Problem with Malcolm's walk cycle
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2013 8:42 pm
Hello,
I've received great tips on the Malcolm rig from here before, and I'm back with another question I was hoping someone might be able to help me rectify.
I created a simple walk for Malcolm (2 steps) and want it to cycle, moving Malcolm forward. I've gone into Maya's Graph Editor after selecting the keyframed controls and set curves to "cycle with offset" for pre- and post-infinity. Malcolm continues moving forward, but the legs begin to twist in weird ways that are not at all like I animated!
I know this is probably near impossible to diagnose without any visuals...I wish I could upload a file or something. Perhaps I'll try playblasting the issue (saving playblasts has been tricky for me, but I'll give it a shot) and upload it so that I can add a link to this thread.
Any tips would be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance
