Could someone tell me whats the easiest way to make a character walk? I have a character with all the necessary stuff and I tried to animate him by setting keyframes but it takes a heck of a lot of time and its not easy at all to have a smooth walking style.Any help will be appreciated folks.Many thanks

And how much time have you put into it so far?

All I can really advise is to keep doing it, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... And some day if you stick to it you might have a smooth looking walk cycle.

Seriously though.. Study people. Record yourself walking. Record a friend.

Keep th basics in mind.. Weight. Timing. Overlap. Etc...

Also wouldn't hurt to read this book. It's invaluable.
