This inspirational piece has been created entirely out of CG and focuses on illustrating architectural art.

I recently completed this animation of the character theti jumping rope. As reference, I used this model sheet provided to me.

First walk cycle… EVER! Final animation

Matthew — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 05:47:09 +0000

Hi Everyone,

Here it is, my final walk cycle animation.

Regretfully, some aspects of the assignment are missing from the final animation, the character was intended to have a backpack and a sword holstered to the side of his hip. I was forced to exclude them from the final due to time constraints, and for that I kick myself.

On a more positive note, I am pleased with how my timing turned out. Much time and effort was taken to clearly understand the actions that make up a walk cycle and i think (or hope) that this is apparent in my work . As a personnel goal, I didnt want to shorthand my key drawings and made sure to take all the time needed to perfect them. The movement is very “flowy” and I’m happy to have achieved a piece such as this for my first walk cycle. Now its time to move on to the next assignment.

please comment,

Matt

Hey everyone,

As I prepare for another session of work, I decided to take the time to update my progress on my walk cycle.

First Walk Cycle… EVER!

Matthew — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 06:10:43 +0000

This is it, my very first of many walk cycles!

Something about finally doing a walk cycle for the first time makes me very excited. I’ve posted my rough key animation done so far. Even timing for the moment. My goal right now is to nail the keys just right then move on. I would greatly appreciate any direction on how I can improve these drawings.

Cheers!

Line Test – Keys walk cycle

Pendulum cycle

Matthew — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 01:29:40 +0000

Hello everyone!

Here’s a quick assignment that had to be completed in a few short days. It’s a simple one, and is the reason why it was givin to us mostly as a weekend assignment. Nothing special here, but I was hoping to use it as a test subject for posting video’s. Obviously the template used on my site wont accommodate the movie size very well.. Does anyone know how to fix this? … Chris?

Take care all,

Matt

EDIT : I’ve figured out how to resize the movie so that it no longuer “breaks” the site.

Cheers
