CyBear posts a look at using cMotion in Cinema 4D to create a useable walk cycle. There are a number of things that have to be taken into consideration to make a character move, let alone a usable and flexible walk cycle.
how cMotion can help you to create a walk cycle for a character.
Here, CyBear covers how cMotion can help you create a walk cycle for a character, that starts off with the basics. Expanding on the walk cycle, the tutorial moves on to show how you can use cMotion for more complex character driven animation with IK. The last part shows how you can get cMotion to stop cycling via a little workaround — Motion Clips.
cMotion is Cinema 4d’s Parametric walk system, that allows you to apply a preset walk to your character object rigs. With cMotion, characters can walk along a line or follow a spline, keeping the right direction and even interacting with the underlying surface.
