walking animation

Doing this walk is not easy because of the need to consider that if it is realistic or not.

BigDog walking

From my perspective, BigDog appears to lift up both his BL (back left leg) and FR (front right leg) at the same time and the other 2 legs (the BR (back right leg) and FL (front right leg)) pushes the body a little forward. After that, the BL and the FR is placed on the ground and the BR and FL is lifted up. The BL and FR pushes the body a little forward and than the BR and FL is placed on the ground. After this the cycle repeats.

How this manages to balance BigDog is by having his 2 legs that are on the ground to hold him up momentarily to move forward. After that BigDog places his other 2 legs on the ground to help him stabilize again.

What i learn from doing this is that small details is very important in making the animation appear realistic. It is also quite hard for me to pick up the details and a lot of time is needed to make sure it looks real.

Me doing weight shifting

Dog sit again!

I rig this dog to make it look like this. This one is easier because i did not encounter any missing rig. I also learn that less rig can make things look easier and more neater, but cannot do some movements.

Dog sit!

This is me rigging a dog. I made him sit down to look something like this. However, due to the leg knee rig, have to move so far just for a small change. So I learn that good rigs must have lots of controls and does not need the rig to move so far for the model to change.

Spiderman block

For this blocking pose, I made him bend lower to appear to be able to withstand the impact. I also move his hips a little close to the back leg because more weight will be put on the behind if he gets hit from the front. I also position his hands to make it look like he is going to block an attack from the front.

Spiderman punch

Spiderman punch!!! For this pose, I made him bend down to make the pose more stable. I also turn his hips to make it so that his punch has slightly longer reach. Lastly, his other hand is stretched behind to prepare for another punch!!!
