Week3: Walk cycle with realistic rig

The task for this week is choosing a different rig and do the walk cycle. I personally prefer the realistic character, so I chose a rig called Robot Soldier. There is another task for this character, using the constraint to relate an object with the character. Therefore, I find a free hammer model and download it on Sketchfab, I also download a underground train model as my scene.

This robot looks complicated but it’s actually easy to control with the Advanced Skeleton Biped controller. The reason I did these things is I wanted to add some atmospheres on this work. I tried to make it looks cool and a bit horrible, so I set the light from the ceiling as self-luminous, and outside the train are complete dark. After this, I started doing the animation, do the walk cycle, nothing special but just make it walk slowly, because this robot is going to kill someone and everything is under its control. For this task, I used the timing and staging from the principle of animation.
