want a tip?
film youself (or someone else) doing stuff, and use that as reference.
that's how almost all character animations are researched.
i've got loads of stuff, most of wich i shot at Judo.
it's good to have reference.

Yes, I might do that in the future, but I do try to mimic some things myself to see if things move natural (lawl, I can totally see myself climbing out of a pod)
Also, fixed, and better (imo) though still not complete
videogoogle again, only because the processing is faster than youtube but butchers quality.

He isn't moving powerfully or quickly enough tbh, and it isn't that smooth at times. I've got to give you credit though, TP animating is a LOT different than FP animating, and I suck at it myself :gonk:. Anyway, yeah, make his movements seem more powerful and some of it needs to be quicker. Also, the landing is awkward... it's like he hadn't jumped at all.
As in, he needs to have a stronger push motion carrying himself out of the pod?
Yes, and his arms need to move quicker, and his legs need to be more reactive.
seriously, go film yourself. there's nothing to be ashamed of.
i used to be embarrassed when i went to junkjards to take reference photos.
i was like oh hey can i walk around your junkyard? i'm a 3d artist.
if you feel embarassed by filming yourself, don't be, you can do it when nobody is watching, and you dont have to show anyone.
trust me, your animations will make a big jump, and look FAR more natural if you just get the speeds and physics stuff right.
Nono, I've done more emberassing things in my life (Like a german rap... It was for school, so I can't take the blame) but I don't have a good camera... But I think my digital cam has a filming option.
if it can film, digitally, it's fine
you only need to be able to make out the movements, not make a five star movie with it.
