Standard Walk Cycle


This is my standard walk cycle. I learnt and exercised  from this project, key poses (contact, down, passing, up, contact), hang time, fine-tuning, timing and gravity. Following reliable walk cycle poses like this one here


I like this one because its really clear cut. Especially the part with the height. It helped me a lot to get the basic blocking right so i would recommend this one:)
The challenges i faced were particularly the hands. When i first started out, they were moving back and forth so quickly because i was trying so hard to pose them and keyframe them with the blocking poses by following the walk cycle pictures like the one above and what i realised after that was i should be syncing them with the movements of the leg (right hand out, left leg out) instead of depending on pictures so much.
Then i learnt about creating hang time with one keyframe at the front and back of the main one.

And here is the side view also for better viewing,

and also the front view,

 


Hope you like my standard walk:)
