Walk Cycle Automation

The walk cycle plug-in "Walk-A-Way" will be very helpful for animators when working on walk cycles and it will be a valuable tool in the process of creating convincing walk sequences in a fast and simple way.

Works on any rigged skeleton

The animator will be able to use a rigged skeleton in Maya and connect it to the plug-in in a few easy steps. Walk-A-Way has a user interface where the animator can adjust e.g. step-length, step-height, hip rotation, arm swing etc. Given a set of input parameters, the plug-in will calculate the required values for each phase in the walk cycle and set key frames for the walk cycle sequence.
