[@unicornpupart]

tysm not a lot of people do tutorials of quadruped animals this is rlly helpful for animating any animal and drawing poses better :D

[@ryanglovka9478]

Such a good breakdown for these animals and their walk cycles! Very clear, concise and entertaining!

[@SkittyAnimates]

Thanks so much!

[@BrianKouhi]

[@homie3d617]

[@SkittyAnimates]

Happy to help! 🙂

[@arpanmahor4840]

wish this was available before i submitted my assignment for quadruped animation, its very helpful and short thanks for the video

[@SkittyAnimates]

Happy to help! ☺️

[@dhairyavijay2006]

Thank you Skitty for this tutorial, I was just heading on quadraped Walk Cycles Thank you so much 😊😊😊 I think that dog cycle is better and I love the ending of this video

[@SkittyAnimates]

Thank you! Hope it helps with your cycles!

[@kathleenz2412]

Absolute magic. Thank you for this!! What a brilliant animation

[@sydneycottrell6742]

Shoulda watched this before getting too deep into a project I’m working on! I’ll have to save this for later when I attempt again, I’m seriously struggling with my lion

[@RandomMe203]

This is super helpful! Thankyou!

[@ChindoEnyidah]

You know your stuff.

[@Chilli_Peppered]

this was beautiful! the only incorrect thing is that when a cat walks it's feet are walking almost on a line, as if they're balancing on something. but otherwise, they were both very awesome

[@animeforever8508]

Your videos are very informative thanks😊

[@DoctorMadness]

Great content you are a great teacher!

[@akumakazenoryu]

you saved my life

[@cloudshifter]

I love how every time I animated something my brain goes to the knowledge section I gained recently and goes "aaaaaand delete, that's useless".

[@sydneycottrell6742]

That’s honestly why I take notes while I’m working and save every video I use. It’s a pain while I’m doing it but months later when I’m trying again it’s easier to get back to where I was

0:24 it was lennon the bunny!

[@boaygamer]

Cool Going to make this soon 🤗

[@SkittyAnimates]

[@boaygamer]

@@SkittyAnimates Actually its very difficult 😓 if that is the case Im going to search the bvh files 😅

No problem!

[@parzival8331]

Thank you the amazing video I really appreciate it!

[@SkittyAnimates]

Glad you liked it!

[@CarnivorousSuperIntendent]

Would love to have a video for blender users

[@sahara3566]

i love your cat

[@doktorhyena]

Yeah, you still do have to make sure you know what your animal specifically does though. For example, you can't use dog animations on a hyena since their foot placement pattern is different and with hyenas, the neck is much longer and there is more up and down movement in the chest and shoulders than hip. Also, the hips never go higher than the shoulders in hyena locomotion. Overall just using actual videos of your animal will do you wonders rather than just going off animals that are only remotely similar.

[@SkittyAnimates]

You're absolutely right, the universal cycle is a starting point. It's much easier to adjust to the animal you're animating after the foundation has already been laid.

[@jsnotlout3312]

Thanks so much :D

[@neogouken]

Great tutorial! Keep up the great work! How long did the animation take you? how about the rigging process?

[@YaMao-111]

The background music distracts me a bit. But the teaching is SUPER great. Thank you for the tutorial 😊

[@TheCrazzyToobinator]

Challenge; learn how to animate 3D just to animate your cat (or dog) doing something silly once witnessed IRL but see how long it takes for anyone to figure out that you animated your own pet... Is it just me or does that dog look like Scoob?

[@eddieandersson5570]

Cat is awesome

[@SkittyAnimates]

Thanks! She certainly thinks so too haha

[@eddieandersson5570]

@@SkittyAnimates Ehh I meant the cat animation you made. But yeah your cat is also nice.

[@ShaarubFilms]

What is called this software you are using

[@SkittyAnimates]

It's Autodesk Maya :)

[@DrippleDribbling]

How do i transform the cycle into z-translate without the quadruped sliding?

[@samschmit7181]

Is that your cat in the background?

[@Vaeuel]

my only feed back is that I had a difficult time following along as your commentary/ explanation doesn't match with the video so I'm faced with having to go back and forth to see what your talking about as you talk about it

[@AndyWang-c4b]

The tutorial is soo good, but where can i find and download the dog free rig?

[@SkittyAnimates]

The links to all the rigs are in the description :)

[@cinomontague]

I wish you used blender its my favorite for sure

[@bluethumbbuttoneek9465]

It's basically the same tho u can follow along with this in blender I think that's why they put "universal" in the title

[@bluethumbbuttoneek9465]

Heck I bet u could follow this for reference for 2d animation too

[@Thecatfangs]

What app is this?

[@SkittyAnimates]

Maya

[@GachaSpicex1]

What app do you use???

[@SkittyAnimates]

I use Autodesk Maya ☺️

[@GachaSpicex1]

@@SkittyAnimates ok!

[@GachaSpicex1]

@@SkittyAnimates is it free?

[@SkittyAnimates]

It's not free, but you can get a 1 year license for free if you're a student in a 3D animation course!

[@SMCwasTaken]

Great video but dear lord please speak in a deeper voice

[@raghuchandra]

You were disturbing the Cat

[@Restart-Gaming]

would be nice if this would work in unreal but it will not unless we spend the big money for Maya

[@ChrisAnt]

Way, way too fast to be able to follow.

[@shadowflar3]

I'm annoyed at how you toss around magic numbers with "frames" as if it's an universal constant. Naturally these numbers depend on which FPS you are working with. I can't see why you wouldn't just use fractions of the entire cycle like "1/4 or 1/8 cycle".

[@henrysneck2719]

I mean you still understood what she said did you not?

[@godekchen9658]

Slow down ...will be great
