Facial expressions, dynamic timing, and exaggeration should be added to make the action visually engaging. Different shot framings are required, and we can incorporate free 3D props or backgrounds to enhance the scene. Lighting must be set up appropriately, and the animation should be rendered at 24fps with a resolution of 1280 x 720. The final submission includes storyboards and a video compilation showing the progression from blocking, through polishing, to the finished animation. For this particular assignment we should first gath...

First, we searched for reference images and videos of both original and pose-based walks, then recreated the walking pose. By observing the references, we identified the key extreme poses such as contact, down, pass, and up. We were then instructed to animate two types of walk cycles: the vanilla walk and the attitude walk. A vanilla walk cycle is a natural and standard walk where the character moves normally without any added emotion or style. In comparison, the attitude walk adds personality and emotion to the movement, making th...

For this particular assignment, the lecturer’s guidance and patient instruction greatly deepened my understanding of this section, though...
