character - little fat robot

[MattDubs]

heres a quick update. i've started adding some age as far as the model goes and breaking up the color scheme. i'm thinking i'm going to drop the car paint coloring and use a standard matte paint job with old colors coming through reminisant of the Arild Wiro robot. this way i'm not using brazil. i'll just use max 5's light tracer.

i had to put this guy aside for a little while to concentrate of school, but i just got back to him and finished rigging him for animation.

i'll have atleast a walk cycle up later tonight

walk cycle 320x240 1mb (http://njtwilight.com/3d/robotwalkcycle.avi)

small size for now while i'm stuck at work, i think i need to redesign the legs a little so he can lift them higher. i need advice

[MattDubs]

another angle with the legs lifting a little higher, but its barely cutting into the pelvis, so i have to work on the model

I think that the feet need to look heavier. They should smack hard into the ground faster. They look like they have no weight. I think the ankle should rotate more as well. Its a good start. What do you think. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

[MattDubs]

thanks, i agree about the feet, but which way are you talking about the ankle rotating?

[cel]

Here is an example from the Animator's Survival Kit book.
The weight is related to the rotation of the ankle. I don't think you had much rotation in the walk cycle. Hope this helps. Update with any changes. Cel :buttrock: :buttrock:

alright i see what you mean, thanks
