Bipedal Walk


Bipedal Walk


This exercise demonstrated a plain walk cycle. There isn't much personality in these, so they aren't particularly appealing to look at. But they do show a plain walk cycle. Once a walk cycle is understood, personality can be added to it. This may show more exaggeration, depending on a characters personality.

Character Weight Shift These two animations were designed to show a character shifting their weight from leg to leg. This gives the character the illusion of weight, making it appear more realistic. There is a slight amount of squash and stretch- though subtle, the character's leg will squash slightly when the weight is shifted to it. The other leg stretches out.

Showing Weight and the Use of Parent Constraints The next principles included in these exercise are anticipation, timing and solid drawing. The objects have weight to them, so it takes effort and time for the character to be able to move these objects.These two didn't have any particular inspiration, I had just pictured what it'd be like having to pick up a heavy ball. This would be more difficult than a shape with it's weight being distributed. The wall was reminiscent of trying to either open a heavy door, or keep it shut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdTltNk552Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEDyJMFIIA8
