Adding more periodic motion

We’re going to leave Rain’s feet shuffling as they are and return our focus to the movement of MSTR-Pelvis_Parent. Working outward from the torso, we will then add some simple twisting using MSTR-Hips and MSTR-Chest_Parent, the bones for the hips and chest.

Important note

You no longer need to enter my exact values for this section, and you should feel free to experiment. The only hard rule is that you must be precise with your own values so that there’s no asymmetry in the walk cycle.

When we’re finished, Rain’s walk cycle will start to look kind of believable (as long as you don’t look at her arms or legs)!

Torso movement

Having completed the Y Location F-curve of MSTR-Pelvis_Parent, we can address the other two axes along which the torso should move. These F-curves will cycle normally without any offset, but as we’ll see, some F-curves only require a half-length period.

Here’s what...
