Minus the profanity, this was not a bad tutorial. Nice job Test01.
BTW you do not have to use the "c" key to orbit, if you use the ALT key plus the right mouse button, you can orbit the camera without deactivating your "w" (move) or "e" (rotate) tools while you are working with the object or characters. Also if you use the ALT plus left mouse button you can "pan" the camera, again without deactivating the tool you are working with.
Cheers,
Stuckon3d

Ive come across this same problem..good to know sum1 figured it out.
Can you make a tutorial on creating different walk cycles..like turning.
I always come across a problem making the movements look realistic when
having a character turn around.
Thanks for the tutorial

can you expand on the issue a bit - I'm not 100% sure that I understand? Are you using the default walk cycles and just trying to turn using a path or without a path? Like a 90% turn, or turn 180?
I'm working on another tutorial - I'll try and incorporate what you're needing to see if you can explain it better, or if you can find footage of a real life example on youtube or somewhere of the final desired outcome.

Can you do a motion where the character turns , bends & sweeps his leg to trip another character? Like what you see in the martial arts movies.
I have a hard time making those type of movments looks fluid
and end up hiding the feet

The video shows two different version of a front stance into a leg sweep. The second one mirrors real life more accurately because the character takes a step forward and then sweeps. I have both showing from different angles and then the last set at different speeds so you can see it in slow mo:

Test01, This may be a great tutorial, but I did not continue because of the language. Please use non profane language in your future tutorials. Thank you!

I'm sorry you did not enjoy it, but thanks for the feedback! The video does have a "NSFW warning for language" at the top of the page within this thread.
You are welcome to make your own tutorials and post them up as well. In fact, I wish more people would.

Sorry, hadn't gotten around to the tutorial yet, so I thought this would be the next best thing for the moment by showing it and then slowing the vid down to help visualize. I was still trying to figure out the best way to make the motion look more realistic. I found that on real life examples, a leg sweep happens so quick (~1 sec) that it is usually just a blur. Applying a motion blur to this type of movement in After Effects would greatly enhance the realism and make it look much less mechanical. The big trick is to get the front leg to stay in the same position during the movement. I do this at the very end.
It takes me a series of about 4 different modifications to a "COLLECT CLIP" movement/transformation to make a motion like this.

Test01, I believe what you want to present in your tutorials will be helpful to a lot of new iClone users, including me. I'm not being critical about the content and the presentation of the tutorial but the language. Using such language in a "public arena" is a turn off. As far as making tutorials, at this point in time I have neither the knowledge or the skills. I am still learning and want to learn from those who are willing to pass on their knowledge. This is why I joined this forum. When I reach the point where I can make a contribution to the iClone community, I will be more than willing to create a tutorial.

Test01; you are my new InterWeb Hero! Don't change a thing!
Oh, BTW; I'm in 'Show Business'...I found nothing wrong with your language....:), didn't offend me and are exactly the same things uttered[at this workstation] when I use a program that has a mind of it's own!

Let's make this the last response to the language issue and focus on other issues.

LOL - thanks. I've no intention of changing much, except maybe making some better how-to tutorials as I go along. Personally, I think the iClone community is too focused on what they can sell to each other. There's hardly any good tutorial series out there. Again, I stole from the best:
You Sukc at Photoshop (completely awesome series - even if you don't use photoshop)
and
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review
