Week3:Dog walk and FMP

Dog walk side view feedback:

Adjustment of hip (butt) rotation
The dog’s hips will naturally rotate with each step as the weight of the body shifts. Generally, the rotation of the hips is divided into the following directions:

When the dog steps, the hips will rise and fall slightly with the force of the back foot:
When the back foot lands to exert force, the hips will lift slightly (near the side of the exerting foot).
When the back foot is off the ground, the hip will sink slightly (because the other foot is bearing the weight). This rotation is usually small, but it is important for realism.

Shift of weight:
When the puppy steps, the weight of the body will be alternately transferred to the left and right sides of the back foot.
When one of the back feet lands and exerts force, the hip on the corresponding side will slightly press down, and the other side will slightly raise, forming a “rocking” effect.
This left-right swing should be synchronized with the movement of the center of gravity (which can match the swing of the root bone), and the swing amplitude can be adjusted appropriately according to the size and gait of the puppy.

Natural sense of gait rhythm:
The hips twist slightly from side to side with the gait, depending on which back foot is exerting force.
When the right back foot steps forward, rotate the hips slightly to the left;
When stepping with your left back foot, rotate your hips slightly to the right.
Make sure the hip twist is consistent and avoid overly mechanized side-to-side shaking.

Coordination between the balls of the feet and the hips
The landing and power of the back foot should perfectly match the rotation of the hips. For example, when the left back foot exerts force, the left hip is slightly raised, and the right hip is naturally pressed down, forming an alternate rhythm.

Curve adjustment:
Use Animation Curves to fine-tune the keyframes on the balls of the feet and hips to ensure smooth movement and rhythmic coordination.
Refer to the real video: Slow motion analysis of puppy walking video, pay attention to the relationship between hips, feet, and center of gravity, and imitate its natural rhythm.

Skeleton and controller Settings are recommended
Reverse Foot: Use the Reverse Foot Rig to adjust the detailed movements of the feet and toes.
Root Control: Ensure that the up-and-down movements of the root controller are synchronized with the movements of the sole of the foot.
Hip controller: Independently set hip controller, allowing fine adjustment of hip rotation and swing.
