Great points from both Adrian and T there.
It’s great that you are looking at reference Puddles – keep doing that!
Every walk is going to be different.
But one thing that happens when someone walks is that when the leg is straight (around the passing position) the hip pushes up on that side (by push I technically mean rotation). So even though the leg is straight, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the highest point in a walk.
This hip rotation is counter intuitive to what you would expect. You would think because the non loaded side is swinging through it would go higher, but no. Human locomotion is lazy….I mean efficient. Fun fact – chimpanzees actually raise the non loaded hip when they walk….same with young humans, but that changes as their brains learn more efficient locomotion…..that’s humans, not the other apes)
Anyway, I hope this gives you some food for thought.
But at the end of the day, it’s about how your pixels move. Your animation is going to be different to mine, but at the end of the day it’s about ‘if we pushed this part this way it would look better’
