Motion Bullder Walk Cycles

[user_deleted]

Hey guys,

Does motion builder have built in walkcycles within the software. Ideally i want to create a small group of characters walking around at different speeds, perhaps stopping and looking around. To achieve this I want to avoid as much key animation as possible, unless its for more custom type moves other than a standard walk cycle.

When I say built in similar to character studio in 3dsmax?

Hi,

Motionbuilder has lots of Mocap walk cycles that you can combine and edit. Have a look at the Autodesk/Alias website for some quicktime tutorials.
Cheers!

Ive had a look, thing is I can only see two standard walk cycles, one slow one and and normal walk for a male. Are there more standard walk cycles availble, or more samples clips to download from the autodesk/alias site?

I was thinking about creating a walkcycle repository when we build out the motion builder section. Do you guys think we would get uploads?

I'd upload a couple.

And here is a page that has links to tons:

Im doing a scene for a visulisation involcing 10 characters, all the characters have standard walk cycles. There is a mix of men and women, I want then to move on a non linear path. Im using clips of walk cyclse to drive their motion, but am trying to work out a way fo them to move around the scene. I have tried keyframing their reference node but they slide all over the scene.

How do you move a character along a non-linaer specifed path, without having then slip and slide around the place. I have used path animation constraint but this has the same results as keyframing. As the path/direction I want them to move along is more s shae when you look at it on the ground.

Thanks in advance.
