Deer Walk Cycle Animation
This animation was created in Maya, focusing on creating a smooth and natural walk cycle for the deer. I utilized animation layers to refine the subtle head movements and ear twitches, bringing more life to the model. Reference images were used to ensure accurate body mechanics and posture.
