According to this thread:
https://forum.reallusion.com/439194/Animating-walking-down-the-stairs
I tried doing this and it is damned tricky...

Here is my result:



I can imagine only very few, if any, will accept the challenge,
but the main goal of this challenge is to find out what's the easiest/best way
to do a walk down stairs whithout having the possibility to adjust stairs to motion.
And it's definitely a good practice, could be useful in the future. :D

As the title says, let Jade (Avatar template - Avatar - 0.Jade) walk down the stairs
of the "Loft Scene" (Project Template - 2.GI - 2.Loft Scene)...

Conditions
- Use Jade
- No scaling of the stairs/Loft Scene
- After Challenge is over, reveal your way how you did it...

If there are more than 3 people joining we could let the community vote who did the best job.
And I will think about a reward ;)
Or even better, @ RL any chance you could fork out a little freebie to your wonderful community?
Peter (RL)?
To give everybody the same chance, here is the motion I used: see attachment...

By the way, anybody who can make the descending motions @ Mixamo usable?
They are useless, as there is kinda footcontact implemented...
