Walk cycle

Creating a walk cycle 

In this section I am going to look at making a walk cycle.Walk cycle are very complicated because you are not always aware how many of your body parts are moving for example your arms and head are moving as well as your legs. 

By using the reference image above I am going to create a walk cycle frame by frame. 

Here is the first walk cycle I made:

Here is the second:

Learning out 

I learn that the body moves in many ways and that when using "Max for Maya" by changing one frame you can affect the whole animation making it go wrong. I plan to use what I have learn to help animated my characters later on in the course I'm doing. I learned it is better to use a photo reference than a drawing one, due to drawing ones being over exaggerated and photo ones from videos are always right.
