A quick 6 second animation using Max, with my inspiration coming from The Matrix. There was no real reference or planning involved with the piece, this is bad practise I know but I just wanted to get used to using him before moving on to something more accurate and elaborate.
Animated in Maya, rendered using Mental Ray. Max rig obtained from [link]
One thing I would pay attention is pose, he looks practically weightless. I think maybe adjusting the lowerbody to give the illusion of balance(weight distribution) would make it look great. Otherwise nice job.
That's a fair point. I'll have another go. I've "actually" looked at the matrix bullet time screen where Neo is dodging the bullets and straight away i've noticed that his stance is wrong. The biggest thing i've noticed is that Neo bends at his knees when he goes down.
