Where is your scene with Jade walking down the stairs?
I am excited to see what your results are!
Remember, you started this "stairy mess", and you got lots of tips now, we want to see YOUR results too! :D

I just set Chuck at the top of the stairs and used the "Edit Motion Layer" to set the each of the leg/foot/body positions
then move the timeline on a bit and reset the leg/foot/body positions ect until i was at the bottom of the stairs.
Yes I know it is not very good but as I said this was only my second go at doing this,
I have now setup the example scene with Jade and will post my example when I have it completed.Okay, the hard way , doing it by hand, keyframe by keyframe :)
Similar to how I did it, though I used a descending motion as basis.
This is quite time consuming, and not that easy to make it look real. Though, with enough skills and experience, maybe even the best way. On my side that did not work perfect. The problem is, I guess, that we want to do it fast, and don't do it accurate enough. Hi Yep by hand, and yes it is time consuming, I did not use any underlying motions at all just me? So far I have Jade walking across the landing and got the first part of her walking down the stairs so now I need to put in all the extra touches to make it as real as I can this is the real time consuming part.

Hi there ToyStoryLab! Haha... yes I started all this, you are right about that, we all have to find something constructive to do right?! I couldn't imagine this kind of response at all, it's almost viral! Well, I have dabbled a bit with it but I am just a starting NOOB, but sure I will give it a go and publish my results as well, but I cant honestly say I believe it would be any good though haha..! toystorylab (4/3/2020)

Make sure you are loading as a profile. The Load button at the top of the characterization panel. I just converted your motion with it. See attached.Right, thanks Rampa (not sure what I was thinking last night - a very bad day).

I'm not a Python person, but this seems like it could be an automated process with a Python plugin. Maybe some method of aligning the feet to specific locations on the steps?
I'm still much more interested in an automated system to get the basics, than a finished animation.

It takes 10 min to make a walk-on-stairs animation (using mirror pose with Pose Manager plug-in). In my original animation above I used the same pose-to-pose technique, but mirrored pose manually so it took a little longer to produce. Here is a quick video using mirror pose with Pose Manager. It is somewhat rough but fairly clean. If you spend little more time you may enhance it for more realism. I did not comment, as it's pretty much self-explanatory. Feel free to ask questions. Notes: * I used fixed, even staircase and respective terrain for it (download here) * It is best to use Preview Orthographic camera mode (I hid walls, trees and sky). * I downloaded Pose Manager just now and did not have a chance to play with it much. Just saw a mirror pose and got excited. There might be more options for automation with this plug-in.

Hi Vikingman Albin. Where do we find the poser plugin?
Its not a POSER-Plug-in
It's a Phyton Ad-On "Pose-Manager" for IC 7 from RL
This PlugIn is free
