Planning for Footsteps
Spend a little time planning your footstep animation with pencil and paper
first. This will make the task of setting up footsteps much easier. Answering
the questions below can help orient your planning.
Planning for Footstep Placement
■ How are the footsteps going to be positioned in viewports? Draw a sketch
of their positions.
■ What is the sequence of the footsteps? This will determine the footstep
numbers.
Footsteps always begin with the number 0. Number them in your diagram
if you can.
