Topic: Animating short legs?

In my entry to anti-exercise 2, their is going to be a seine where two kids go trick-or-treating. How do I animate walk/run sikles with them?

I do not care about your opinion, unless it has to do with it needing more ponies.

There's a demonstration here, but the tutorial was hosted on Brickfilms.com, so it's been removed now. It's pretty simple to work out though.

or try http://veryhelpful.info/Moose.Arts.Crafts/?p=20 I haven't tested it myself but it looks like it could work. (you could obviously make the color of the feet match the pants too) let me know it that helps mini/smile

Re: Animating short legs?

hmm the one over at BF before was interesting, i think it consisted of three different type of bricks that you would switch for each frame of the step... the only problem is, i don't remember which order or exactly which bricks! hm that is an interesting idea there brenden17! i think i will try it with some ugly legs of mine (i am not 100% convinced you can animate with those)

I think the TwickABrick one consisted of:

for the walking, and for the stop at the end:

combined with

Obviously not (necessarily) in those colours.

That would be awesome if you could test it for me. Like I said I've never tried it. They might be too short to animate.
