Walk Cycle ’12
Here’s another study we do early in Digital Animation – the walk cycle. As common and mundane and as walking may be, there’s a lot to learn here, especially if you want to go into animation. Once you break a walk cycle down, you’ll have a much better appreciation for a task we accomplish daily ...
Figure Eight ’12
