Re: Looking for rigging/animation solution w/built in walking/running customization and rapid animation.
Too right mate. You almost have to enter another zone in your brain! :smile: A lot of fun though when it comes together. Yes, I defo think mocap is the way to go. -
Looking for rigging/animation solution w/built in walking/running customization and rapid animation.
I've been using 3D Studio Max Cat Rig and it's a god damn nightmare. Customizing the CATMotion walking layer is just too painful. Could we create a list of some top tier applications that make animation/rigging a breeze? Something with built in walking/running functionality with customization options? -

Maybe your process is wrong and that's why it's such a pain for you. An animator friend told me to make the few most important poses first and gradually refine the walk going bottom to top, I found that to be very helpful. -

"Make Awesome" button, where are you? :p From what I've heard CAT isn't used that often because AD have essentially abandoned it, and it has a number of very deep issues that aren't that apparent when first using it. The Biped system though is still very solid, but if you want something better then that you're best bet is… -

There's tons of free MOCAP walk cycles around I guess. Yea animation is not something for the faint of heart, it's soooo hard :smiley: -

Yes, thesee are the 'golden poses' or extremes, then you have the breakdowns, inbetweens, and finally animating on 1s or 2s. (Essentially straight ahead animation)Also, everyone has their own method and it takes a long time and a LOT of practice to begin to refine a workflow. Some people even hide everything but the hips,… -

Apart from biped and cat I don't know of any for Max. If you're going to forgo hand animation entirely then maybe you should look into mocap. -

I want to avoid mocap clean up at all costs. I'm going to give the cat rig another try. This is just so frustrating.
