@Akindeji Adesokan we decided to do it like this because having the step by step was taking too long to do (the biped was a shorter animation), so it will be more boring

*@Gemma Maria Rull* Maybe! but I won't make the video reference for that xD

*@stukove* Hi, We have some more animation tutorial that we wanna do, in the future we will make some tutorials about how to animate a shot.

when ca we expect them? *@pablofurni*

*@Talhat J* not sure! we are a bit busy right now

*@Cédric Born* Hi!! We usually do the walk cycles in preproduction to define how the character is going to move and later use them as reference. In my workflow I use the walk cycle as a guide, to see the main key poses, but in a real scene I don't use them, I animate all from scratch, because of what you said, there is different rhythms and I feel more comfortable animating it by myself. I only use them if the shot it is a simple walk that doesn't require changes, in that case can be useful.

But in case you want to use the walk cycle in a scene there are two ways.

1. you make the walk cycle moving forward, repeat the cycle by setting the keyframe extrapolation (shift+E in the graph editor with the moving forward curve in the pelvis, feet and hands if they are in IK) and later putting in the modifier cycles the before and after as repeat with offset. This works only to repeat the cycle without any change in rhythm.

If you want to change the rhythm you need to copy and paste and manually adjust the curves to be repeating until you want to change and animate it.

2. you make the walk cycle in place and you move the root, in this case is ok to move the root.

All depends of the needs of the shot

In the video, the root is the pelvis control, usually is call root also and the big controller on the floor can be called master, just different ways to name the bones, but in this case I'm 100% sure he is talking about the control that move all the torso.

Hope this helps you a bit xD

*@pablofurni* wonderful, Thanks for the explanation. Now I think I get it.

*@Diaa Homsy* Hi!! we are going to have something rig related soon, but it will be more like a breakdown, but i think not a full rig tutorial at the moment.

@Akindeji Adesokan for the moment we have this on hold, we are busy with the sprites project

@randimby01 Hi!! Glad you like the tutorials! the rig is a simple custom rig with bones, nothing really complicated

@MrTako is there any plans to make another series with a higher level of difficulties? Acting , pantomime more complex and else?

@MrTako At the moment we don't, we are busy with the Sprite's project

@lamcilaktheo thanks for the feedback, if we go back making more videos we will keep it in mind

@Theeverflare you can do both, depends of the moment, i always try to create a visual delay already on the pose, and later maybe i will delay it 1 fr if i feel is needed.

@Pablo Fournier Cool, just need to confirm it. Thanks.
