Maya Walk

OK I finally got this done and using this rig was a bit difficult, since the arms and legs tend to stretch when you move them to certain points and also what's up with the arms, sad to say the maya default rig works better then this but I guess you learn to work with what is given to you. Just to make sure I also added a link to the file.
UPDATE: I have tweaked my walk a bit more and updated this blog, Although I think I could still be making adjustments for weeks to come....

Bouncy II and a stroll

I got done with this pretty early. I guess just some minor tweaking to the curves and well....

Ok I revised the ball again and I'm still not satisfied with it especially on the ascend after the first bounce.

Dirty Looks and Bouncy stuff

Wow what a task this was making the adjustments to this animation. On Tues day I don't know what I ate but I started to get a allergic reaction that took more then a day to become full blown, I busted out in hives. I was slightly itching in class on Wensday and later that night more and more of those tiny welts started to appear all over and by 8 at night there was so many that they merge into one big one one each of my arms, legs and back. Hrmm might make a interesting animation there. =P Anyways I took some meds but it doesn't work that fast and so today as I was working on this I'm still itching all over but not as bad as Wensday night. OK so I changed the last 3 frames by tilting the head back, it was a bit difficult to figure out how the features would look at that angle along with the mouth shape but I think it looks pretty good so far.



OK...not much to say really its a bouncing ball, although it was a bit hard gaging the movements since its technically bouncing in space if we ever rendered it.
Update: OK I took second look and made a revision (Thanx Brittany for the advice) It still not to the point to where I want it. I'm gonna keep working on it to get it there.

Dirty Looks II

Whew this one was a bit more complicated then just the the facial expression. Trying to animate this was a bit tough. I had to redraw several of the frames over several times due to something wasn't matching up or just didn't feel right. When it was all done I went to up load it but lo and behold I keep getting an error message and realize that I was out of disk space and so I had to delete one of my earlier animation in order to upload this one. Although I wonder if I should have added more to the end in order for the hair to show the bounce better....well at least I finished this a couple hours earlier then I usually would compared to the previous ones. >_<
