01 Oct 2005Hey man,
Overall it's not bad....here are some things to work on:
-he's not maintaining a proper centre of gravity. His feet always seem to be walking just a bit too far out in front of him. Not by much....but it's enough that I noticed
-Watch those arcs when it comes to the arm swinging motion! Right now they're very crooked and jerky
-Try to rotate the hips a bit...right now it doesnt look as though they are rotating to compensate for the up and down motoin of his legs.
Hope that helps! -

but do you know how to copy keyframes in Maya 7? cause I just used my eye to match the frames to create the loop. *back to work* -
rblitz7 18 posts01 Oct 2005Ok heres small update

Im not sure what I should do with arms and for some reason they snap worse then first animation.
Heres an excerpt from site where I downloaded rig.
-- Arms --
Arms are ik/fk switchable. The ik/fk switch is found on each hand rotation control.
Fk: is pretty obvious, the elbow bend is found on the shoulder control. (use the middle drag functionality of the channel box).
Ik: Use the boxes to move the arms. Use the triangular pole vectors to point the elbows.
Most of the arm controls have parent constraints so the hierarchy of animation can be altered. These attributes can be animated mid way through an animation. The attributes start with Pos_ or Orient_. Make sure the values of these attributes on each control add to a total of 10 to stop weirdness occuring......
I dont really get the last part of excerpt, but maby thats way the arms are acting funny. -

what you should try to do is to shift the keys for the armmovement (the most prominent positionkey) 2 or 3 frames after the feet steps to the ground...it should swing a bit longer upwarts after the feetstep...now they are in the same frame...
(its difficult for me to explain it in english, sorry for that)
a good reference would be to watch yourself walking infront of a mirror -
