Just slide them stud by stud. For running, two studs at a time.
Well, I want it to look sorta realistic since the dogs attack people.
Sneaky camera angles should work.
Well If I couldn't find a good cycle technique then yeah I was going to try differant angles to give the illusion, but I'd like to know if there is a good cycle.
Do it like you would to a child walk cycle.
Kinda like what jstudios said. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but for my video Crush I used a few cycles for the kids and a horse that might work if you try it with the dog. And then when he's running you can make him hop a few studs in the process. I'm not sure how it would work out completely.
Hmmm, how would I explain that. You want the dog being stuck to the studs for the first frame, then risen slightly for the second, for the next frame move it half way towards the next stud, for the next frame have the dog on the studs, but not fully pressed down, just like frame two, and then fully pressed down to the studs for the next frame. Does that make sense?
Dog walk and run cycle...Interesting idea. I'll try it out and if it works I'll post it on youtube.
