Michele Bousquet says in her book 3ds max animation with biped,
“The walk cycle can have winning and loosing impact to the overall animation”
I have embedded an experimental biped walk cycle animation that I created to show the impact of a simple 10 step 20mm com step cycle.
See Below.
I composited the robot biped into a still plate to see if there was an increased emotional response from the viewer to the character, I added some lighting effects but didn’t take the time to add the shadow mapping as this was an experiment.
I found that compositing a simple biped animation into a live action plate does add impact to the character and its effect on its environment.
