Re: A little rigging help!?
That sounds more like a gimbal issue with the upper arm itself. Certainly an issue I've run into with joints built in the traditional T-pose. In Max at least, leaving the standard rotation order of XYZ leads to gimbal lock by simply rotating the arms down. But switching the order to XZY at least avoids gimbal lock in that… -

Mera Rig Showcase

Re: Walk Cycles progress [feedback appreciated]
Hips and spine: Hips trajectory will kinda look like an infinity symbol, that's something to keep in mind. Try to think about your squash and stretch on the spine. When weight falls on the leg, let's say the left leg, then the left hip will rise and the left shoulder will compress down. Do a google search on Contrapposto… -

Normally you're topology and portions should be pretty set before animating and there shouldn't be too much back and forth, thats not to say it isn't flexible and can't be changed but its not really open to constant broad sweeping changes. Some…
