Today in Matt’s we were told that we were going to be doing animated walk cycles. Right after being told what we are going to be doing for the next 4 weeks in Matt’s lessons (Walk Cycles) we were told to research Animated and Real Life walk cycles to gather reference to help us in the animation process. Below are the two walk cycles that I found.
Animated Walk Cycle:
Real Life Walk Cycle:
These videos will definitely help me with the animated walk cycle because the human walking video will show me the basic human movements to refine and base my walk cycle around it. It allows me to see how the feet move with the hips and the arms together in one motion. The Animated Walk Cycle also helps me out a lot because it helps me see the exaggerated style of the walk cycle and it opens up that window for me or I could do elements of both.
We were given a few models to animate our walk cycles. They were ranked from easiest to the hardest. During the lesson I decided to start the walk cycle with a harder rig rather than a ball with legs which was the easier option.

That’s all for now with Walk Cycles,
Matty OUT!
