your robot looks great. Is your robot going to have a face (Unmanned) or is that head more for a pilots seat?

I'd love to see a rig as well. Did you manage to do this in a day or so? It's very impressive. Love the movement as well. A bit soft maybe for a robot, but nonetheless superb!

But testing around with movement it proved difficult for my amateur animating abilities.. So I just reverted it back to a basic parenting scheme..
had been thinking about a biped with extra joints in the limbs for a while now and this holiday time was the perfect time to try it out. Then the challenge was the extra nudge.
Thx for the comments. What do u mean by soft?

I don't exactly know what would improve on it as I'm not really that into animating, just browsing in the subject, and watched a few short tutorial. But my guess is that the whole movement should happen faster - or the end of the movement, the touchdown of the limbs - and the anticipation should be a bit longer. Or maybe you could help by moving the camera a bit (shaking it - very very little - when he steps for example, as the whole earth would shake because of it)
You could browse through the 12 animation principles for more info (on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_basi...s_of_animation). there's a tut about the principals of movement here on simplymaya, and i saw some on digital tutors as well.
hope it helps!
cannot wait for further developments

To actually spend time on animating it, I'll take into consideration of what u said. But for a 30 minute job, I hope his movements are shown well enough
