Project Tutorial 1 - Recreating IK

[Astro Animations 1.2k]

Yea, I invented a whole new concept. no one, to my knowledge, has done something like this before...

Hope it isn't stupid. I (For once) don't think it's stupid! I think I may be onto something...

This is for new animators, it's basically a tutorial that you download set up in a project. Kewl? Yea? Noo? Mebee?

So, other animation programs have something called IK, which basically means that an object (Say, a hand) will stay in the same position despite it's parent (Say, an arm) moving. This is useful for walking/ running cycles, because then the foot will stay in the same spot. This is a tutorial to recreate this is Mine-imator!

Personally I just look at the pixels on the ground and make sure that the front edge of his leg is on the same pixel when the character is moving.
