Today I have been tasked with sourcing some videos on walking to help me understand how to animate a perfect walk cycle.
The first video I found was this one. “the perfect walk” by james Braithwaite
In this video he explains what a perfect walk cycle is in terms of posture and how it can help improve posture as he specializes in physiopherapy, this helps me as he goes through step by step on how to position the different parts of your body while walking.
The next video I have found is “Animating walk cycles” by Alan Becker
This video goes though different walk cycles that can be used to animate different types of walks from happy, excited to sad and depressed but it also points out subtle details that make each of the walks accurately. The timing, position and offset for each walk specifically.
