A Tipsy Adventure – vtavarez

For this piece, I wanted to use the walking animation that we used in a previous assignment to take our walker on an adventure. I decided to make the figures of this adventure and was happy to figure out a way to make it seem like it is going really slow. There are times where he randomly disappears as everything else in this piece seemingly fades away. It was difficult to figure out the mechanics to making the looping work, but once I did I was able to apply it to the two main objects that I created. I was hoping to get the character to move around like a game but didn’t get that far. Maybe next time I will get it.
