recovering from rolling with olympian 11 meters per second? easy. those were probably the hardest frames so far and you can't even read them.
timing might be a bit iffy still. but thats a problem for future me. (if I even get around to give it a second pass)

After setbacks and the holidays back with a vengeance.
Hippity hoppity after the bachelor's i gonna droppity.

Stop and go!
Takes way to long to regain control if it goes instatnly back to the stopping animation, but I have an idea to make it feel better. Now i'll have to blend the stop animation better into the walk and also -probably- mirror all following animations if you stop on the left foot. We'll see.

It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!

Finally managed to get it into unity properly! (I hope)
Animation blending works wonders out of the box. (thx unity)

need to dial back the shoulders on the walk, though. they do look a bit silly.

Sprint done! Became a fan of Sha'Carri Richardson in the process & referenced her heavily. She's so fast I still had to slow her by 6% to match it roughly.
so, next week: an actually motivated idle animation, throw it into unity, hook up the animator and feel out whats next.

Back on track.
2/3 animations done (depending on feedback).
Now, just the full sprint remains before I can go and throw them into unity and see what happens.
also start and stop animations. And a turn-around. And falling. Braking, decelerating, jumping, climbing, landing...

Once more. Must be getting old at this point. Now I'll let it rest until I get some professional feedback. The changes are becoming homeopathic.

Sooooo... onto the jog. Tomorrow.

iterations iterations iterations...
After extensive feedback from my prof last week I went back and analyzed motion capture animations to get a better understanding of the body's movement. Im still not 100% happy with the bounce and I'll animate the fingers tomorrow.

vers 2 - less hip sway, fixed legs roll off, contact is still a bit iffy.
for a confident female walk i reckon it'll work for now.
you'll probably see this almost never in-game.

maya crashed only 4 times in 4 hours. unloaded some unused plug-ins and update my driver now.

Updates, people! Updates!
Working on walk cycles. First iteration of the walk.
For the basic running I want to go for 3 speeds.
Walking at 1.4/ms
Jogging at 3.3
and the over-the-top-sprint at 11 m/s
to be able to blend between them.

Also maya crashed 6 times today.
