Description
so this is gonna be tough... I am going to be working on animation for the foreseeable future, with a few enders here and there mixed in for variety. but I want to "GIT GUD" at animation cause i want to make cooler stuff.I know this does not look cool but this marks a point where i shift focus a bit from still images to something a little more challenging and ya got to start somewhere! i've been tinkering around with the rigs i make trying to make them easier to use that made fiona here far easier to animate than any other version i have of her. now all i need is practice!
one day we'll all look back at this laugh, or rather i'll join you guys (pretty sure you're laughing already) anyway expect more animations from here on out!
in the meantime enjoy

Nice, although I see some little issues like her eyes don't blink at the same time (kind of like the first Toy Story where they did just that) and her arms look like they are stuck in place in a funny way but that is indeed some sexy walk.

yeah I know, the eye blink thing comes from some tuts I watched that said real eye blinks are not simultaneous but one goes before the other I think the mistake here is the distance between frames. that and the animation appears to be running a bit slow overall. this and many other issues will be addressed in the next one.

Heh... we all know that "GIT GUD" feeling
You know what good looks like and you know you ain't quite there yet

It actually looks pretty neat for someone starting out, it doesn't sound like you are taking a class so it's self discovery which takes a lot more time to perfect on your own. It's pretty cool to see these
Do you think the odd gait she is walking is due to the rigging joints? (not in the right places or not enough)
It's neat to see her shadow (swishing tail included ) on the floor, was that program generated in conjunction with the light source? (coming from the top down)

Well thanks, Fox, means a lot!
I am actually not sure what is causing that, it might have to do with the distance her feet are apart. I've been looking at female walk cycles for reference and there is usually a bit of crossover on the contact pose.(notice she appears to kick outward with her right leg when it comes back down)I'll try to incorporate that into the next attempt.
to answer your last question: Yes, the shadows are automatically generated by the cycles rendering engine when I hit the render animation button it uses the light sources to calculate where the shadows fall. Fiona is illuminated by three 2 on her right and 1 on the left to brighten up her face!

I see what you mean with that leg kicking out. I'm sure you will figure it out. I used to play SecondLife and it was funny to see what people would come up with for an AV (Avatar) . Some were pretty good but a lot were just plain loopy. In SecondLife they had a thing called an AO (Auto Overrider) which basically controlled the Avatar's standing, sitting, and walking movements. Without one your AV looked like robot waddling around and you could easilly tell who was the Noob as you can get an AO for free if you knew where to go.
It's pretty neat how the software can help you with cool extra touches. I think about the really corny bad 3D render commericials out there and to me you are doing way better

oh dear god... So many things... They certainly didn't take their job seriously
When did Rouge the Bat become Rouge the Rat? Seriously... that's what the internet is for!

Oh I understand and making animation shorts for commercials is cool by me
trust me you got the skills and creativity to do it!
