Hi fellows

I've made this animation, to test out the 3dsmax plugin "CAT". Amazing plugin...

I like the animation as it is. But I would very much like to hear what you think of it, anything that comes to your mind. There's allways room for improvements :-)

Heres the animation at http://www.catoolkit.com/gallery/default.asp
It's the one called "Flip"...

To me the first two jumps seem fine, but the third sideways rotating one does not seem believable.
There is no force buildup in the character before the jump (I would expect a bit of a squad to give him a bit of a starting position) and there does not seem to be to much of weight in the body when landing. It looks like an invisible force take him, rotates him 360 degrees and carefully puts him back at the floor.

This is my two cents......

same as above, i think you need some more vertical motion on the 3rd one, looks like hes doing a cartwheel but with his hands off the ground.

[edit] spelling.
