Jumping silhouette [WIP]

on: July 04, 2007, 01:05:25 am


Yeah I guess it's just lacking physics laws

Anyway, I'm feeling the animation isn't really fluid enough, what could I do to fix that specifically without using too many more frames?

edit: sorry, made this on a white background :x

One of the most noticible problems is he slows in momentum horizontally during the jump, which looks strange. Make the horizontal momentum consistent during flight. Also I think there could be more bracing/impact during the landing.

Aaaahh, could you make it darker, it's hard to see on the Pixelation board color. From what I can see it looks good though, apart from what EyeCraft said.

At the beginning of the jup, he seems to slide back. Make his body go forward instead.

Looks nice, except for the landing, like what EyeCraft said.
"Baboy" is Filipino for pig.

a bit surprising to see him doing such a jump without moving his arms ... I guess he has superboots or something.
Otherwise, indeed, try to keep constant horizontal offset between two frames while jumping, and i suggest vertical offset +5, +4, +3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5  as frames goes on. It usually gives good physics feeling ^_^

i think that movement is just linear....i'd make an edit tonight, if i have time...anyway i'd say the correct movement is sharper in the falll that in the rise...

+6 +4 +3 +2 +1 0 -1 -3 -5

i think that would be the correct sequence....
but i'm not expert...just brainstorming i guess.....
anyway i like it  :y:

great animation, but i would make his legs and arms move up after the jump, and down as he lands, Additionally, as was mentioned in the previous posts, i would make his jump/fall motion a bit faster.
my way of the pixel? -> minimum effort, maximum quality 0_0

EDIT:
I think it's a bit more okay now.
