I recently purchased Sword & Shield Moves pack. Before purchasing it I had checked some of the free animations. They had a start, loop and end animation for walking.
However the Sword & Shield Moves pack did not. Now I'm a bit confused on how I'm supposed to be able to use this pack.
If I had some timestamps I could perhaps cut the animations myself but even then that is a bit disappointing. I'm not very experienced when it comes to animations and that's kind of why I went and bought stuff here.

Happy for any help.

Hi...

In the Sword and Shield Moves pack you will notice each motion starts and ends with a similar stance. This makes it easy to loop and blend the different motions together.

How you do this will of course vary depending on the software you are using motion in. However, in iClone 8 it is very easy. You just load the animations you want onto the timeline and then use the align features to make sure that the position of the leg at the end of one animation completely matches up with the leg position at the start of the next motion. This makes everything look seamless and fluid.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your answer.
I guess I now have an excuse to learn a bit more about how to work with animations.
For other people with this problem, I did find a tutorial for how to do this in iCloud 8.
