Timing For Animation - Week 3 - Walk Cycles

This week I had a go at walk cycles and how they can convey weight and emotion.

I was working with four main poses for the walk cycle;

Contact pose

Down pose

Passing pose

Up pose

Using the top two images as a reference, I loaded up the Azri rig and started animating.

This rig was great as it came ready for animating. I then created a 32 frame timeline and created my poses.

I ran into a few problems with the Azri Maya file as I couldn't reopen the file after I animated, but I had created a playblast before the file wouldn't open.
