Character Animation Study 2

More test animations as I study character animations. Some of the first ones of these that I did, I'm not happy with, but I'm uploading them anyway, cause this is a process.

Did u use IKs and FKs?

@SugaredBacon117

The Norman rig which I used here uses some IK for the legs, yes. And the spine is IK to an extent.

Very nice! Animation is hard to do, but your doing great so far!

@eedobaba7726 K. I'll let you know when I see it.

[MartianStories]

@AniCator Great day for science, then.

[eedobaba7726]

@MartianStories

Yes, you are very wrong. A talented animator can replicate realistic motions and make them smoother than the mocap process can.

[AniCator]

@MartianStories You're very wrong here and I'm not going to point out why.

[MartianStories]

@AniCator Because mocap is the only way to create character movement that doesn't "seem to be feeling a bit too static" after weeks of tweeking and work in a preview window that is increasingly slowed by it.

But hey, stick to the old-fashioned way if you like. It's cartoons; who said that everything in CGI has to look "realistic"?

[AniCator]

@MartianStories *sigh* He hand-animated this. Why does everybody talk about mocap nowadays? :(
