2D – Walk Cycle
Later on that day Aodhan demonstrated how to create a 2D walk cycle using Toon Boom. I followed along the videos to create my own 2D walk cycle then For homework, we were asked to add secondary actions to our walks.
Here is my walk cycle with headphones. I tilted the head while it was walking to give a 3D appearance.
I also created this Double bounce walk cycle in toon boom although the colour isn’t finished:
3D Walk Cycle Progress:
I worked further on my 3D walk cycle as I wanted to create my final animation in 3D as I have never really created a Professional looking 3D walk cycle before.
Here I created a block out of my Walk. I began by adding my contact, down, pass, and up pose.
After I was happy with these poses I Copied the contact pose first and pasted it flipped at the end of these poses which would become my middle contact pose. From here I did the same for each pose until the last contact pose. The last contact pose will be the exact same as the first to create a Cycle.
I am Happy with the block out so far. I just need to adjust some things and add the secondary actions like hair and some expressions to the face.
References I used to help with the block out stage:
I also recorded some gameplay from Tomb Raider as reference:
