Hello world!
I'm talking about a program
that has Loki waving.
I would like to point out a few details about this,
because in the next video,
were going to make a procedure
with Loki waving.
So it's important to understand what we have here
to start with.
I've written code for Loki.
I would like to have other bipeds wave.
And,  a human is a little more difficult to do
because we have an idea
about what people look like when they're waving.
It's a little easier to make a cat wave because
It'll look okay we don't really care
that it doesn't look exactly like a cat
because we don't see cats waving that often.
First of all,
I have used variables
where ever possible
That makes it a little easier to adjust it. For instance,
you can see the amount to turn the shoulder
is used in a few places
and if we had that one place it's easier to work with.
the same with the amount to turn the elbow,  the amount to turn the wrist
and the speed that we want to wave at.
I've also added comments,
makes it a little easier to understand the code that were using.
Use doTogether:
We want to raise the arm into the waving position.
We are turning the shoulder,
the elbow, and the wrist.
You might play around with that.
Practice waving, do it in front of the mirror,
and see what joints you're using when you do some action
that you would like to animate.
Next, I'm going to wave by moving the elbow back and forth.
This is a vigorous wave.  You could also do that
by using the wrist.
We have three times we turned the elbow
backward and then forward
using the variable amountTurnWrist
and I used an animation style
begin and end abruptly and the amount
the duration is the speed to wave.  If you go back there
you can see speedToWave is .25
and then we put the arm back down.
and I really just copied this to the clipboard
and pasted it
and where it said left I changed it to right.
and it's a good idea to end an animation
back where you started so that the next action
may depend on him being in that starting position
and that's it for now,  be sure to watch the next video.
