Tutorials LightWave 3D Animation Basics: Walk Cycle in Minutes Walk_title

I just recently learned a new
technique for setting up a walk cycle during
my visit to Mexico City and thought I would share
it with everyone. Although this sample was created
in LightWave 3D 7.5, the same technique can be
used for any 3D program. The video shows the
entire process played back at twice the speed
it was created. Here are a few key elements to
remember:

Complete walk cycle frames:0-36
Frame 0 and 36 are the same
Frame 18 is the exact opposite of frame 0/36
Frames 9 and 27 are opposite of each other

Check out the animation
video:
(Both files are
the same)

MOV -
3.28 MB

AVI -
31.8 MB

This should get you started
on a good walk cycle but is by no means a final
animation. Be sure to add more detail to the
walk to improve the motions. Good Luck and see
you on the forums!
