PIE 1 Art, Animation: Project 4 – Lower Body Walk Cycle (Flash)
Created Wednesday, September 19, 2012 | Added Wednesday, September 19th, 2012

Class:
PIE 1 Art- Animation

Assignment:
Create two walk cycles in Flash. For both, take the PAP walk cycle from our previous assignment and recreate it in Flash using Flash’s bones tool. One walk cycle should move across the screen while the other should be stationary.

Description:
One of two animations for this assignment. We exported our PAP animations out as frames, imported those frames into Flash, traced them (and possibly improved them), and created a Flash armature (set of bones) from them. We were to first animate the cycle so that it didn’t move across the screen. This way, we could get the loop to look right. Next, we were to translate this animation across the screen. Of course, we had to make it look right. Legs do not simply float across the land (though mine does a little floating here and there >_>)!
