Proton: Assignment: 26

This is the assignment all animators start on, everyone will start with a walk cycle with the chosen rigs: Generic Zombie Male OR Generic Zombie Female. Once your first cycle has been approved you will be able to choose a scene to animate on, do another generic zombie walk cycle or if they are still available do a walk cycle with one of five special zombie rigs.

There are a total of 60 zombies to be referenced into shot 26. There will be a total of 20 unique generic zombie walk cycles which are then offset and distributed among 55 of the zombies then referenced into the scene. There will also be 5 unique zombies that use unique design.

Use the instructions given under direction, when submitting work upload it to vimeo, and either post a link to it here or send it to my email down below.

Direction:

- So far there will be no interactions amongst the zombies they will all just be walking side by side
- These Zombies walk very, very slowly, they have little to no energy, lots of limping and tardiness
- Feel free to break as many bones as you want, limited customization of the generic zombies are allowed, the special zombies, however, are not to be customized
- Avoid extreme translation in (x) to avoid the zombies geometry crashing into other zombies (generic zombies only)

- The generic rigs can be scaled down, but not by much, it cannot be scaled up

- Name your file "Zombie_Cycle_(name)" remove the brackets and put your name where "(name)" is

This is about the speed the zombie should be moving at, they can go slower than this but not faster:

Here is an example of how I would like you to stage your cycle for critiques on Saturdays:
