Break down:

​

Dog Walk:

Rig used: https://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/wolfdog-for-maya

 

I wanted to start working on 4 legged animals, as it’s something I will be using in future projects and what better place to start that a dog! I used my own reference footage and some found online to create this animation.

​

Dog Run:

Rig used: https://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/wolfdog-for-maya

 

The run animation was created shortly after the walk and again was a combination of my own reference footage and some found online. I think the two of them came out well and I will work to improve my work on things with 4 legs.

​

Horse Run:

Rig used: http://www.mothman-td.com/portfolio_items/horse_rig/

 

Created towards the end of the month, I went with a horse as it is an animal I am interested in and was able to film a horse to gain some footage. This is one of the animations I would like to work on more in the future!

​

Run Cycle:

Rig used: https://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ultimate-bony-for-maya

 

A very basic run cycle created at the start of the month, after looking over I can now see what I could do better with this. I would also improve the speed as it is slightly too slow.

 

Backflip 1:

These next 3 projects are all motion based, as I wanted to focus on some more parkour looking movements. From this one I can see that I need to work on static motion more.

 

Backflip 2:

Rig used: https://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ultimate-bony-for-maya

 

Nothing much to say about this animation, I think the standing pose at the end could be much btter but overall I am happy.

 

Vault:

Rig used: https://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ultimate-bony-for-maya

 

Just a simple vault, again I need to do some of these for a project next year so though it would be a good idea!
