Walk Cycle Animation



This is a walking cycle I have animated in After Effects using the supplied assets. I have imported the file in PhotoShop and made it into a gif.

The animation overall has successfully achieved a fluid animation and loops well.

It has issues in certain areas of the body and certain movements which I will list below.

  • The hand movement seems limp and unnatural
  • The front leg appears to get stuck or caught as if tripping on a rock
  • The looping on the arms results in a sharp change of direction (This is an example of how an Easy In/Out could possibly resolve this issue)

  1. Thanks for uploading this, have you had a chance to complete a cycle with another character?
    It is good to see that you looped this animation as it becomes much easier to evaluate the repeating motion. What I would like to see now is a version where you have corrected some of the issues you found in this version.
