A great walk cycle tutorial from April Peters, who has laid out really fantastic instruction on building walk cycle quickly, easily and above all, correctly! ALthough the tutorial takes you through creating a walk cycle in Maya, April does point out that this would be the same process for any animation application 2D or 3D. This meathod was really foreign to me as I am not really an animator, so it was a pretty big surprise to find that April sets to animate the legs as one of the LAST things in the process… very interesting! What?! we don’t walk with our legs!?! omg now I have to read this.
A quote from the page where April says “I am about to do for you what your teachers and your uncle Richard wouldn’t, and show you how to animate a biped walk quickly, easily and correctly.” – Awesome, bring it on!
