The Essentials and Beyond
This chapter introduced you to animating characters with Character Studio. Using the Biped system, you can quickly create and adjust the substructure that controls a 3D model. Once the Physique modifier associates or skins the model to the biped, character animation can be added using footstep-driven or freeform animation.
Additional Exercises
- Add different head or arm movements to the current footsteps on your soldier.
