■ If creating footsteps manually with Create Footsteps (append)

or Create Footsteps (at current frame), the gait parameters on the

Footstep

Creation rollout

on page 4434 are used.

Changing these values changes the timing for any footsteps placed after the

values are set.

Changing the Gait After Creating Footsteps

After creating the footsteps, you can change the gait by editing footstep timing

in Track View's Dope Sheet mode. See

Editing Footstep Timing on page 4200.

Gait parameters are only one way to define the timing and nature of the

biped's gait. For a more complete description of gaits and other parameters

that alter the nature of the biped's motion, see

Adjusting Vertical Motion on

page 4217.

Creating Footsteps Automatically

Automatic footstep creation is the easiest way to create a walk or run cycle.

You can use this method to make the biped climb or descend a flight of stairs,

hop repeatedly, and do a variety of motions. Automatic footstep creation

places the footsteps for you, generating perfectly timed and spaced footsteps.
