Does anyone knows the procedures on creating walk animations ??

[D_ManXX2]

This is for blender. I have tried making a few for either oblivion or new vegas but both don't seem to be doing it correctly.

 

what bones are used for animating is it bip01 ?? because when i tried making 1 animations it either stay on 1 place without moving forward or the other time is it walks correctly then it jumps back to where you started. So that was confusing.

Couple of tricks for doing walks for Oblivion:

 

1. Yes, you use the bip01 to go in whatever direction you are walking.

2.  Make sure any walk forward animation is named "Forward" in the NiControllerSequence.

3.  Regardless of how many frames your animation is (35 to 60 is pretty normal for walk forward) use 25001/end.

Coupled with cycle_loop this will keep you walking forward indefinitely.

 

Pretty sure New Vegas and Fallout 3 are similar if not identical.  Just import in one of the modified sexy walks for oblivion (not a vanilla one) and you can see how other modders did it.

It should be noted that importing a vanilla animation will cause it to align incorrectly - that is to say, the character will move on the wrong axis.

Corronera's tutorial explains this further.

 

It can be corrected, and corrected animations that are re-imported will align correctly.

Custom animations should not have this issue.

So i guess the speed also counts for walks ?? i tried making brand new one but the speed was too fast it looked more Michael Jackson moonwalk (sliding). Then resembling a real walk.

 

I gonna have to experiment with speed till i get the right one for walking.

Yes, speed counts in walking.  I'd copy the speed of one existing vanilla walks and tweak it up or down from there.

Don't forget the text keys for the frames when the Left or Right foot hits the ground

Good Point.

 

 

I just opened one in blender and this is what the text keys are:

1/start

2/Enum: Left

6/m:L

27/Enum: Right

31/m:R

29971/end

i will check those out. At least now i know how to make properly moon walk animation.
