Dear Diary



I have been working with this rig called the Norman rig its the one pixar use in its training classes. Also you can get it of the 11 second club. I am going to use this one for my action sequence, how ever im having some slight issues with its movement being jerky because i am using fk leg's which means in this case i can only move the leg's by positioning the feet. So this is a bit twichy because i need to speak with one of my tutors when we get them about how to mix ik and fk controle's, With the IK i can use knee pivot's and rotate the leg's from the hips knee's and ankle, but with fk i can only rotate the feet and position them. 

Also their is some really anoying twich or some thing in the upper torso that i cant seem to find right now that makes it kind of twich at some point when he is running. i think may be down to the spacing of my key frames on the upper body motion. So i am going to have to do a trial and error process by deleting keys.

In general i think the spacing is off in this, and spacing the keys out is going to be a head ake i might just scrap it and start again. I did have more than this i had him running up a pillar but i edited the color of the model and accidently screwed up the eye mouth teeth textures and wasnt able to return them to the default so i just scrapped it and went back to a earlier version. 

This are some still frames from ones i messed up yay. 

[I think a issue with the speed  i had it set to the wrong fps, i had 24fps not 30fps im not to sure bla bla *wonders off*]

Ok here's an updated version on the animation running at 30fps, and you can see some of the issues i spoke about if you pay close attention to his knee's when he jumps on the pillar, and yes i need to work more on his jump.
