3rd Week of Learning: Walk Cycles and Mass

To ensure I learned bone structures and walk cycles properly, I tested my skills with a new animation of the hat character. I chose this as his hat shows how movement affects clothes and mass.

Next I animated a jump, again to show mass. While this is an unrealistic appropriation of mass, it still needs to use the same principles as other animations.

Finally, I wanted to try and learn non-human movements of mass, so followed a tutorial from the Animator's Survival Kit. This gives further knowledge on how to conduct smooth walk cycles, and not necessarily on human figures.
