Tiger animation study
DESCRIPTION
With this project, I wanted to do a deep study into the body mechanics of four-legged creatures especially those with a great amount of weight so I study tiger movement.
WHAT I LEARNT
In this project, I tried to lean the body mechanics of tigers. While initially starting with a more general movement, I was able to slowly hone in on all the special characteristics that make these creatures special.

MY THIRD STUDY
Finally learning from all the mistakes of my previous study I worked really hard on the body mechanics of the tiger and made it feel natural and weighty with each movement. This targeted many aspects of the animal and made sure I had a deep understanding of its movements I various situations.

MY SECOND STUDY
In my second study, I decided to slow down and approach the tiger in a walking situation where I started to grasp its concept of weight and more of the characteristics of the tiger that make it special. However, it never came across as natural enough to me so a helpful member of my community who works on some high-profile animal games gave me great feedback that was carried on to the third study.

MY FIRST STUDY
with this, I tried to create a run cycle using the Eadweard Muybridge book of horses and other animals in motion but based most of the framing on the animator's survival guide.however, this animation had many problems with it became less of a tiger and more of a general animal losing most of the characteristics that should define it
