Hey all, im lookin for a good reference sheet/clip/whatever that is good for an animation Noob.

Need to create a jumping Cycle.

Also, when creating a jump should you have forward motion? or is there something like the ‘Stride’ function for that in blender?

Thanks
Josh

It’s not that hard to create a simple jump cycle. It’s mostly lowering the pelvis down, raising it back up and moving the Master bone along with the feet. Then planting them back down again. To jump forward, parent the master bone to a path and animate it that way.
