Animal Morph Walk Cycle

This is one of my early attempts at animating 4 legged walk cycles from several years back. I also used this opportunity to try morphing the motion and characteristics of each animal into the next. Even though a lot about this animation bothers me I still think it's kind of neat now.

[mykgerard]

there are some problems in the animation..... it's not perfect... also some people just give a low vote if they find something boring... someone who isn't interested in animation might get bored if they see this.

wow thats good! i like how you drew the animals and they were moving in different ways on each animal. great job!

[mykgerard]

thanks... it was really rough ....  I gave up after this part... I had much more planned originally.

That's pretty neat. The animation is very smooth. I like the way you did the transition from animal to animal. :]

the cycle is a bit juddery, but not bad for early attempts :) need to make it flow more :D

I think this was 30... I'm not sure it was many years ago...

I did walk cycles for all of the different animals then inbetweened the motions as well as the shapes figuring out how much of a change I needed in frames as well as size...... It was hard.... I had a lot of mistakes in it but It was so tedious I didn't want to go at it again.. lol..

[Luxrayspirit]

Thats so cool o.O how do you do that?
