Run Cycles

Hi guys.  Here are some inspirations and references for your run cycles.




This video shows something that is interesting to note.  This girl is shown landing on the balls of her feet instead of her heel, which is what I showed you in class.  That's ok!  That's very realistic, since jogging this way is better for your knees.


I have tried to find running tutorials, but the ones I see are not very good.  I think by now you should be comfortable keyframing in maya., and you know what kind of poses you want to hit.

Topics covered in class to remember
-A-tools tweening
-Holding "I" and middle mouse in the graph editor to drop key frames on the curves.
-Retiming the run cycle by pushing and pulling keys.

HOMEWORK
Based on critiques in class, please revise your walk cycles.  Polish them up!  Perhaps you can use it on an animation reel!

Next do a run cycle!  Please playblast a quicktime with H.264 compression, at HD 720.  Please email them before class begins.  We will critique them at the beginning of class.
