I woke up this morning and got rid of that annoying left hand going all over the place. I toned it down a bunch and I think he is looking sexy as all get out!I made a quick pass through all the curves in the graph editor, took about two hours to just go through and smooth out some things, get rid of some little hiccups and make the tangents on both ends go into each other nicely.
I also added some subtleties that are really hard to see, like his belly getting bigger and smaller throughout the whole shot and there was a breathe control that I was messing with. It doesn't really look like he is breathing, but it does help to give his chest a subtle rubbery feel that I like..
I'm still thinking about what I'm going to do with the hands. I've also been thinking about doing a completely different walk or run cycle with this same guy.
That's pretty awesome. Love the unique walk.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dhar!
DeleteYea man keep it up! It's hard to make groggy look NOT grotesque (imo) and you are almost there haha.
ReplyDeleteCouple things I saw, the hips look like they rotate pretty fast as he steps onto his right leg, more than they do as he steps onto his left.
When his right hand hits the top of its arc (in front of his body) it feels like it hits a wall and translates straight over.
I'm not sure how much this would change things, but I feel a little bit more weight shift left to right for his whole body couldn't hurt!
Keep it up man! I wanna see a run with him! (or a slow jog, don't wanna push his physical limits!)
Hey thanks for the tips man. Definitely something to work on as I do a final spline pass.
DeleteThe assymetricalness of his walk is intentional so really what I need to do is exaggerate the differences in the timing of the hip rotations even more.
At first, I had his weight shifting quite a bit, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. I want him to feel fat and yet dainty at the same time. I just need to find the fine line between them both.
Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteLEW! Thanks for stopping by! Hope all is well.
