Walk Cycle

[flashawd]

Hi - I am creating a walk cycle for a character and I have the first pose at 00:00:00 - I am trying to "copy frame" and "paste mirrored" into frame 00:20:00. For some reason it isn't pasting the "hips" and "pelvis" movement. Has anyone run into this problem - where it didn't copy the whole keyframe - that can let me know what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks - Eric

One possibility is that your character's hip and pelvis bones aren't exactly on x=0 in the model. Make sure both origin and tip are centered.

Thank you - I'll check it out. ;-)

Hmm. I have the same problem, but other things I mirror and paste aren't anywhere near x=0. Maybe others are as confused about this as I am?

by design, A:M only considers bones for mirroring that either are labeled "left" or "right" (like arm and leg bones) or bones that are very close to x=0 (like spine and neck bones).
