Walking is an important bio mechanic and locomotion to master in animation. Human walks are considered biped walks (upright 2-legged walk) while animals that stand on all four legs have a quadruped walk (4-legged walk).
In this workshop, Animator and Director Don Kim breaks down the process of animating a natural biped walk, delving into the body mechanics involved and doing a demonstration on the workflows to animate the walk.
He also takes questions from attendees to the live-recorded event.
