Watch it with the S O U N D 🔊 This was my K-N-E-E 🙊 ❓This is the most common question I get asked by my clients, 'My knees crackle, pop or snap, should I stop exercising⁉️' It could be ligaments and tendons catching over bony lump and snap back into place or bubbles of joint fluid. If no pain, or swelling - carry on exercising. Orherwise - see a medical consultant. #knees #kneepop #kneeinjury #joints #thaimassage #ligaments #tendons #muscles #softtissue (at Bodywise Gym & Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1qsBlhHqSo/?igshid=8ayva0qk9wte

Walk Cycle Attempt 01

This was my first attempt at a walk cycle using the Malcolm Rig.

My feedback for improvement was on the knees popping on the forward step of the character and the over drag of the arms on the return swing forward, a little too exaggerated for the slow enough pace the character appears to be walking.

When I came to fixing these points I was advised the knee pop could be due to the foot being placed too far forward causing the legs to shoot out straight very quickly in order to make up the distance over the frames. However, I instead found the knee pop was due to the fact the main foot control, which affects the whole leg, was making a drastic shift in rotation between frames when shifting from the leg back to leg forward pose. by bringing the rotation midway for the mid crossover pose and then adding an additional key frame where the pop was occuring I managed to lessen the appearance of the knee popping back.
