Description
EDIT: This is still getting
s but it would be nice to know of anyone actually using this! - gimmie a link if you make an animation using this as reference will ya? I'm interested to see 
...also, it'd be great if you linked back to this tutorial so that other people can benefit from it too! ^-^-----------------------------------
my good friend Cerzz has started to dabble in the wonderful and pain-staking world of animation!
So far she's been lookin' mostly at dogs, so I quickly knocked up some thumbnails and threw together this tutorial to try and explain a few things. It only took an hour to put together, so it's not meant to be any conclusive lesson in making the perfect run cycle, more that it's simply intended to illustrate a few things which aren't easy to explain in words. I figured I'd post it up here in case anyone else finds it useful!I suggest using this only as a guide, as you can see the animation itself is basic and by no means flawless!!
the animation should loop automatically (if not, right click, loop) and if it's too small to read any of the text, right click, zoom in. my tutors would screw if they knew I was workin' on this instead of my school work lol! ... me go bed now
Hope it helps Cerrz

Hey, used your animation as a template for my hellhound [link] . He's abit stumpier. I'll probably make his grin bounce later, when I get to the final details for the game.
Anyway, what you've done is perfect and sums what I needed to learn more then anywhere I could find on the net. Thanks

OMG, I can't believe I found this! Ages ago before I was on deviantart, I used this as a reference for an ms paint running cycle of my dog, Flea! [link]
I can do cycles without refs now, but I'm still happy I found this again! Now I can properly give you credit.

could you take the bases and just color them. i stink at drawing on the computer...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
umm.. you /could/... but it probably wouldn't look very good! (as this is only a rough guide and has no detail or anything!)
If you do please make sure you credit me for the animation and link back to this tutorial.
thanks

what program do you use to make animations?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did this in Macromedia's Flash (which is now Adobe flash)

oh? well how much does it cost? (i really wanna animate stuff)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well I'm not sure where you're from, you'd be best off looking it up on google or something, but if you're American than it will be well over $100 ... however before you splash out and spend a lot of money you might want to have a look for "Free" animation software first ... you'll never get anything as comprehensive as Flash, but there might just be something out there that will get you into it without breaking the bank. - Try sticking "free animation software" (or program) into google and see what comes up.
Good luck.
