NT's Anims - Grappling Hook [22/09/11]

Could you allow re-voting in the poll, because I changed my mind? ;D

Done. :)

I've made 2 new animations.

Punch test

Kick tests(Unfinished)

Outlined stickmen.

Punch test: He was really shaky, and the non punching arm acted in an unnatural way. Also, I thought the trail from the second punch lasted a little too long. The easing of the arms at the end was pretty bad as well, and he could've ended in a more pleasing and realistic position.

Kick test: The arms once again had terrible easing, and the whole body was shaky at points. On the run, the arms didn't sync up with the legs. Also, the first jump and stop thingy looked really choppy. Blood was nice though.

Also, would you mind helping me with my run?

The punch was pretty good except for the second arm and second trail, and the kick was kinda stiff. The wall jump had bad easing in the arms. BTW, To fix those line bugs, make sure the black lines are in the back by subselecting the nodes and pressing ctrl-b. Make sure you release more anims so that you don't lose any more skill!

Thanks. For me animating the arms is alot of trouble. xP
I'll try to realease more animations also.

Thanks, I'll try focusing easing on the arms.
Sure, I'll try to help on the running.

Thanks for the CC.

*Another run test + other things.

The legs are good, but the trails make it look weird in slower playback in Safari. It only looks good in Camino. BTW, I really like the rocks, they're a nice touch. Next time, however, make the rocks go on the ground and go behind him like a passing object.

I think those "rocks" are actually water droplets.

You're getting really good NT. Keep it up.

That's why you use Camino for viewing animations... >.>

And this run is kind of what I wanted, except maybe a teeny bit slower, and a less stiff back. But I like this style too. :D

Thanks!

Those circles were mean't to be dust particles but either way is good. ^^
I need to keep working on animating the arms. x_x

[Nate]

And the back, too (as hoboapple said)! Also, the arms looked like they had heavy spacing. Try setting the animation to a higher framerate, and use 7-9 frames so the arms have time to move. If you're animating a sprint, make sure that it has a lower frame delay (like 2), but just as many frames.
