I need help with animating a walk cycle

Question

    I have a person created and have a script that helps everything move right I am just having trouble getting the walk cycle to look and act properly. I want to use the loopOut expression to use this composition in another movie. Any help offerend would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Mylenium is correct, I've animated quite a few walk cycles in various different techniques and all I can say is that each technique is so radically different it really just depends on how and what you're trying to achieve.  Not only that, the quality of the movement in the animation itself so much depends on the feeling and story you're trying to get across.  What looks wrong to someone, might look right to someone else.  You might want a totally weird walk cycle for your character becuase that might tell the audience something completely different about who and what they are.  Without seeing anything there's no possible way to advise.  In the meantime, I highly recommend looking at a hand-drawn film from 1978 called "Satiemania" by Zdenko Gasparovic.  The beginning is all walk cycles of different types and I think it could be inspiring for any character animator who's interested in animating walk cycles.
