  • Hi guys, in this After Effects tutorial, I’m going to talk about character animation and how to create a walk cycle animation.

    Brand new to animation and duik but slowly fighting through! How do u get the feet and hands to move with the rig and have the feet stop at the contact line like your rig (min 1:59)? When I applied auto-rig, the feet and hands stayed fixed while I moved the body controller. The only way for me to have the feet and hands move with the body controller is to apply position keyframes to the leg controller :(

    The expression used to loop paths:
    👇👇
    if (numKeys >1 && time > key(numKeys).time) {
    t1 = key(1).time;
    t2 = key(numKeys).time;
    span = t2 - t1;
    delta = time - t2;
    t = delta%span;
    valueAtTime(t1 + t)
    } else {
    value

      Since my training is a series, I didn't say it in this video, I explained it in detail in the 'walk cycle animation in front view'.
      czcams.com/video/UaWq3cEzrKc/video.html
      But briefly, a walking cycle happens in 24 frames and has 9 main poses (9 markers), the distance between each pose being 3 frames.

      I think you didn't rig your character, first, you should rig your character and then animate it. At the beginning of the video, I told which video you must watch to learn how to rig the character.

    instead of moving the background, I needed to move the character, and it sliding like crazy, do you have any tips on how to solve this!?

    • @JafarFazel
      @JafarFazel  Před rokem

      Hello, it's difficult to explain as a text but I'll try.
      Take a picture of the character in the contact pose and repeat it for the number of steps, so that the back leg of the second picture is in the place where the front leg of the first picture is, and also all the steps should be specified firstly and then the character should be animated according to the pictures. I hope you understand.

    • @JafarFazel

      Create a 'null object' then hold 'Shift' button and parent it to the 'body controller' so that the 'Null' snaps to the 'body controller' anchor point.
      Then unparent the 'Null' and then parent the 'body controller' to the 'Null object' and finally animate the X position of the 'Null' to move the character.
