Learning Animation in Source Filmmaker Part 2.5 - Creating a Looping Walk Cycle

how are you making moving limbs smooth with physics instead of streching

This is so helpful and straightforward, thank you!

WHEN THED THE CAR COME IN

May you stay in our hearts together scout 😂

dawg idk how this is so confusing I’m tryna loop a walking animation but idk how, someone help me in the replies

I need more clear instructions idk how, I kept watching the thing, but I just kept getting confused

Bro, i was so serious looking, that car DESTROYED me, SHESH LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO HHAHAHAH

NOOOO SCOUT, LOOK OUUUUTT!!!!!

Omg I just noticed the car lmao

So that’s what I did wrong. I’m too lazy to fix it, but nice to know for the future to not move the character until the walk cycle is done.

I love this sm

where do you find the character walk cycle after importing it from the steam workshop??

does the model tell you what the root bone is?

Everytime I try to drag a model leg the leg just get stretched doesn't follow it. it just stretches. Do you know how to fix this or somethin?

Additional useful tip: When setting up the walking animation and you want to be sure that the feet are at the right heights, spawn in three of the same object - doesn't matter which one, as long as it is small and visible - and set them at the perimeter of your animation: where the toes land at the front, where the heel stops at the back, and the peak height of the ankle when it is rising through the passing step. This will both help measure the bounds of the animation and help to be certain both feet are at the same consistent height and distance.

PERSONA MUSIC MY BOY

The end lol

Can you like stop a loop sequence?

when i move the root the model doesn't move

Well he kept walking and he ded

It's too hard i cannot loop my walk cyle please help?

got ran over by a car by walking forward too much non-stop.

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial, can you explain with more details how to make the walking cycle in the place? I could do the walking cycle for the first tutorial, but I cant make this

the car in the end lmao

Scout never stops walking
Some random car i think not

Hi! I just want to thank you for making these series of tutorials for SFM. They've been really useful and I'm hoping you do more of them! About animating walk cycles, I'm confused...because I followed the previous tutorial and this video's completely different in how to animate a walk cycle. Do I still need to lock the pelvis to the hands and use Rig_biped_simple? And, which poses of the walk cycle do I actually animate?

guys the scout is dead!

Can we save this walk cycle? and if so how?

k

Lovely ending, good job

Rip scout tho lmao

Thanks for uploading this. I'm just starting out, and making the first walk cycle on a custom model has proven to be a real bastard up till seeing this. The other guides I've seen have been saying you need to keep animating every step, or opting to copy paste and patch their cycle when it breaks.

i didnt undestand the last part, where you take the root bone and move it foward, i do that but my character teleport foward, sorry for my bad english :C

Nice

You’ve created the walk cycle, he’s never going to stop. He’s never going to s- scout gets pancaked by car halfway over there

rip scout.All he wanted to do was walk but...we all know what happened next...

omfg that car

To avoid the sliding, another thing you can do is keeping the foot's front/back axis (probably z) translation curve a straight line when the foot is touching the ground, and make the root having the same tangent as the foot.

Loving these vids, I e been messing with half life Alyx’s sfm and it looks fantastic! I just gotta learn how to animate

Didn't see that car coming.... 🤣

Nice

Thank you for this

Glad to see you back

I thought you forgot about us

I love these tutorials man, they're so helpful and they aren't boring like other animation tutorials. I love how you always bring in small jokes to keep it entertaining too.
