Hey Guys, I have a little question about compose.
I have a running cycle which I have applied to my character. I want the characters feet to make physical contact without slippage, but I also want him to be able to change direction when necessary. Is this possible with Compose? I can obviously make him run in a straight line, but at the end of the clip I want to add the same clip but running in a different direction. I think this was possible in Lightwave with Motion Mixer but unfortunately I've rigged my character in Messiah and I dont want to make another in LW.
I could do the old "running on the spot" trick and move him around by a null but then the feet will slip :(
I've looked at the walker effect but it seems to also only go in straight lines. Anyone got any ideas for me to dissect?
Thanks, Mike
