3:03 you can also select the curve in graph editor and use “shift+E” for more extrapolation options.

This is so good! I've tried to find this from.other walk cycles tutorials.
Thx for the video.

bro is a life saver

Not bad. I am a beginner. Although walking may seem simple, it's actually quite difficult.

Was about to start making some research regarding this topic when your video showed up
Thanks

Hi, Mark! This video helped me to set up a basic root motion driven movement system in Unreal with my own animations, and it seems to work perfect, so thanks a lot for the great tutorial!
But while I was watching videos related to setting up the movement system in Unreal, I’ve noticed that vast majority of root motion animations in these videos have root motion start exactly from the world origin (same goes for examples in the Unreal docs). Meanwhile, in your tutorial the root bone starts its motion a bit behind the world origin and then moves forward beyond it.
So I wanted to ask, do these differences in initial root bone position matter for game animation? Does it entail anything down the line if the root motion starts anywhere outside the world origin or not?
Thanks!

is it possible to modify the curve after a certain amount of frames have passed?

after i paste mine on the y location in went in the z location when i play it.

[@RonaldoxSiu]

same

Can you provide this assest first?

[@haruka3203]

It's harder to do this when you want your character to do this non-linearly

[@nelly_nimloth]

Ok but how to stop this cycle after all..😅

I don't know why, what you're saying is so easy to follow - but what you're doing isn't.
