second flash session

character walk cycles

i want to make an animated walk cycle with replacement models and make loads of small models, ive done some sketches of the character i might do.

first time on flash!

this was my first animation processing lecture and my first time to use flash, it was quite easy to pick up. all the adobe products seem to be quite similar which is making life alot simpler. so here is my fist flash animation using both frame by frame and keyframe animation!

Background Project

Final Walk Cycles

these are my final walk cycles in both 2D and 3D based on my own walk cycles. I am pleased with them both, the 2D one could have been improved with some secondary animation on the hands and a bit more attention paid to the feet. Also the shoulders and waist of the 2D figure dont look quite right, they seem to be at an angle. I am mostly please with my 3D but could have been nicer if there were more steps.





This was our final 2D and 3D animation project of the first term. After the first term im finding i prefer the 2D animation process i find i feel i have more controll over what im doing but i think my 3D final animations actualy look better, im looking forward to next term to develop these skills ever further.
