She used to just walk, now she's taken a page from the book of Aguilera and wants to show her stuff.

I've changed the model a little since the last time I showed her. I gave her a new outfit and a ponytail (still waiting on rigging the ponytail).

As before, this model uses cogs for the joints and The Setup Machine for the rig. All animation was done by me, but I used a video as the reference. This clip has sound, so it weighs in at about 3 mb.

Any comments about this clip would be appreciated.

er... I guess not.

Any idea which forum might be the right one for actual critiques?

Hey Paul, it looks pretty cool, although first of all I would get rid of the slow camera zoom/dolly, its very distracting and doesnt really bring much to the animation, sometimes it gives the impression that the feet are actually sliding.
Otherwise it quite good, the animation of the pony tail and some secondery motion will defenetly help.

The camera move is sort of what happens in the actual video. Since I'm not looking to recreate the video, then it makes sense that I can lose the move. The feet don't slide, but without areal setting how could you know::)

Thanks for taking a look, Gru.

Anyone else?
