Types of WALK CYCLE's in Animation

 

Types of Walk Cycles

A walk cycle can be described by four distinct poses:

CONTACT

RECOIL

PASSING

HIGH-POINT.

These four poses and a handful of in between drawings constitute a walk cycle. The single most important frame of the four is the contact pose. In between poses are called Low and high Points.

Styles of Walking

Different Walk styles are depending on the situation and movements of the legged figure. In animate we must follow two legs and four legs also.

Example for walk: Walk, Double bounce walk, Strut, Shuffle, Sneak, Run, Jump, Fast Run, Tip Toe, Skip, Cool, Heave, Long and Etc.,
