Outcomes Idle For the idle animation I made the sprite bob up and down the way boxers do during fights. Walk Run Jump Evaluation I think all my animations could use more secondary action as most of them don’t have much if any which makes them less realistic and less interesting. The jumping animation could… Continue reading Week 10 Challenge – Unity Bone Rigged Animation

Week 9 Challenge – Sprite sheet
12 principles of animation Squash and stretch Squash and stretch can help show motion more than just copying an object over and over in different places.

Week 8 Challenge – Anatomy
References I used basic references to get the general anatomy for the sketches.

Process I started with a small cat sketch in photoshop using one layer for the sketch, one for cleaner,… Continue reading Week 3 Challenge – User Interface
