Tiger Run Motion Test

posted by Freddy

Here’s a motion test I’ve been working on. It’s a tiger running then turning a corner. Rig is pretty cool, found it online here: BigCat Rig

Just a note that the camera is panning to the left. I’ll probably add some props to make it more apparent as I get closer to finalizing this shot.

    Hey Freddy,
    Looking really good dude. The only thing I’m not feeling is the stop. Feels a little too abrupt. I think maybe having the hips overshoot over to the left as the front stops, so that his mass still has some inertia to it as it’s trying to turn? You could probably work it in so that he’s not so much as stopping, but turning direction?

    Hi Freddy,

    Looking great! It has a great sense of weight and fluidity and the overlap is looking sweet. I think you could stand to get more extension on the legs during the run and on the stop (particularly at 41) to make the run a bit more dynamic. Great work!

  3. Freddy Said,

    Thanks for the great feedback guys! I’ll keep those notes in mind as I continue to work on it. Much appreciated!
