    Even though I have zero idea how to do animation and all that stuff. I feel the pose between the contacts and the up/downs wouldn't be so good with a character like this. The animation you have now gives a feeling of weight that I like. Seeing him with both legs off the ground would make him look/feel to light.

  • @abrahamwijaya6631
    @abrahamwijaya6631 Před 2 lety

    In my case of studying motion, i usually calling it frame. So what is frame? Basically i draw one motion like example when the Runner right leg is forward while other is on the back and the left hand is forward while the right is on the back (call this frame 1). Now create the same as frame 1 but opposite motion (left to right, right to left) now we call this one is frame 2. Now make one picture where the Runner is stomping the ground either both legs are on the ground or one of them is on it (if you choose this one, be sure to draw the opposite too) we called this frame 0. Now put frame 1/2 first then frame 0 lastly frame 2/1 repeat and done. If you want it more smooth at more frame which make it more detail but that's takes a lot of effort! 👍

    Very informative and helpful tutorial as always.
    But what confused me is that in the side view cycle 0:18 the arms are at the highest point in the contact pose, and at the second highest point in the up pose, which is similar to the walking loop. While in the three-quarter view, it is at the highest point in the up pose, which is inconsistent with the side view. Observing some Japanese sakuga, I found that the latter is more common, oddly different from the walk cycle. I wonder what causes the difference

    About frame spacing, how does it work ?
    I know the thing, less difference in frames = slower
    More space between frames = faster but
    How to you balance that ? Do you like try until it looks good or is there a thing ?

    • @ModernDayJames
      @ModernDayJames  Před 2 lety +6

      Trial and error definitely plays a role in this, as well as setting up timing charts. Experience and experimentation are key, sometimes I'll even repeat the same animation with different spacing to see how it looks!
