From walkcycle to walk forward
-
29 Nov 2009I did a walk cycle for my elf character but when I have him walk forward I can see his feet sort of slipping.
Does anyone have any advice for correcting this?
Here's a vid test:

29 Nov 2009hi joe007,
When that happens it means the rate your character is moving forward doesn't match up with how fast his legs are moving. It's one of the tricks to a walk cycle, getting this movement-to-step ratio correct. Play around with the translation of the hips and feet to get it working without slip. -
29 Nov 2009Thanks JayG. I'll keep working on it.

03 Dec 2009OK New question. I want the elf to carry these christmas lights AND have them drag on the ground.
ATM he's carrying but the lights aren't dragging. How do I link this to do both?
Here's a vid of where I'm at so far.

i take it the rope is soild geometry? I would have used a reactor rope and attached the lights are rigid body objects. -
07 Dec 2009Thanks iwkya. I've never used reactor rope but I'll check it out.

08 Dec 2009Otherwise you'd have to rig up the rope and lights and animate them each individually. Reactor/Dynamics are perfect for this type of thing.
