Animating Natural Walk Cycles
Free Live Workshop
Walks are an important bio mechanic and locomotion that all animals possess. Human walks are considered biped walks (upright 2 legged walk) while animals that stand on all 4 legs have a quadruped walk (4 legged walk).
In this live session, Animator and Director Don Kim will be focusing on breaking down and animating a natural biped walk, delving into the body mechanics involved and doing a demonstration on the workflows to animate the walk.
Don will also be taking your questions!
