Running Tutorial

[koolman887]

Okay, i think this is one of the most difficult things to learn how to do in Pivot. People have said, "Four frames is best! Five frames are best! Six! Seven!" I must agree, they are all right. Four frames is good for a quick run, seven is good if you speed it up a little. Everything in between is okay, too. So, I must agree, that six frames of running is best. So here is what it will, if done correctly, look like.



It's okay, right?

So basically, for anytime i start off with a guy running, i make his legs the closest they will ever get. So here is what you should have frame 1 look like:



(I put the arms back to make it look cooler, you don't have to)

Next, frame two, move the front leg back about a centimeter and the back one up a little less than a centimeter from its spot last frame. bring the leg back to almost be straight:



Frame three, bring the back leg another centimeter back, and the front leg up to 3/4 of a 90 degree angle.bring the second joint to about around a 60 degree angle. If you don't understand, look at the picture:

[/list]

Frame four, have both feet off the ground. Don't really move the front leg's first joint, bring the far one up a little. The back leg is almost straight, and pushed back farther.



Frame five, change frmae 4 a little bit, just bring both legs down a little, straighten the front, bend the back a little.



Frame six, almost straighten out the front leg, make it touch the ground.
Back leg should bend more and be pulled in more.




Well, that's my tutorial. Hope it helped. Please vote if it did or not.
