It’s about time for another animation round-up from my fundamentals of animation class. Now that the quarter is coming to an end, we’re getting into the more serious stuff, including our first character animations. We got to animate a frog side step, a walk cycle and a run cycle. I’m beginning to see how the trick is to break down the character into several smaller components, animating each part on its own. That is, at least until I can track them all simoutaneously in my head. I can tell you one thing, it’s giving me an even deeper appretiation for all the advantages of Flash, and how it keeps you from getting lost in pagination semantics.
