March of the tripods part one

There is no natural reference from which to create a walking tripod, at least not on this world, so reference is a difficult thing. It's all in the mind and every adaption of this story has it's own way of walking. I personally am looking at a fluid, natural motion, almost graceful and animal like in it's movements, and the only way to achieve this is by trial and error. Rigging was the easy part, as really the tripod is the simplest of all the models for this production, animation however, well the next post will show the trial and error and you can judge for yourself
