Walking Cycle

lDesign

The problem with make keys poses according to walk cycle breakdown was that either the transformation of the movement was drastically shifted between two key poses, or the movement changed too fast due to the short interval between each two key frames.

Hence, the way of walk cycle is set 3 character start action as key pose with key frames, the first pose is same as the last pose while the second pose is opposite to them . After the transition motion making automatically, choose frames to make pose and set it as a key frame. When a complete walking course finished, the course will be set as a loop.

lProcess

1. I added textures to character model

2. Split the character model into three layers, head, body and legs by selecting -> layering. Also, set the head and body layers to invisible.

3. At frame 0, set up the starting movement. Then, at frame 16, the setup parameters for the left and right legs of the start are switched and adjusted. Then, at frame 32, set the start motion to frame 0.

4. When setting the key pose, the transition position between two frames will automatically generate the corresponding action, so the key pose between frame 0 and frame 16 can be added and debugged accordingly after the transition action is generated.

5. Select the animation controller that has been adjusted, and click Window-> Animation Editors-> Graph Editor in the menu bar. at this time, the motion change curve between key frames on the controller has been displayed on it, and adjust the slope of the curve to make the overall motion smooth.

6. During this time, select all the key frames of all the curves, and click Curves-> Post Infinity in the Graph Editor menu bar to set the whole action to loop.
