Here are two short clips in Mov QT format Sor3 codec (appx 3 to 4 mbs each) of an animation test of a project Im working on...for those who saw my topic in General about "Model Building ethics" this is the model in question it was originally the Toon Horse off the AM 2003 CD...I modified it to where it now looks like the horse in this clip (pegasus horse that is) the original model properties had no created by credits but did have a last modified credit by Cabbot Sanders.

direct links below, I hope...

 

First clip is a closer shot ,second clip is a wide shot .

Wasn't sure which way to have his back legs go..I'll do an action with them stretching back and it should look more natural & then fatten the wings.

 

Thanks,

I'd suggest work on the part where he jumps up into the air. That seems to me where you'll get the most bang for your bucks and efforts.

 

Add some indicators of weight into the action. Example:

 

His entire body should lower back on his hind legs in anticipation of the jump.

Once lowered the legs can act as springs to catapult him into the air.

The wings need to suggest that they are an important part of getting him up into the air. Perhaps have the wings go so low to the ground that they have to bend upward then go as high as possible to grab as much air as they can.

 

Think about an action like pulling yourself up on two bars on either side of you without use of your legs. It takes an effort to get your body up.

 

As robcat suggests a more sweeping movement with the wings (throughout the scene but especially during the jump) will make this a beautiful shot.

 

Followthrough in arcs is what I call it.

 

Looks good though.

Inspirational! When I first saw it I said to myself, "Cool!"
