Maya - Walk Cycle - Contact Method




Im progressing my knowledge of walk cycles with each one I complete and found this quite easy once I got around the graphs and editing the values.

Maya - spine and complete body rig





Only had a few problems overall but was relieved to finish it. I found it a very useful learning curve to learn more about some of the features in Maya.

Maya - Walk Cycle Rhythm - Down Pose



This is the original tutorial I found it quite simple expect the change in values and trying to keep the graph accurate.



I twicked the tutorial by adding bounces in the character's head/ body to exaggerate that he is bobing along as he takes each step. just felt it would be a fun alternative to the walk and give more emphasis to the bumps of the steps.

Maya - Rigging 1 - Legs



This is our first rigging task so there was a lot to get used to. I didn't have many problems, mainly the end section connecting the pelvis control to the legs as it would only include one or merge the legs together but eventually I resolved this. I have included one normal and one where the controls are highlighted showing what they are connected to.
