Walk Cycle

[NanotechBeasts]

Okay I have never done an actuate walk loop in moho and I think the last walk loop I did was photoshop and stop-motion and while it was passable it wasn't great.

So the first walk cycle loop I have is of my canine character. It's 16 frames based on what I have seen from tutorials and references but I have been getting confused on when the butt should be up and the shoulders down and when the shoulders should be up and the butt down in the cycle even with watching the videos and creating still frames with lines. The little hunting dog character walk cycle was the most helpful reference so far with a leg frame reference.

So in these keyframes, I have not moved my character's back, tail, head yet or corrected the gaps or awkward fur movement in the legs. It only shows what I think to be the correct leg movement for my character. I know the head should follow the movement of the butt and bob a little up and down. Not looking for amazing, just simple actuate. Also my character has very long forearms/wrists so it doesn't seem like it will have a perfect walk regardless of what a do, but I know I can do better than this.

Anyway would someone mind telling me it the shoulders/butt should be at their highest up or down in these frames. I didn't included a work file because I want program this walk by myself and know the exact keyframe for high and low points. I need to learn to do this in moho. I just can't seem to figure out the direction of the back movement for a walk and it is giving me the worst headache. I rather ask know than animate the way the fur and everything moves wrong from the beginning.

These are some really raw frames.

Here is the youtube clip: https://youtu.be/ErvuMHPFBdE (God it looks like someone pinned her tail to the wall. I'll get that tail moving too in the final cycle.)

Hopefully I get to work on this file again before the Summer but my life is crazy right now so we will see.
