The Walking Sith!

I thought I would have a look at the biped feature of 3DS next and see how you can animate a humanoid being. Rather than creating my own rig and skin I just used the built in tool for testing. First I had a play around with how once limbs are linked up how they move in unison.

Next I had a look at other features available and came across the built in foot steps section which was awesome, although animating during it is awkward and it removes all previous animations.

One issue I had was the inability to animate within the bottom timeline using keys as I had previously done in my Star Wars animation. I'm not too sure why but I will definitely try and find this out!
