The Quadruped Run Cycle: week 2

My pony run cycle

Creating the galloping cycle was more complicated for me than walk cycle. The body of the pony is constantly moving, so it was a challenge to present it in the correct way so it could show how much effort the animal puts into running.

The main reference was example from Richard Williams book.

Also this video reference with stop motion of the run was helpful.
