3-Jointed Figure

27 09 2008

Now that the site is behaving again and allowing me to actually log in…I can finally make a new post here, to show the previous project. *shakes fist at blog*

This little abomination of nature was made with a few extruded spheres and cylinders…the leg is in three parts, and parented from the foot upwards. I did try parenting from the opposite direction (body downwards) but couldn’t quite get the movement I wanted. As it is, the initial jumps work pretty well with the simple keyframe/rotate approach but the curves are still pretty wonky. Looks like he’s floating or something at the top of a couple jumps, especially that big one at the end.
