Reviews for "How To Animate Walking"

eh...

I've been using Flash for 3 years, not much help here. Basically what I tell people when making walking is to use keyframes and NOT motion tweens for the love of God. Of course, if they aren't the artistic type and don't know how people move their joints (you'd be surprised how many people don't seem to fuck it up) this would be useful. Still nothing amazing, and I think a 10 would be ridiculous.

Stew-Ped responds:

Keyframes is definately the way to go. I draw each frame separately unless I've got a long walking loop, then I draw the frames for one complete step, then copy the frames. I still have to go back and move the guy into the correct position though.

great in a sence

well i will use that nmethod o walking for my next sal manela movie

great

a noble cause. i'm glad you did this.

Very useful

Hey man, as a total newb to making flash movies (well, compared to all the ones on here that make everything I try to do at home look like poop), this kind of stuff is really useful. Hope to see more guides man.

Stew-Ped responds:

If you have a specific problem that seems pretty common, that could be my next one.

Perfect

This isn't what i thought it would be, i already knew how animate walking frame by frame, i kinda thought i was gonna learn something new, i'd like to talk to you about how you animate walking, did you use a tween(doesn't look like it but you never know), did you just draw all of them on the scene, or use symbols? i know everyone does it differently.

Stew-Ped responds:

I didn't use any tweens in the whole tutorial. I drew everything on the scene. I just copied and pasted his head at the end though, cuz I'm horrible at drawing circles the same over and over. If i'd have done that, his head would have been a totally different shape at the end than the beginning.
