Hi

Good decitions there toysorylab got it about right as far as I am concerened.

As an aside I am currently working on a "walk down stairs script" not sure how I will get on but I will give it a try.

Chris.

I think that's an ok decision!

I hope in the future we can make more challenges like this because it makes everyone come together to solve an issue and we get so many participants and solutions that can be helpful to anyone, also its great for learning the software as well:):D It's a WIN-WIN!

Thanks again for giving me the 3rd place, I appreciate this and thank you to all and the whole community for tips, tricks, and input along the way. This challenge has helped me learn a lot and I hope we can arrange more challenges soon and make this a tradition on the forums.

Take care!

As I don't expect a "voting" will have lots of participation,
I decided to decide that on my own... :D
THANX for contributing!
And either a Python Solution will make walking stairs even more comfortable,
or RL really invests in a better locomotion system... ;)

So I had her start walking with female mixmove Walk_Start.iMotion.
As she approached the staircase, I broke that clip with right mouse>Break, deleted the right part and manually animated to a pose I called walk-onto-staircase - very first step. Then merged walk and first step clips together (optional step).
From there I began creating 3-step loop clip, which is covered in my video tutorial.

Hi Rampa.

Thanks for the positive words regarding my animation. What critic can you give me? I will not be offended in any way, this is the best tool for learning, hearing what's wrong and how I can fix it!

Just had an iClone private lesson with Benjamin Tuttle, he told me you are the guy to ask for Tech help:-) Benjamin has great insights as well in iClone, hope to learn as much as possible from anyone. I have to give a lot of credit to the community for always being helpful to us Noobs, although I maybe ask too many questions. There are no dumb questions only stupid answers... Forgive me, but many words and explanations are not self-explanatory to me:-)

One night in Bangkok from chess:D;):w00t:

Out of 11000 players I ended up at 2700th place:-) I only played 38 games with 55 points, and I scored 300 rating points higher than my own level, so pretty happy:-) I didnt have time to play chess 24 hours, I also had to work on my animation skills! :-) I am so happy to feel that I am getting some where and learn something every day.

I can't say this enough, but I do appreciate all of you guys trying to help out.:):D

I wish many of the good tips and advice were used to make tutorial videos, because even though for the good tips and advice its not always easy to understand by the writing only from the forum:--)

I am not sure what you mean?! Sorry, for asking so many questions, I feel bad for doing so, but as many teachers have told me, there are 

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

Great Job Albin! Looks like you did great job of it. :)

Good luck in your chess tournament. I'm blasting the Murray Head song right now! ;)

Thanks for this tip, but you say you created 3 steps... How? 3 Steps meaning 3 stair steps or 3 steps with both right and left feet?

Hey AlbinosGambit.

I have shown that in the video tutorial I posted the link to (https://forum.reallusion.com/FindPost439685.aspx)
3-steps are indeed 3 staircase steps and 3 timeline key animation.

The first step (before I started with 3-steps) is soft of walk-onto-staircase pose blended from regular mixmove walk.
From there I have made my 3-steps clip and replicated it over the timeline with 2 different methods:

1. Manually animating feet as I have shown in the tutorial.
2. Using Reach Effectors for the feet animation (I did not make a tut for that but explained and have shown the screenshot).

Again, both methods are using the same routine up until I begin animating feet.

:w00t::D:):hehe:
