Horse run cycle

Short demo (8 loops)

Modelled and animated by myself using 3D Studio Max.

Head and back leg movement is a bit wrong, but slowly getting there...

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)?

[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. :-)

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?

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

[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 :)

[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 :)
