Yep, definitely a little bounce could help. Also a real-time speed instead of
the slow motion. It's superb besides. Really alive now if it weren't for its
obvious nonhuman creature status (depends on who you ask about life forms I
guess).
Jealous of your work, but then you're not the only one around here I'd say that
about so keep that ego in check.

make him run twice as fast with a slight motion blur - that will be much
cooler :)

You took my suggestion of having our characters run in the same animation as a
joking suggestion for a race to see who could finish a running animation first.
If so, you definitely won. When I tried it, my character's feet started flying
independently from their ankles, perhaps a function of my FK/IK system and a
rotation of the toeball pt of >90 degrees.
Very cool. I'd just bob the hips up and down a bit: that's the only thing I'd
change.
Exactly what was ingo's reference material?

Nah, I didn't really know what you meant... :)

Now is the time to strike. Come on Greg, use pure IK! Join me on the dark
side! ;)
(Just to avoid confusion, this IS a joke! :)

Hi all! Thanks for your replies!
Many of you suggested to me that I should add a bit more movement to the
hips and body. Well, I'll consider it, but first I'd like you all to
consider this:
On this page
http://web.inter.nl.net/users/anima/chronoph/motion/index.htm?023.htm&1
there's an animations with a real man running. Note that his body and head
almost doesn't move. That's what I based my animation on. I think the only
reason it looks strange is, that the camera closely follows AL so the
"floating body" becomes very visible. If AL ran across the field of view or
something like that, one probably wouldn't notice the "floating effect".
So, do you still think I should add more movement to the hips? I'd like your
advise!
Also, a few requested a faster animations with motion blur. I need a little
help with that. MegaPOV internal motion blur doesn't work in this case (too
complex movements), so I have to do it externally. I tried to use DTA, but
it generated an error every time I tried to use it's frame-averaging
features. Is there any other program I can use? (I know, POV-Ray itself can
be used, but I'd prefer an easier method.)
Greetings,
Rune

My code is very complex, messy, and a work in progress, so I won't make it
available anytime soon. But you can see a simple IK function in
povray.binaries.scene-files
Look after a message by me called "IK Leg" from September 24 2000.

Maybe...

Looks good, but there should definitely be up-and-down movement in
Al's body. To look realistic, at the times both feet are in the air,
the body should accelerate down by 490cm/sec; when he has a foot on
the ground, the body should accelerate upward by the exact amount to
restore the original position and upward momentum.
Regards,
John

That set of rotoscopes from Muybridge is what I called the "geeky" runner.
There is another one of a guy with a mustache that made a much cooler anim
when I was playing with Hash A:M. I'm sure that most runner's hips go way up
& down when they run.
