It lost some detail when reduced down to fit avatar specs. Took me a while to get all the legs working in a somewhat natural manner. Enjoy visiting with you guys here, keep up the good posts. Everyone keeps me hyped up and will be very excited to finally get some seat time in one of the '05s.

 

Pretty cool, but it seems to be moving backwards.

 

nah it's the back legs that don't move right

looks good though

 

Since I'm not a horse man, I had to guess at how the back legs moved. Somewhere I heard that the back hooves hit approximately where the front ones lift off the ground. I think also that when a horse is running, the back legs pretty much move together so the horse more or less thrusts himself forward off the back two legs. I'll work some more on it, this was my first effort and I wasn't sure it would move once posted.

 

this may help a bit

Horse gallop frame by frame

I like the idea though!

 

I also think that the tail should move more than that!!!

 

It's nice, but my new av is better. :P jk

As the link burningman posted confirms, horses gallop one foot at a time, not two feet like a squirrel. Very nice workmanship though.

 

what program do you guys use to animate your avatars?

 

Paint Shop Pro

 

you can also use imageready


//HA! i just wanted to make a half arsed reply to the oldest thread in the section and whatday know, i actually had something somewhat intelligent to say!

 

 

What is that? Ponch? Eric Estrada with a pick?


That avatar's cool moneyman.

ok, since you don't even have the avatar you originally posted this topic for I have decided to move this to the Off-Topic chatter section.

Don't worry. The resident schizophrenics won't know the difference.
