For my first crack at animating in Moho I tried Preston Blair's famous "double bounce" walk.

There are a few glitches here and there but overall a painless experience.
Please have a look and critique if you like.

Excellent - I like his style. Could you write a tutorial or send the data file. Nice - Brian
Thanks for the comments everyone!

The decided to let the foot problem go for two reasons: My bone setup wasn't really that good and the character has really big feet. I don't know how real animators deal with big feet and I plan to look into that.

I just started using Moho, no way I'll have the brass to write a tutorial! If I learn how to really do this (and somebody wants it) I'll write one.
thanks again!

There are plenty of ways to accomplish a working bigfoot-animation. As I said you could use masking. Create a layer and put it under the surface. in the layerproperties you select "don't render this layer" and then make the mask hide the foot. It won't look good, but it works. The way I would do is too add an extre two bones to each foot, both with the main foot-bone as a parent. One at the end of the foot, and one at the very bottom. Then you can translate the bones (move them) when the go under the surface, then it looks as the foot is pressed against the surface. That will look great.I don't know how real animators deal with big feet and I plan to look into that.
