Walk Cycle only the legs



One again using the complicated and strange curve method I created another walk cycle. I have to admit that at times it makes sense and then something happens and I lose it. The cycle is only focusing on the lower part of the character and once that looks pretty the upper part will be animated.
Took me 1 hour 12 mins, only 9,975 hours and 55 mins to go.

Piece by piece I have finally achieved one FULL day of animating, 24 hours of work!! It only took me three months to do so :0

Small Walk Cycle



This is a small and basic walk cycle. The big difference is that this one is curve based instead of stepped pose based. So instead of posing and doing a breakdown I spent most of my time typing values in the graph editor. I honestly did not like animating like this since it feels more like math than animation but I have to admit that it definitely felt less overwhelming than other times
Took 3 hours 22 mins, only 9,977 hours and 7 mins to go.

Emotion Change



I took some time off after the summer classes to visit my family and relax. Now, once again classes have started and I have a lot of stuff to do so I finally declare this exercise done. I know there are a lot of little tid bits that should be fixed but I believe this problems have to do with my initial posing so fixing them will take me more time than that which I have. I am proud of how it looks and I learned a lot doing this :)
Took 55 mins, only 9,980 hours and 29 mins to go.
Total time for this particular animation: 22 hours 56 mins
