A walk cycle? With no legs??
Hey Campers, Tony Ross of tonyteach.com here. In this premium Toon Boom Animate tutorial, we create a forward walk-cycle (no legs involved).
This tutorial is based on anime and old-school limited animation, like Scooby Doo. Whenever you would see a character walking toward the camera, they would only be shown from the waist up. This was used as an option, when time and budget were tight, as it takes longer to create a convincing forward walk cycle when the legs are visible.
This Premium tutorial is 26 min long, and normally priced at $2.95, but for a limited time, you can get this for just $1.
All the best-
Tony Ross

He owns a small business focusing on photography as well as freelance visual communications including animation. Gregory uses Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and Animate Pro to create animation for children that are wholesome, fun and exciting videos with Christian Values. “I’ve started my animation career with Digital Pro. Even the simple upgrade to Animate Pro has vastly improved productivity and cleaned up my timeline. With the use of key-framing drawing layers instead of just pegs, and now symbols, my cut-out characters are much easier to manage.(..) (Toon Boom Professional Products) are by far the best animation software on the market. Ease of use and quality outputs, nothing compares. Customer and Tech support are second to no-one”, commented Greg.
