Hi people,
Here's an animation test i'm working on at the moment, he's a low-poly character (2,293 polys) doing a run & jump.
I'm fairly happy with the run but would like some help with the jump, i'm not sure about weighting at take off, any help would be cool, Thanks

James.

that is really good, especially the run cycle

however i do think he comes down to the ground a bit to suddenly

Thanks,

Thanks Kal, i've just finished doing some tweaking, i've slowed the jump down abit and reduced the head movement, not sure if i've over worked it or not? see what you think.
