Thank you very much for this excellent work. It is useful to me as a veterinarian in demonstrating motion of the scapula during normal ambulation and the need for immobilization while healing from fracture. Invaluable. The best illustration I have found for my need.
Thank you very much. We did all these animations for this book, which includes over 50 animations: www.amazon.de/Dogs-Motion-Fischer-2016-02-24/dp/B01K3LMHW4
Thank you for posting this!!!! Wonderful work!!! It's great that you show where the feet contact the ground from the front and rear views. They seem to come in towards the sagittal plane. Am I correct? Also, I'm not sure how much post-processing your animator did in the graph editor; but you really got a great feeling of weight and mass.
Thank you very much. Actually me and Jonas Lauströer are the animators and the animation is a mixture of motion capturing of the dogs and some adjustments with the help of the X-ray. The Animations are part of this book: www.amazon.de/Dogs-Motion-Fischer-2016-02-24/dp/B01K3LMHW4
I agree Angie. It’s to bad they didn’t use a dog that was better put together so the movement is more correct. There’s a huge difference between dogs that just don’t move well and dogs that do. A dog that moved well would look completely different from this video. It just all depends on how they’re put together. This dogs feet at the trot have terrible timing. He’s over reaching therefore he has to do one of three things: move wide in front (the back feet will reach between the front), move wide in the rear ( the back feet will separate more and allow the front to move between them) or sidewind (one rear foot will move in the middle between the front feet and the other rear foot will move outside of a front foot) to be able to get out of its own way (so his feet don’t hit each other).
Hi Sarah, thank you for your opinion. The movement were captured with motion capturing cameras. The dogs were selected by scientists and german candle club. The skeleton and muscles are CT scans and 3D reconstructions. All these data were gathered over ten years of research in university of Jena and we worked two years on these animations with the specialists on this field of research. So if you think there is something wrong with the movments, you might want to contact Prof. Dr. Martin Fischer. He probably can answer your questions better than I ever could.
Hi Nuria, thank you and happy to hear that you like our animation. To answer your question, I'm not the only copyright owner for this animation. My Colleagues Jonas Lauströer and Prof. Dr. Martin S. Fischer and German kennel Club VDH are also the copyright owners and everybody have to agree and probabely there will be some fees for the usage rights.
