Procedural Animal Gait

This is the final compile. The working tool is visualized by the four feet shapes, and a slider at the top that shows how fast the animal is running.

These are gait chart studies for the rhino. The rhino trots with symmetry, and a rotatory run.

Rhino trotting reference. Unfortunately the original video was removed from YouTube, so I am unable to refer to an original capturer/creator.

Procedural Animal Gait

For this project I created a procedural gait tool that can be altered to match any animal. I used Maya MEL and Python for this tool, and to present the tool I chose to focus on the gait of a rhino, with a visualized slider in blue.

Video reference of the running rhino can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQmEycHvMG/?igshid=uh7zwgxwb02d
