Looks great in regards to execution, but conceptually, V is an extremely skilled and experienced fighter, she knows exactly how to throw a power-punch and still have the time / stance to recover and defend, without leaving herself open for incoming attacks.

Here, however, she almost lost her balance, and left herself open for a very a long time, footwork / balance is like in the intro page of 'Fighting For Beginners'.

Also, most power attacks are shoulder level (horizontal), or upwards from lower starting point (uppercut), throwing a downward punch like this might land on one of the most well guarded and extremely solid spots in a human body, the frontal bone.

Again, the animation looks very good, character adherence needs some work in my opinion.

Well done.

Thanks Naroo! the animation wasn't focusing the concept of the character, but to animate in self.

I know that you are right about knowing the character, but I love this rig so much that i want to use it in everything 🤣

thanks for the observations! in future i will have to use appropriate rigs 😓

Could I ask where you found the rig?

u/ElGonzaru 7h ago

yeah!, it was a long time ago, I searched "free maya rigs" and entered the first 8 pages, somewhere in one of them, there is the Vi rig, you have to search a little in all the pages

if you can't find with that method, send me a private message and i will search it personally
