Week 1: Creature Animation

Introduction

This week we started working on creature walk cycle. We could choose between dog or cat. I am more interested in dog walk cycle. Quadruped walk cycle always look very complicated to me so I am very keen to learn how to animate this walk cycle.

Creature Walk Planning

For any animation exercise, it is always better to record a reference to analyze how the body moves. Here is the reference I chose for the walk cycle to understand the basic fundamentals.

Thumbnails

I did some basic thumbnails for creature walk.

I further took references from Richard William’s dog walk cycle. It helped me a lot to understand the fundamentals of quadruped creature walk.
