Aiko 3 Exaggerated Sidekick

digitani

Hey all,

I wanted to show off my animation of Aiko 3 sidekicking Hiro 3. Its an exaggerated sidekick, like you might see in a cartoon. Hiro goes flying and hits the ground hard. I'm proud of my final product. I keyframed Aiko's kick and Hiro flying through the air. I ran a simulation in Poser Physics to achieve a nice effect when Hiro hits the ground. I think it all works together well, and that was the point of my exercise, to figure out how to combine those techniques together to produce a nice effect.

Please check it out and let me know what you think:

Yes, I agree it works, and better than Poser Physics by itself (although its a good tool to have, as you demonstrate).
