Character Walk Cycle

Female Character Walk Cycle (Perspective Front View at 720p60)

Female 3D digital character walk cycle animation displayed as a perspective front view of the 3D model of the character. A traditional Hollywood three point lighting scheme is used.

The color images were rendered at the high definition resolution of 1280x720 pixels at 60 fps (frames per second). The MP4 video was uploaded to Youtube after encoding with minimal compression. This enables the HD video to be viewed at up to 720p60 (i.e. 720p at 60 fps) on Youtube so that the 3D graphics can be displayed without compromise.

How do you like?

3D Digital Character Model Viewing Options

To view the 720p version at 60 fps, please use the Chrome web browser or Firefox web browser. Tested on both Chrome and Firefox browsers and should be viewable in HTML5 player without need for Adobe plugin for Firefox.

Female Character Walk Cycle

Female 3D Character Walk Cycle (Perspective Front View)

Female 3D character walk cycle animation viewed from the front of the 3D character model using classic Hollywood three point lighting scheme. This video was captured (as a compromise) at 480p60 for Youtube so that both the 3D graphics and 2D motion graphics can be displayed without distortions.

3D Character Model Viewing Options

To view the 480p version, please use the Chrome web browser. If you prefer the Firefox web browser with HTML5 video, you may probably only be able to view a 360p version; to view the 480p version you may need to change your default video player to the Adobe Flash player plugin for Firefox.

3D Character Idle Animation

This 3D character idle animation should be displayable at 720p and 60fps (frames per second) on Youtube unlike my other recent Female Character Idle Animation video which showed 480p HD setting.

How do you like?

Do you observe any difference?

Technical Details

The previous video seem to display only up to 480p on Youtube (for some technical reasons which I know but my software / hardware has certain constraints). So I did some trickery - I supersampled the 3D graphics scene in the GPU which enabled the 3D graphics to display up to 720p. However, you may notice that the 2D graphics is subsampled.

Female Character Idle Animation

Female 3D character idle animation using classic Hollywood three point lighting scheme is shown in the video. The key light is illuminating from the character's front right and above. The fill light at the character's front left has a light blue tint. The rim light or back light has a tinted color as well.

Update

To view the 720p version, please check out 3D Character Idle Animation video.
