Beg

An animal on four legs sits up and begs: up on its haunches, front paws folded in front of its chest, nose up, bobbing hopefully.

What it is for

A dog asking for a treat, a dog dancing to the music. It is what Sway plays on four legs.

The principle it shows: up on the haunches

Begging is sitting turned further: the body tips up about the back legs until it is upright, the front legs fold in at the elbow and the paws fold down at the wrist, and the nose points up at you. A little bob keeps it alive.

• 0 s — the body up 0, the body forward 0, torso 0, front legs 0, forearms 0, hands 0, back legs 0, shins 0, head 0, tail 0, the face happy.
• 0.5 s — torso 62, the body up 6, the body forward -8, front legs 60, forearms 70, hands 60, back legs 20, shins 20, head -40, tail 20.
• 0.75 s — the body up 12, the body forward -8, torso 66, head -44, tail 20 out 40.
• 1 s — the body up 6, the body forward -8, torso 62, head -40, tail 20 out -40.
• 1.25 s — the body up 12, the body forward -8, torso 66, head -44, tail 20 out 40.
• 1.5 s — the body up 6, the body forward -8, torso 62, head -40, tail 20 out -40.

Try this

1. Take 0.4 s over its first change instead of 0.25 s: a slower beg.

   In the program: ramp · over 0.25 → 0.4

2. Sink the body to -48.7 instead of -37.5: a lower beg.

   In the program: ramp · to.dy -37.5 → -48.7

How it differs from the others

Sit (four legs) keeps the front paws on the ground; Paw wave lifts one paw.
