[MI] Another running cycle...

[SDWAN 2.8k]

This took me about 3 hours to do. From pose-to-pose/ blocking each pose 2 frames at a time with some other parts being animated 4 frames apart, like the body. You can give me any criticisms or feedback you want. its not like I get any...

 

 

 

This is kind of more of a jog now that I look at it. and... I messed up on the right arm

Yeah it looks more like a jog to me, but it's really good!

Looks pretty good! except the legs seems to be clipping through his own body? unless that always happens during run cycle in MI and i'm just noticing it now.

Hmm, it doesn't look bad, try adding bobbing.

i'll add bobbing to it when I actually use this cycle 'ere

This is pretty good! As has been said before, it could use some bobbing, but yeah. It looks great

looks alright. Maybe make the body move more fluidly. It seems too stiff imo.

2 frames per second seems to be the best option to animate now. no more mix and matching between frames

well I mean there should be more movement and bobbing in the hips. And I know you said that you are going to add bobbing when you put it in an animation, but a trick i always use for my walk/run cycles is to parent the character to a folder. This way you can make the character bob up and down and make the body move a lot more, and then to actually make the character move from point a to point b (like in an animation) you can just move the folder that it's parented to. I've always found it to be way easier that way.

That's actually pretty useful actually. I might test this one day

The movement is all good, but the body fluidity is a little sketchy. Try moving the knees up and the body to the side. Increase the distance between strides, to make him look like he's going faster.
