Question Moving characters in an animation naturally with timeline

[futalover59]

I am struggling so much on moving characters naturally in an animation. They always look so off when moving in an animation and it so hard to move every single part of an character to move them just a tiny bit. Is there a trick to move them naturally in an animation with timeline?

Movement, especially walking, seems easy to do but is a complex movement hard to replicate with manual keyframing. It's no surprise that the most natural movements are mocaps.

If you need walking, try to use the CLS plugin (complete locomotive system?) and for other motions try to just record the main target locations and have it tween from one to the next. if you click the squiggly line on top left of timeline it will open up with a visual representation of the tween. We do full body mocap here and it's still not that easy!
