Animation test

Derius · 13-12-2005, 09:29 PM

I was just messing around with some non-realistic "fighting" animation (using a biped) the other day and decided to render it to see how it looks. But what is really bothering me is that, in some frames, the character´s hair just disappears.

Ok....link works now

First off, the camea moves too much and too chaotically....Its really hard to give any critique on the animation if I can't see whats going on. But, from what I can see, its looking like a good first pass. The main area of improvement I can see is the end. He hits that last pose hard with no ease in or settle. The swing of the sword is really hard to see, but it looks slow and a little "floaty" to me. Its a big sword and it doesn't look like he's putting any effort into swinging it....and once it does get moving, it takes not time or effort for him to stop it. With that huge of a weapon, it should almost swing him as much as he swings it.

But anyway, good start, just keep working at it. And next time, post it with less camera movement so its easier to critique.

Maybe bend his right foot when he's knelt at the end so his whole foot isn't touching the floor.

What's he hitting?

Buzzy: yeah the camera does move too fast doesn´t it.You got a really good point about the size of the sword and the way the character handles it. But a problem I´m facing is that I animated the guy with footsteps (jumping) and I cant seem to set any keys before or after the footstep ones (which is the reason why he is not moving in the beginning nor the end). I´ll try to render it with a less chaotic camera movement. Thanks a lot for the tips.

Jon Jones: You´re right, his foot bending at the end is exaggerating. He is hitting a sphere (no points for creativity on that one). Thanks for the comment.

Mashimaro: umm... I don´t think I understood your question so well, but , if you used Max, try doing something in the Render Output group.
