Thank you for taking the time to highlight the importance of considering visibility in walk cycles. It's crucial for us at the moment, and adding just a line or two about it can make a significant difference. Walk cycles pose a considerable challenge in animation, and I appreciate someone shedding light on the plight of us animators!
Hey Mark- I followed along with this video and learned a TON. You are such an inspiration to me as an animator and its incredible we live in a world where we can access educational content from pros like yourself for free, thank you so much. Walk cycles can be so challenging but I love your workflow here, I find it difficult to build pose to pose but using this spline method makes so much sense and prevents a lot of the popping I was having building pose to pose. I feel a lot more confident in tackling different kinds of walk cycles and make something for my reel. My goal is to be a creature animator like yourself one day, your work is such an inspiration!
He's a 💎 I just discovered dis yesterday and I'm really grateful, i don't think "thank you" is enough Most people sell dis kinda tutorial and their tutorials are not even elaborating the process in depth
It's a great masterclass video on generic walk cycle. Thank you for giving tips, nice and clean workflow. I will definitely use this knowledge to create walk cycle. I always had a hard time animating walk cycles but now it seems much easier after watching this masterclass video. Thank you so much will share my progress on linkedin.
tysm for this video, as someone coming from blender and trying to learn maya im finding it so frustrating when i run into random glitches in the cycle and without this video i probably wouldve just gone insane haha
A genuine masterclass. Thank you so much for this in-depth explanation. Your workflow with the geometry cache was really smart and helpful. I used the same rig and it helped me to understand the poses and controller rotations. As a side note, I used Studio Library for saving my poses and its mirror script works better for me.
Hi Mark FIrst of all its an amazing tutorial its help me alot in my 3d animation journey. One thing I would like to ask how can i repeat walk animation only specific time like instead of using cycle and keep on my character walking how can i walk my character like 3 times or four times only instead of keep on walking using cycle method. Thank You. :)
Question from a beginner ,I'm starting to learn making a game in UE5 ,i have very specific ideas for the animations, so which software should i learn? UE5 inbuilt, Maya or Blender? Maya seems easier and more specialized.
I'm about to just drop Maya completely..I started learning with blender and I just simply dragged and dropped the reference into the viewport and it displayed. None of the reference files work, none of it displays in the viewport. I converted them to several file types and none of them work. I converted them image sequences and it won't show the options to import that. I do some digging and apperantly I need a specific codec??? This stuff should be mentioned. How can a program possibly be this convoluted??? I'm truly baffled by this. It should be so simple, in the video you easily did it. But for some reason it's impossible for me to simply import a reference video. What a motivation killer jesus christ man..
Same! Came to the comments to see if anyone was having the same issues; I followed the in-video steps (View > Image Plane > Import Movie) and it imports as a thin line no matter which viewport I'm in (even in Persp view, when I tumble around it remains a useless line). I've spent more time trying to troubleshoot this than on the scene itself and it's so annoying -_- If anyone has a fix, please let us know!
Bro simple h goes to after effect go to composition setting add to render queue export at png sequence make sure you remove _ and replace from. Dot maya import image use image sequence then video play
Try in an orthographic view when importing reference, Maya is a pain at times but it is a great program and there is a reason why we use it in the industry today.
There are a few interviews on the internet that talk about this, a good one that MAY still hold true today is an interview called "Insight into the life of a games animator" (2015) from MCVuk

This is my fav walk tutorial hands down.

Thanks so much Mark! Awesome tutorial! You helped me to finish my homework for college 😅
dude, i've been chipping away at my walk cycle animation for a few days now. This is perfect timing. Thank you!!

Guys note that MP4 files doesnt work (40:24)
But Mov does !
How did you convert it please? I keep getting an error in Maya
Love this level of detail in a class like this.
Awesome tutorial Mark, just finished my walk cycle. Now it's time to do it over and over again :)
Thank you for giving back to the community!!
He's a 💎

this is the only youtube video about walk cycles to be verified. thanks genius :)
Wow! This is quite helpful. Thanks. I hope you do more lessons specifically on the monster graph editor
Very good tutorial, very well explained and easy to follow along, I just with for once things would go the same way they do in a tutorial
wow i am waiting for this tutorial for long time thank you. i hope you doing more masterclass
Thanks for such an in depth explanation for creating a walk cycle. This has been super helpful 🙏
This is incredible thank you so much for making this video, so so helpful and precise, love it!
This is amazing
I appreciate you!!! Thanks for always making amazing, free content
Thanks mark! Loves your workflow

Love your content man, thanks for all of it
Hi, is it normal Maya doesn't recognize mp4? it sees .mov, but not mpr4?
What program are you using to analyze the reference
Excellent, Thank You 🏆😁👍!

Convert it into mov and do the exact same thing he shows in the video
Bro simple h goes to after effect go to composition setting add to render queue export at png sequence make sure you remove _ and replace from. Dot maya import image use image sequence then video play
Be grateful for dis, i paid for an animation course and it's even delivered as much as dis video has, and dis video is for FREE!

thank you ♥
Thanks
Why you didnt show how to deal with knee pop? Your walk have huge pop :/
Didn't understand what you did on the Neck and Head part, can someone explain?
please can u make a short video on how to settle the last pose in animation{maya } , pleaseee
спасибо тебе парень ты лучший
Is the flexibility of the body only valid for manual animation or can I get the same result when I apply mocap?
Hi can you make a video about how to make animation more realistic
GOOD ONE , CAN YOU PLS POSE TO POSE GOOD WORKFLOW ?
I still find it odd that maya still has no built in feature to mirror keyframes or paste them flipped
Could you give any insight to how fast an animator in the game industry is supposed to work? Is there a seconds per day quota?
There are a few interviews on the internet that talk about this, a good one that MAY still hold true today is an interview called "Insight into the life of a games animator" (2015) from MCVuk
Hi Mark! can you tell me how about to make the background in your scene? Thanks
I made a video showing how to setup the background awhile back. ruclips.net/video/1pz25yYXE4g/видео.html
hey i cant find the reference video
Link to the files should be in description now.
thank you!
maya version 2024? or what?
I can't fine the rig lol.
Forgot to put it in the description! Thanks for the reminder, link should be there now.
Maya doesn't care for it's user.. Useless updates every version
