First Animation, What do you think?

[JayG]

Cool man, very Capoeria-ish. He is off balance quite a bit during the kick, watch plenty of reference and you'll notice even mid-spin your body still needs to be balanced.

Try to break up the body a bit by having some parts move at different times, he is very stiff and moving like a robot at the moment.

The settle at the end has him kind of "snapping" back into place like he is spring loaded, give it a little more time at the end for a more natural settle.

Good luck!

Thanks for the comments JayG
I'll try to tweak the balance a bit more.

more power would be better. just imagine there standing a foe in front of him!

[hovito]

zj8264, that's an interesting point that I hadn't thought of.
In my reference footage the martial artist was just doing a demo routine. Do you think adding a powerful pop to all kicks is better than smooth spinning motions?

[zj8264]

I like smooth motion too,but i think it base on right timing. in your animation, i prefer kicking fast.do you have some basic animation,such as walk cycle or run cycle ? we can discuss it together, develop together.
