These are walk cycles for two characters I am animating for a short(very short) animation. Crits and comments are always welcomed. Thanks:D

p.s. They were not lying when they said walk cycles are the hardest thing to animate:surprised

Very nicely done! No crits on the biped, very natural movement. For some reason, although the movement looks good on the dinosaur, it kind of looks like he's made out of rubber or something. Other than that, great!

Thanks! I used 1,000 poly's on the Dino and did a smooth bind on him, and thats about it. Maybe the way I painted his weights or something might have lead to his almost rubber look? I don't know!:hmm:

hey, i like the style. one critique i could give for the animation is that everything seems to hit their extremes at the exact same time. try offsetting the arms a bit from the legs and see how that looks. keep it up.

Thanks for the crit. I'll offset the animation some more. I had did before but I guess it wasn't enough.

p.s. I checked out you website, some real good stuff. And congrats on getting the job up in Oddworld!
