Topic: Animating of minifigs on loose sand
Hello guys
I work now on my brickfilm about pirates. There's a problem with animating of minifigs on loose sand. For your reference, see my screenshot:
It means the minifig stands on almost 1 inch thick layer of sand. I'd like minifig to leave footprints on sand, it's look nice than walking on hard sand.
However, the real problem is when the minifig has to make step, the sand can't move around the minifig's legs and at the same time the minifig has to stand in the same place like in the previous frame. Only legs have to move forward before changing the position and his torso has to be set perpendicularly to the sand, while the minifig is shifted. Additionally, I'd like to animate a pirate standing still and moving only his torso, while talking.
Is there a solution of my problem to animate these scenes correctly?
