Description
The head and tail probably could have been more realistic, but I tried so many different versions that now none of them look right, but I'm happy with this one. Anyhow, this is not meant to be a realistic run cycle, but more of a playful lope that you would never actually see.Related content

Thank you! I certainly will. Your point of view has proven quite helpful.

I have never tried to animate a dog, so I may be wrong, but I think that the problem with the tail is that it is to stiff. It mostly bends at the middle, like a plank, instead of moving like a... wave, or whip? I am unsure how to explain. I think you want the highest point to sort of roll from the base of the tail to the tip.
Also, you might want the base of the tail to be a bit thinner. Maybe.
Once again, this is just my uneducated guess, so I could be wrong.
Other than that, it looks really great. Good job. ^^

To me it looks like the head/neck should move more, to give it a bit more natural flow. The tail is a bit awkward looking, yes, I think it might look better if it.. Bent more? xD

I going to try a whole different head movement to see what that's like. This seems to be the most commented on. XD Yeah, I think it just needs to bend more in the middle and I think the tip is flicking at the wrong time.
Thanks!

Thanks! I made the changes and updated the animation if you had any further input.

I feel like the head and neck are too stiff, perhaps you could loosen the joints up a bit to give it a more natural movement.

I think you have the movement of the legs right but because there is very little movement in the spine or head it sort of looks more like a horse galloping rather than a canine running. If you take a look as this image here (sillydragon.com/muybridge/Plat… you'll see that the curve of the spine is very apparent and that is some sections it actually curves higher than the head. Also when a canine bounds forwards it drives it's nose forwards and this movement is usually a split second before the body itself moves. This gif here is a good example of what I mean: fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201…

I wan't sure what the head would do because it was a loping canter of some kind, and I can't say I've ever seen a dog canter. XD I'll try the head thrusting forward to see what it looks like, but I didn't think it would do that because its such a gentle run. I'll try changing the spine too. I'm now noticing the middle section might be too short as well...
Thank you for your suggestions.
