This course is all about 3D animation, character walk cycle, and moves the character forward at the end of the day!

I will show you how to deal with a ready rigged character, step by step to make a complete vanilla walk or standard walk cycle.

Less is more! so I'll learn you the easiest way to do that kind of animation.
