9:50 2D – The Walk Cycle

Last week we created and collected some individual scenes using the Grease Pencil and even sequenced in the Video Editor – all right in Blender!

Today we’ll hammer out a proper walk sequence, colorize our character and then
add a bunch of modifiers to get some different effects from one basic walk cycle.

To set up the walk cycle, we only really need four poses and we will animate on the 3’s (every 3 frames) if we are working at 24 frames per second.

Frame 1 & 25 same (contact pose) head is level
Frame 4 & 16 same (down pose) head is lower than level
Frame 7 & 19 same (passing pose) head is level again
Frame 10 & 22 same (up pose) head is above level

Things to try out: grease pencil modifiers, time modifiers, parallax effects through positioning in 2D workspace.

10:45 Unity – Making our Animation Work

Setting up Parameters and Conditions to play our character animations

We created animations for the player character and made transitions between the different states of our character in the Animator. Specifically creating some parameters and conditions for when the character takes on those poses.

We now need to add the code in our Player Script so our character knows what to do.
