Question

Help creating walk cycle for Ramirez Puppet

Hi - Trying to practice creating a walk cycle with the Ramirez Puppet. I've followed the videos (created the walk behavior + tagged the body parts), but can't seem to get it to work. I've also tried with Wilk with no luck. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if these characters don't have the right attributes to execute a successful walk cycle (i.e., legs are too short?)?

Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Yeah, Ramirez was made before the walk cycle and probably not the best example of this (short feet, no knees, 3/4 view character, etc). Wilk is a little better but was also made before Walk. Walkbot from the Start panel is undoubtedly the best example to look at, and we have a few other examples like Maddie from http://adobe.com/go/chexamples and Evans and Acquavella from http://okaysamurai.com/puppets/. I would say the best characters are ones with clear independent legs and arms, and are in a profile view - unfortunately that won't apply to all puppets. In the future we hope to expand Walk to work with more characters.
