I've been using Motion Puppet for a while and, whatever I do, whatever terrain I choose, however I dial the settings, the left foot is always sliding a little bit while the right foot is steady as a rock. That's not normal. If there is sliding, it should be by both feet. It bugs me. What gives?

Some of the motion puppet clips have issues, the female natural walk has a jitter in the leg when it is completing the loop. Maybe that is what you are seeing, the result of an error while cleaning/looping the mocap data

This is actually the same issue that you will see if you have a Persona with a move command. The "glitch" is the looping point of the walk motion. You get it no matter how carefully trimmed the loop is, from my experience. Since the character is translating along a path at a constant rate, you see it sliding when the momentary pause of the loop occurs.

I would suggest using a motion like Bigboss EZ walk, or something. You will need to set keyframes to translate your character on Z with moving motion clips, but they will look much better.

Once you seen that glitch, it cannot be unseen!

Sorry not to have responded sooner. I just didn't see your post.

Wow Peter! That's a HUGE amelioration here. That proves Reallusion is a responsible company. However, if you want to be picky about it. that left foot seems to be slightly sliding to the left now. But it's so tiny not to be an inconvenience.

I'm  surprised that Peter's important adjustment (above) of the Motion Puppet  doesn't  interest more people. Motion puppet is an ever-so-precious feature. I use it all the time. Characters have to walk, don't they?

Thanks again, Peter.

Thank you for testing the new file and for giving us your feedback.

I have not tried the temporary workaround, but am excited by Argus' glowing praise for it.

Peter - Is this something we can expect to be built into the next (7.3) release of iClone?
