Walks With Personality

Walks With Personality

For the final animation exercise we were to take inspiration from a character that has a particular walk cycle. I took inspiration from the character Vanille, from Final Fantasy XIII. Her personality shows through the walk, having a light but energetic walk.

Character Weight Shift

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. This is reminiscent of video game character  creation where they have a default pose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ8NBUGp8Ac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNBEHobHRS8

Showing Weight and the Use of Parent Constraints

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
