The Walk behavior lets your animated characters walk, slump, sneak, run, and more. In this tutorial, we'll look at the differences between simple and three view walk rigging, and then go through a step by step process rigging a PSD file to get it up and running (literally). We'll also show how to customize your walk parameters to match the style to your puppet's personality, and show some examples of how users are using the Walk behavior for everything from runway fashion to bouncing musicians! Finally, we'll end with some tips and tricks with things like making the background and foreground move, or how to get a quadruped to walk.
