Animation WIP: More Hexapodal Gaits
Added 2021-08-13 20:42:21 +0000 UTCI decided that considering how many possible gaits there are for hexapodal motion, I wanted to try portraying at least 3. This is a "rolling" walk, alternating tripod trot, and the same sprint animation from the previous WIP post, getting closer to being refined. I decided that I makes more sense for centaurs to mostly stabilize their head while they walk or run, sort of like a bird.

I will probably be adding more jostle to the finished cycles, centaurs have spine flexibility more similar to wolf than a horse. Body movement is the most frustrating part to adjust for, so I've been putting it off... ð

2021-08-15 02:57:30 +0000 UTCis it a little easier now to look at quadrupedal motion with them upright, having the keyframes?
