What you'll learn

In this series of tutorials, you will learn how to create a walk cycle in MotionBuilder. One step at a time, we'll dissect the body mechanics of a walk. We'll learn the key positions of a walk, we'll learn how to use MotionBuilder's Pose Controls to build a cycle in a fraction of the time it would normally take. We'll learn how to create seamless cycles, explore ways to add convincing follow-through and weight, and also learn a technique for translating a cycle forward through space. In the end, you'll understand how to produce a walk that is natural, and that has a little personality. Software required: MotionBuilder 2012.
