Quadruped Dog Run Cycle

Run Cycle

Project Details

I really enjoyed diving into new anatomy and body mechanics, and studying reference material was incredibly helpful.

I’m really happy with how the run turned out, you can clearly feel the speed and the weight of the dog.

TOOLS:

Moho Pro

Rig:

Animation:

Behind The Scenes

I used various references to create this run cycle, but my primary source was real dogs due to the fast pace of the animation. I discovered that real-life references provide more detail than animated ones, particularly in capturing the sense of speed and the space the dog covers.
