petokosun Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 i explain again . i am animating a character, after animating for some time say 3mins i made my character stand up , them i made a walk cycle in the action window, my question is how can i now put this walking action to the already animated charater. i have already tried adding a path, constraining my character to the path and draging and droping my created walk cycle. this is to no effect, please any one has a solution.

KenH Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 This is quite an indepth subject that needs knowledge in different areas.....alot of which is in the manual exercises. But to put it briefly: In the timeline you need to click on the "Channel mode" button (see attached image). Then beside your action name, you'll see see a red bar that represents the length, start and end times of your action. From what you say, it seems that the red bar for your action is starting at the wrong time. You'll need to click the red bar and drag it to the time you want it to start.

KenH Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 You may have to select the action and increase its repeat option in its properties. If that doesn't do it, I'd need a screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petokosun Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 yes, do u want me to render it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterFunk Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It might be the path ease. you need to set the ease to 0% when the walk starts and 100% when it finishes. Also you might need to set the path constraint to 0 untill you want the character to follow the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
