New Default Running Animation - Head looks left the entire time

Hi, I’m not usually OCD but this bothers me more than it should.

This questions the new Roblox default running animation. Just a minor visual oversight!

Notice my helmet is perfectly straight in this photo taken from behind

When I start running in this .gif you can see that my head is looking slightly to the left the entire time:

The head should either stay perfectly straight or bob equally from left to right unless our avatars have scoliosis.

(btw love that form, feels like Usain Bolt)

These were motion captured, so I believe that no matter how their captured, a person’s head will always be tilted even by an inch in a direction.

That animation felt tilted to me too, I hope it gets fixed.

Please fix this too:

I actually really really really like this new animation, it just looks a lot more realistic.

Been waiting for them to update it for a while and they did, good job!

I’m not following your logic there.
Mocap or not, the keyframes can be edited.

I didn’t intend to say that they’ll stay there, just meant to introduce that without any further edits, the raw capture will always stay slightly uneven. Of course, they can manually adjust the head’s position so that it stays at the middle.

Aside from that, I don’t think that this is unnatural, aren’t most animations not symmetrical. Wether the alternative idle looking sideways, or a foot stepping out, etc. The twist may be kinda annoying, but it is a mocap capture (the animation pack also used to be called the mocap animation pack).

Considering it’s always playing for hundreds of thousands of people at a given time, in my opinion it should be edited so that the head is symmetrical, yes. Just a polish thing.

The asymmetries in one-off animations don’t bug me too much because I usually don’t have to stare at them for very long.

They still haven’t fixed the R6 animation R6 Walk Animation

Sorry to bump this trend. But aren’t the new default animations from the Rthro Animation Package? Run, Walk, SwimIdle, and Swim were all replaced with Rthro Animations.
