I made a 2 legged robot and gave him/her a walkcycle. For some reason I can’t find any info on moving the walking character around on a plane etc. so it looks like the feet are planted and moving the character forward. Is there a decent tutorial on this out there somewhere?
thanks!
I don’t have blender open in front of me but i’m pretty sure that you need to:
create a path
make sure you are in object mode
select object you want to animate (in this case I think you should use the Armature itself)
then Shft-Select the Path
Ctrl-P >> Follow Path.
You may need to tinker with path properties/walk cycle to get the movement in sync with the walk cycle
There is a good tutorial on character animation here (although blender.org appears to be down at the moment)
