Description Velociraptor mongoliensis walk cycle...

Yes, the same recycled Velociraptor figure, again.

The head is moving now, as well as the arms. The neck looks elastic, but considering this is my first animation, I'm pretty satisfied. Even without the halluxes.
Watching birds in slow motion: The neck goes back just before the foot touches the ground and forward again before leaving the ground.
Every arm moves a bit in the oposite direction of the leg behind (I'm not sure if necesary, considering that they already have the long tail for counter-balance).

This is one of the best restorations of Velociraptor I've ever seen. It would be perfect if they were also present dewclaws. Who knows what it would do with a wonderful background behind!Β Β  Β

Looks nice and smooth. Just a though: what about the head? Is it just me or is it too static? Watch birds' heads when they walk.

Kronosaurus82 [2012-07-28 07:30:16 +0000 UTC]

As many other told you, the head needs to move a bit back and forth, in a bird-like fashion.
Moreover I think its ankles are too thin. But overall you did a good job.

Tomozaurus In reply to ChrisMasna [2012-07-28 02:36:57 +0000 UTC]

It doesn't need to move heaps, just a bit, to make it seem less stiff.

eorhythm [2012-07-27 20:33:22 +0000 UTC]

The first thing I notice (like Willoughby above me) is that the head totally lacks movement. The tail and arms are conveying motion, but the entire neck and head look as though they're solidly fixed to a rigid body.

These guys are little packages of connected muscleβ€”they'd probably put their whole body into a run, bobbing and flicking their head and limbs in a rather frenetic manner. I'd suggest pulling the neck back first, then pushing it forward as the 'raptor launches from each step. You can tweak from there until it looks just right.

Leaving the head and neck on separate layers to move them independently should help as well. (That's what I'd do, at least.)

With that, an additional tweak to pull the arm back just a smidge with each advancement would enhance the effect of life-like effort that the animal is putting into its jog. That's not so much vital to a simple run cycle as it would be a nice perk, though.

eorhythm In reply to ChrisMasna [2012-07-28 08:29:02 +0000 UTC]

You're most welcome. And like others have said, it doesn't have to be a lot of movement. I wouldn't look to the ratites for reference, eitherβ€”their body plan is very specific and they lack a tail and low-slung gait.

Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Wonderful!

I imagine that in life it might have a little more "head-bob" going on than you've depicted, but it's definitely one of the most realistic 2D dromaeosaur animations I've seen.

btw, (sorry my english) "head-bob" is the movement of the head, right?
