Assignment part 1 - Walking Animation

This is the perspective view for my assignment the walking animation. Some adjustment were made to it as compared with my latest upload for the animation. This is a much smoother animation in all. I had some difficulty in doing up the weight shift as I have no idea how to visualize well how does the body shift accordingly. I added the hands animation also, so that it looks perfectly nice in sync with the body's movements.

This is the side view. From this view you will be able to see how the walking goes naturally. I tried removing some key frames here and there so it looks more natural and not so jerky. When the body moves and lifts up it's legs, the body will move upwards due to gravity and it will move down when the foots touches the ground. Also, I make sure that the arms don't swing too much and they swing naturally. Such that they look very relaxed and smooth.

This is the front view of the walking animation. In this view you would be able to see the weight shift more carefully and precise. Also another thing to note is the 'swaying'. Depending on which leg it lifts up it will tilt to that side. If the right leg is lifted up the body will be tilted to the right a bit. Also another thing to note is the arms as well. Instead of swinging normally and rigid. When it swings, it also moves a little bit inwards towards the body so it kinda looks like a 'U' shaped pattern if viewed from above.
