My Little Steps

Hello everyone! Another animation assignment today. We were told to animate a static walk cycle, with a little acting. I chose the skip walk. A happy walk with a bit of a hop. Here are the videos that show the progress of the animation: Planning: Blocking: Linear: Final: Thank you for visiting! Bye! ~~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everyone! I'm back with another assignment. We were to animate a fight scene between two characters. We had to apply the principles of weight, drag and follow through to get a good result. Here is the final output of the animation: I took references from Avatar: The last Air-bender, Jackie Chan the animated series, and a few fight poses online. Thanks for visiting!

The Stretch and Squash controls helps you to give the ball the stretch and squash effect, making it look more appealing. Here are the graphs for the controls: Up control X-axis: Up control Y-axis: Down control X-axis: Down control Y-axis: ...
