In my project I would like to have two people (from the content Browser) simply do a walk from A to B….
The fastest way seems to me to do this via Cmotion (?).

Unfortunately I can’t figure it out, my character is in the wrong ‘pose’, but even if I fix that, I won’t get a simple walk.
I watched the video below and searched a lot, but no solution.

Maybe you want to help me on my way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Annet,

Would you mind uploading the file here:

I will leave this URL here for an hour.

I tried to send and Private Message, but I’m not getting it through.

All the best

Dropbox works again, i uploaded the file, its some people from the content browser.
I would like them to walk from A to B in my project.

Thank you, Annet, for the file.

The YouTube link you have mentioned is something I have done many times, but it requires that the Figure was rigged with the Mixamo Rig, not with the Advanced BiPed setup. This tip states this clearly, but the Asset Browser does not at all, and I think that causes the problems for you. Sorry about that.

If you call up the Male Figure newly, go to the Layer Browser and click on every red Lock that you see. Then fine the Subdivision Surface and drag that group out of the Character. Uncheck the Skin Object, and delete all the weight tags.

Now you can apply the Character Maximo object, as in your YouTube link (Jonas Pilz’s tutorial). With that, you can apply all the MoCap data that fits the Joint rig.

Alternative

Would you mind checking out this tutorial:

He starts it in this tutorial, You might check out his bird example as well, but the full setup of the walk cycle is then here:

You need to use the IK controller to configure this hub.

The Add walk-cycle in the Male Character has some problems; I need time to file a report, as it is not clear right now why it produces all these problems.

All the best

Thank you Dr. Sassi, I will try the link you send.

“The Add walk-cycle in the Male Character has some problems; I need time to file a report, as it is not clear right now why it produces all these problems.”

I tried over and over again, happy to hear that the problem is in the Character:-)

Thanks a lot for your reply, Annet.

The way I learn best is certainly more how Bret presents it.

Perhaps have a look, even if it is a little bit older, but he is undoubtedly The Guru, when it comes to Character Rigging.

P.S.: If you look for a simple solution, perhaps Mixamo.com might be an idea.

Hello Dr. Sassi,

Thank you for the tip.
Coincidentally, I just discovered Mixamo yesterday and it’s simple and a great solution for my project!

I have now managed (in a short time) to let two different people walk in my project

Thanks for the reply, Annet.

Great, and thanks for your patience.

My best wishes for your project.
