Assignment - Box/Jump

Assignment - Box/Jump

At first, I thought the first part of the assignment was tough and tedious enough, however, when I start to do the second part of this assignment, it was even more tedious and theres more things to do. For this part of the assignment, we are required to make the model walk up a few stairs and then jump down. It sounded quite easy, however, when starting to do the animation, it really isnt as easy as I thought.

The front part of the animation is still acceptable because is still walk cycle, however, when the model starts to move towards the "stairs", I didnt know what the next pose would be. These are some of the reference that I had searched for.

This is the main video that I referenced while doing the assignment. I noticed the weight when the character is climbing up the stairs.

I took a very long time to do the poses for the character while climbing up the stairs because I was a little messed up with the coordination of the legs, hands and how the waist should be like - Basically, the main weight shift while climbing the stairs.Another thing that I struggled was the jumping. It also took me quite some time as I was thinking what are the key poses.


This is how the final work looks like:

I would say, even though i struggled alot, I am still satisfied with the overall final work because I had learnt so much from all the problems that I faced.
