CREATING

A WALK PATH

Before you can use the Walk Designer, you need to create a

Walk Path, which tells the current figure where to walk. To

create a Walk Path, select the Figure, Create Walk Path

menu command and the default walk path appears in the

scene extending from the default figure, as shown in Figure.

You can select this path from the Props submenu in the Actor

List and is called Path_1.

USING THE WALK DESIGNER

Once you create a walk path, you can use the Walk Designer, shown in

Figure, to set the parameters for the walk cycle. You open the Walk

Designer dialog box by using the Window, Walk Designer menu

command. To the left of the Walk Designer dialog box is a preview pane

that will show a preview of the current walk settings when you click the

Walk button. The 3/4, Side, Front and Top options change the view in the

preview pane and the Figure Type button lets you open a different

character file.
