My students were tasked to create a unique walk animation. This is after their lesson focused on the basics of walk cycles, So It felt fitting that their midterm challenge to be the same but in their own way.

These are just the highlights of some of the student's works.

So her time was mostly spent creating portfolio pieces and so she ended up creating two short animations.
She also took this opportunity to test out her own 3D character model that she rigged and designed her self. You may notice that this rig is present in other student's animations.
