3D FINAL WALK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vAa7vVETsI

for my 3d walk i chose to do the personality of a happy playful child. I tried to show his playful childish personality through his walk and body language.

Final personality walk changed.

To make this walk better i decided to add in lines of anatomy to show a sense of body direction. i mainly drew a line for his front to show where his chest is and a back line to show where his spine is.

This is my personality walk, i choose to do an over exaggerated tough guy walk.

Final personality walk plan

I then started to do the planing of my final personality walk, I drew the key poses of two personality walks this will help guide me while animating. one was a tough guy walk and the other was a lady with a handbag walk. I looked at body movement the upper body, the torso,the leg spacing, how far the leg stretches how wide or small the strides are. what the head is doing whilst moving, how the arms are moving in coordination with the feet and body.

personality walks

I recorded different walks with different personalities.

101 dalmatians

I was about to start doing a walk cycle with more personality so i had a look at Disneys 101 dalmatians in the beginning of the movie it show us different various walks and how they are unique in character.

second walk cycle

I then did my second walk cycle based on my recent diagram using two plane lines to guide me. drew my legs with different line thickness. looking at where the weight is applied and how long the stride of the walk is. I felt this walk cycle made me understand how the walk mechanics really work.
