Horse Gallop Animation

For my sixth animation (unit 4) I returned to the horse using the same rig from last time (by MothmanTD). This task was to create a galloping horse. As it was similar to the trotting horse, I was able to complete it fairly quickly.

As with the previous horse animation I struggled with the tail and so will revisit this in the future once I have a better understanding of the techinques involved. I believe that certain aspects of the animation still need refining to make the movements more pleasing to the eye.

Its possible that the instructions on how to properly animate the tail are included in ‘part 5’ of these tutorials. However, ‘part 5’ repeats ‘part 1’.
