I’ve started planning for my next animation! Keeping with the parkour theme, I want to try doing a run with vaults/jumps over objects. I love their poses as they jump over things, so I want to experiment with that. Something a little shorter, but just as focused. Since things have been busy at work, I’m not quite sure how much time I can dedicate to this, but we’ll see.
Here’s the finished product. Of course, there’s always room for improvement. 😉 I widened the gap to make the landing a little more believable, made adjustments to the jump pose, and tried to make the poses a little punchier, but looking at it now it’s not so noticeable. That’s one thing that always bothers me when it comes to smoothing out animation; I tend to lose my poses. If anyone has any advice to preserving poses while smoothing, let me know.
Here’s part 2 of splining. Note to self, things are easier the more detailed the blocking is. Again, my challenges were with the arms and switching from FK/IK.
Let me know what you think!
