Hi,
I’m looking for any feedback for this walk cycle. I’m going for a female runway walk. I know there are problems in the legs (pops and such,) but I’m having trouble working them out, and I also am having trouble identifying problems in other area of the animation. I like the front view of it, but I think the side is incongruous, and any help is appreciated.

Thanks for any feedback and consideration.

Hi,
From my very limited experience, I would say…

The front is pretty nice. She feels sassy, like a woman.
From the side view, lean her body forward more. Also, the back foot has a “fast out” off the ground. Make it a slow out (have the foot travelling fastest as she pulls it under her body), and see how that works.

Keep up the great work!

Hi Amoebanana!
I think the biggest issue is that her back leg never goes straight (or close to it) so the steps don’t feel like they have any power behind them.

Good luck
