Squirrel Idle Animation

Continuing with the Alive! animation course, I've now created an idle animation for the squirrel character as a follow up to the run cycle. To clarify, the model/rig was provided by the course.

This animation has much more emphasis on subtle movements and smooth transitions between each key pose. I gained a lot of satisfaction refining the animation arcs in the front legs and adding some follow-through animation to the ears and nose.

I'm becoming a lot more comfortable utilising the graph editors to tweak my animations, and I look forward to refining my animation skills further. The next animation on the course I plan to do is the climbing animation for the squirrel.
