Default - A - Day: Day #7! Challenge!!!

Post by Ray »

Well the site is sort of dead nowadays and I feel like no one really practices as much anymore. Not animate, but practice. Practice animations are what really give the site its activity and are the main reason why people improve. But then people stop practicing and either work on long projects (which aren't animated that well due to the lack of practicing) or just dont animate at all. Just thought it'd be nice to get people animating some more, everyone needs to go back to the basics sometime. (mm



So it'll work like this, every day I'll say to animate a specific movement using the default stk. (The movements will start out simple but if this is a success and people benefit from it we can complicate things then ;)). And everyone who participates will post their animation here. CC and feedback are greatly welcomed for those who may not be able to animate this type of movement well. I'll also make an animation of the movement and will give any helpful tips and criticism I can for beginners or anyone who asks.


Day 1: Running
Animate the Default stk into a running loop

Day 2: Falling

Day 4: Waving

Day 5: Walking!

Day 6: Skipping!

Day 7: Challenge!
Animate the Default stk doing all of the previous days' movements in one animation!

Your spacing is good. Or it's good enough so that the animation isn't blurry which is still good. But when hitting the ground, you want the body to bounce a little bit. Or it can be dramatic like my animation is. The limbs don't have to flail but the body should somewhat bounce.
