How To Create Walk Cycles in Blender - The Fastest Method
Фильм және анимация
Animate a walk cycle in 5 minutes! In this video, I go over how you can use Blender's mirror pose tool to very quickly create a walk cycle. We take a single contact pose and use that to create the entire walk cycle. I've always found it important to utilize the tools within a software to help you achieve the animations you want in a much faster amount of time. The mirror pose tool helps you do just that!

I cannot tell you, how long I have been looking for a tutorial like this. I have been working on a character of mine for MONTHS now and I finally get to see her walk, I'm almost actually crying because I have put so much effort into it and I get to see my character walk. Thank you so much for this tutorial, 40/10

It is almost like being a parent to a degree.
This is exactly the kind of tutorial I was hoping to find, absolutely straight forward, gives the right amount of info with little tips and tricks sprinkled throughout it to make the overall experience much easier. Absolutely love it!
U gotta get ur webcam out the way dawg

Yeah dude
Posiblemente haya visto miles de videos y jamás nadie me ha explicado de la manera mas sencilla como vos, eternamente agradecido! NICE VIDEO BRO!
This was super helpful! Never thought it would be so simple! Thanks for sharing!
This was a great tutorial! I love how calm and slowly you walk us through the process of making a walk cycle
Thank you! This really helps someone like me who doesn’t have prior animation experience. Blender can be a little weird with keyframes, like you have to make sure you have deselected everything before inserting again, as you can accidentally overwrite previous frames, other than that, this tutorial is by far the fastest and easiest way to start getting into animation.
I've actually watched several videos for tutorials for a simple walking animation with rigs. I don't know but I finished them all but I wasn't still able to do it. But this one, for some reason, I was able to do it almost right away. I was able to figure it out instantly.
You said it was rough and not looking great at the end. I would love to see you finish it until it was finished and you were satisfied. Please create the last part! :)
Very well explained! Simple and precise.
Thank you this is my first Walk Cycle.. i quit multiple tutorial and courses bc i couldn´t figure it out! Really motivates me now haha
thank you so much for this video! really helped me to understand walk cycles better!
thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
fantastic :) learned to trust the blender interp and helped make some basic stuff!!!
What a fantastic tutorial. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this, I made an great walk cycle after just a tiny bit of tweaking.
Love your tutorials man !!!
Nice to see you animating
wow this changes everything for me
It looks so easy how you do it. Will take me another 4 hours to figure out one step.
thank you so much this is an easy 10/10 tutorial and the best one I have seen
Helpful video, Thanks!
This was so helpful thank you!
Thank u! This is what i needed,
great tutorial!
Dude, THANKS!
It's worthy to note, at 7:00 you can also copy paste poses directly in the timeline.

Very Nice Mark!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I am also a maya user character animator. Could you please make a video about setup reference footage in blender, about best layout for animation, about graph editor of blender, about creating playblast etc. I mean all of the pipeline of maya. I hope, this is not a big trouble for you to make.
Really great tutorial, I hope to see more from you!
Thankyou sir please make more videos for beginners in full details about short animation
Thanks .
imagine doing a whole video about animation on a software where timeline is so fucking important, then putting your camera on it
thx
the video was very Good just a suggestion kindly make your backgroud transperant so we can clearly see what you have done on the first frames .
you are amazing
Could you make a tutorial on setting up that rig?
Nice tutorial! I just wish there was a way to copy & flip multiple poses simultaneously instead of having to do them one by one.
very helpful. my only one note would be, it would've been nice to help the user set up the initial pose you already had. Luckily this is not my first tutorial so i know about some of the subtleties like dropping the hip etc but a newbie wouldn't know that. Besides that it was a very helpful video.
I would love to see how you set up a rig.
Are you leaving it in bezier interpolation?
thanks for this. Luckily for me the non refined version of my walk cycle worked better for my monster. The way it would subtly jitter made it look creepier.
I love those Halo kotobukiyas
Awesome video, please make more like this! you got subscribe from me ;)
Awesome! Thank you!))
yes. i got the walk cycle down. but PLEASE make a tutorial on walking in a path now. i have had trouble for this for years and i still have my character look like their sliding on ice
WUNDABAR! Great tutorial! But what about walking backwards and strafing?
wow
3:08 Congratulations, you made a Scott Cawthon style animation
I love your art, beautiful character and outfit. My walk cycle is nice in blender but when I render its very stiff. How do you interpolate keyframes or whatnot, and how to change frame rate? No idea. Can you please do a "render animation" video? I hope someone sees this.
thank you so much for this
it really helps having your webcam right on where the timeline is. thanks dude.
Awesome 😊👍🏻
Hi I need help asap, can I animate this one the same spot, and then use the animation on a path
Awesome, Thanks a lot, though next tutorial I dont need to see your face, I want to see the interface
Super helpful video! Maybe move the facecam up a little, it's hiding the timeline :)
My face every time I correctly follow a step and it works: :O Edit: Is it possible for me to take the animation I made and then import to into another project?
I love how the redundant head is covering half of what you're doing.

@MarkMastersAnim haha. The rest was good. There were some parts where I wasn't sure if you changed what frame you're working on. Sorry about calling your head redundant. Haha. I think intro, outro, and explaining things that don't need visuals are enough.

Brother i have a suggestion. please keep your video on the righthand side on the outliner so that we can have clear view of the timeline. Thank you.
Thanks for your vid! is there a way to make it use the same animation but walk the opposite direction? not reverse the animation but walk forward the opposite direction?

Rotate the root bone 180⁰
FYI, you can just control C, control shift V to mirror the pose
Hi would you recommend 24 or 60 FPS for Character Animations for Games? and why.
that was good, but there is a small problem in idk my armature, It is that the leg bones are easily paste flip but when i flip the arm bones it automatically switches to the idle T pose.
Sir please help for perfect lighting
i am stumped. i have looked up like 3 different tutorials now and they all pretty much say the same. have a start pose, copy it and paste it at the end and lastly paste it reversed in the middle. ez game. But for some reason my character just slightly contorts up and down the leg doesn't switch at all it's still the same leg forward even though i press A and copy reverse paste it... what am i doing wrong?

May be you should try adding keyframes
@Blendercage

Are you making sure that everything has fresh key frames before copying and making sure the mouse is in the viewport while copy pasting the pose? Not sure if it’s the same thing Ive run across doing this.

@Intramotive Jones good tip I used to get try copy and past in the dope sheet. But to reverse pose you gotta be in viewport.

Might be too late but it's probably because your bone are not named properly, they have to have a suffix (L or R) so blender know what should be symmetrized on the other side.
Don't forget to make the naming convention of the bones L.Leg and R.Leg respectively. I almost forgot this. :P
how do you actually move the character forward ?
I'm not sure why, but the pose is not pasting when I try to paste the pose on frame 12. Do I need a premade pose already? Do I need to select the other leg? I'm pressing A in pose mode like the video shows, too, but nothin'.
can you suggest me some website where i can download free rigs because i am animating in Maya and just started learning blender
Do you have any video about rigging? Like in this video.
❤
Hmmm... very nice, but that's actually a 25 frames cycle, not 24, right? Of course, makes sense to be able to put the pass pose in the middle. I believe it would be better to then start at frame 1, not 0. Not a big deal, but this might confuse beginners a bit.
👍
please help me when i paste flipped the whole character flips and changes direction if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know
hello i was wondering how you have it so that once you set down a key frame it just auto accepts whatever you put in with me i always have to do it at the end and go through a menu of what part of the animation i want to keep Rotation, scale, etc. Thanks so much if you respond or if any other commenter can answer my question.

How do you stop a walk cycle?
i don't know if you will reply to this message but, i really wanted to know. what is that circle down her foot with the pointy arrow around, how to i get that things
need some help my character is flipping on an opposite direction
3:00 is the main part . It is when you get the idea
everytime I press "i" to create a keyframe, it just gives me a whole list of stuff (Available, location, rotation, scale, location and rotation, visual location, visual rotation, etc.) what am I even supposed to select?
Thank you for this tutorial! Really helped a lot. But please get your webcam out of the way of what youre doing. can be confusing when you explain something but we cant see what you are doing.

I've got a video releasing tomorrow about that.
Sir I put animation of a girl walking then she brought to city with the help of an addon and when I play that lady on the road of the city then she goes back to where she was and starts walking
if could remove you face of front of the video
when i click paste pose flipped, my character just bends furtrher, it doesnt flip the pose...
2:36 Wait, Maya, the industry standard software for animation, doesn't have animation flipping built in?
Can someone help me my pose does not change as I flip it after copying it, it flips but then it does not flip back over if i go back to the frames. basically after I flip it, it does not change back over and takes a fixed position.
