ok! i will do :)

[BonBon1216]

[00KetumiWolf00]

Veryy nice!

[frostymints]

Whats the song?

[xvashdmx]

sleepyhead by passion pit

[Bear94089]

would you happen to have these frames by theirselves as pictures or something so that i can zoom in on them and see kind of how you drew them?

[xvashdmx]

sure i have the frames by themselves but i wouldnt kno what site to put them on to show them up as i dont think youtube would be much help, I do it the awkward way tho as i dont have a tablet so i draw it by hand scan it in then colour it lol! (hopefully santa will bring me one ^__^ )

[Bear94089]

By the way - you draw soooooooooo beautifully - your animations are even better ^_^

[Gekkou1Neko]

im gonna attempt my millionth time at a run cycle, just this time with an actual tuorial @_@
