I like it. Specially how the light reflects off of him. My only thing to point out (should you ever make an avatar out of the pic or something) is to smooth out the start and ending of the cycle. Because it makes him jerk noticably midwalk. Nothing but a bit of elbow greese would fix that XD good job over all.

Oh Id make an avatar out of it, but theyve capped the limit at 25k down from like 200k to get a decent animation for an Av Id need around 30-50 sooo, no more avs for myself for the near future unless I want it 4 colors :P

Yes Its not a locked in piece it was a rough first render that Im not going to bother trying to fix as it wont be a loop in the final animation anyhow :P I knew someone would catch it tho so mise well be the first person and get the nagging over with :P

XD Glad I could be the first and last person you could point out your reasonings to. Better to get it out of the way now and all =P

Isn't Maya a fantastic program? I once had it, but I borrowed it from someone and haven't been able to afford or get a job that would give me a new copy.

Lip syncing is easier if you use a program like goldwave and edit your voice so it fits better with the draggo lips. So that way you wont have to get it spot on.

"Glad I could be the first and last person you could point out your reasonings to. Better to get it out of the way now and all =P"

Haha, you probably wont be the LAST person :P

Better then i can do with my current Skill ^_^;;

Wow, that's amazing!

yup, looks all good, especially the natural way hindpaw toes curl and splay out. Only thing is that forepaws seem to skid slightly

I looked at this so many times I never even saw that o.o Ummm... you know, there might be some numbering issue, and the jerkyness might actually be from a cluster of frames being insert before they ought to be o.o (things can get screwed up like that when you render each frame as a separate file)

really excelnt job on the walk animation -- kinda odd still that the texture is shifting though =/

Love the hindpaw lol xD

The texture shifts because the specular is part 3D projected noise, which isnt pinned right now to his skin, which means when he walks he will look like hes moving through clouds. :P Im aware of the problem (infact even before I rendered it) but I decided against going through the hassles of baking the texture when the texture isnt even done yet anyhow :P

You could always add a texture reference object. (Texture->create texture reference object) That should put an end to the moving texture.

Yes I know, but I didnt want to fool around with stuff I wasnt sure about (ie, havent done yet) , I plan to for the end, that or bake it so no worries :P

Very nice, particularly with such an unusual walk cycle.

Makes me want to see a run, to see if he'd run like a gecko! :D

He would probably look more like a bunny or kangaroo, his running will most likely use both feet at near or exactly the same time, he is a pouncing predator.... sneaks up close and has an enormous jump to him: thanks to his rear legs being so very large :)

AWESOME

oh wow that looks amazing:D well done indeed:D

Lovely! Interesting how the light source seems to be coming from beneathe him.

See it seems that way, because it is *grin* well and other directions too but the blue light is from below :3

A galop might be fun to animate...it might look more fluid. The rear hips seem to bounce a bit much. An animal on four legs does has less of a rise and fall of their hips while walking.

Well there isnt any animal that walks on 4 legs whos hind legs are 2 and a half times longer than their front legs... he is a pouncing and hopping creature, whom also can stand on his hind legs... Now a human on the other hand has about the ratio, but guess what, they have an even tougher time walking on all fours :3

But I practice all the time! I'll get better! :D

THAT'S what this reminds me of! Joanna, the lizard from Rescuers Down Under. :D

I dont really remember the lizzard o.o *thinks*

Awesome work :)

Wowo Very awesomly done. The animation is very life like.

Beautirfully concieved. Beautifully animated. Beautifully textured. And beautifully silent. ;)

Definately a fav.

Haha! no music playing in the background on this one, no sir-rreee! :D Thanks for the complimenties :)

Very nice and well animated. Lol it does seem kinda strange seeing my name on it, but i must say it looks rather nice. But i prefer green scales and purple feathers. XP (Put black stripes on him and itd look like my first incarnation.)

Hehe well anyways, tis very nice looking and nicely animated. Especialy the feet, nice to see the toes curl like that. Makes it look more lifelike.

Haha well he wasnt named after you, but he may wind up with some stripes, as the texture is not finished yet :P

Lol hehe i know, youve already informed me before even uploading these. I just thought it would be silly to make a comment on it. XP

*jaw drops*

XD If I knew he had a habbit of doing that I might have considered other things for him. :D

Nice job.. :) I like it

haha, thanks, and thanks for the fav ^_^

THATS impressive when its moving :D Even more so and I thought that was near impossible :p

Great job on the animation. The bones and motion prop on the left leg and foot look great but right at the end before the right lifts I see a little something but it's very minor. It could just be the frame spacing in the anim. Overall it's really really good. I hope you got a good grade on it.

OIhh! What program you use?

Maya in this instance.

Looks very cool
