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

heh.. that's probably not intentional.. there's an annoying "skip" or "stick" in this animation which I really should iron out sometime! (as I've noticed that others who have used this have the same problem with their animations too!) ... - thanks for commenting! :]

..........oh wait, this is my comment. Um...looks very shiny (that's my personal slang for 'cool')! Shiny shiny shiny...I've got a dog so I might try using some of those poses if I ever get 'round to drawing him! It's so hard to get him right, though, because he's got a ton of wrinkles. Darn, I'm rambling. Yeah - good stuff!.....sleep now....

hey! Your dog sounds cool!! You know the best way to practice would be to draw him when he's sleeping!!

Actually this animation was a godsend... as I have been busting my brains trying to creat a similar horse animation... and the resluts are not encouraging... and this one is actually a very good example... it's a pitty there's no way to save this to my comp... or is there and I don't know? COuld you please give me permition to save this ( and tell me how to do it? ) I promise that when I will actually be able to compleet one of my animations, I will link back to this.
P.S.
Let me know if you want to see my current animations ( as they aren't posted anywere ).

hello Adjer

well I actually did try out that thing with the downloading and atempted to save... ( I would not have asked otherways ) but all I get is flash player options... nothing that lets me save the target or the file...
As for my animations... ceck these out... I know they stink... but oh well... I do know little about horese...

The head moovement in the last one is a total desaster... I know... but the overall body anatomy is better then the first one.
Alass the body looks very stiff as the horse's hindquarters move up and down as it moves too... and I can't seem to depict that no matter how hard I try... and I never seem to get if a horse will drop and raise it's head whille taking a half a step, or a full step... this thing baffles me, despite atempting to watch horses walking...
