Walk animation project

This animation project builds a looping walk cycle in Maya. I used reference poses and keyframes to create a convincing rhythm, then added a jump as an extra movement study.

Making Key frames

Building the Walk Cycle

I worked at 24 frames per second and placed keyframes every three frames from 1 to 25 to create the loop.

Walk Cycle Result

The finished animation is a looping, confident walk cycle.

Additional Movement Study

This variation builds on the walk cycle by adding a jump.
