Animation Week 2

 
Walk Cycle Walk Cycle Walk Cycle. This week was about pain of walk cycles. I went through many remakes of this one working heavily with reference. I also ran into the issue of realizing my rig did not have an IK for the chest or head/neck which cause immense issues for this walk cycle. I will attempt a hopefully much easier redo with a rig that has IK chest/neck controls for the first few days of the week. I found a very solid referance from a fashion show clip that was extremely helpful and figuring our how to move the hips and legs properly although i do wish i had a side view as that was something I had to search elsewhere for which led to some struggles with the arms. The largest difficulty by far however was teh spine and getting it to move properly with lots of counter animation. definitely will make sure to find something with IK chest for the future for walk cycles.
