Hi
I want to create a simple animation: a man is walking and he is about to faint but suddenly he back to normal walking.

So by using character studio and reactor ragdoll system. I create a character walking then ragdoll (when he is going to faint)then normal walking. I know this can be done by manually, but if their any other ways (or easier) to create more smooth animation between two?





Thanks

i believe animating the biped in layers would be the key... i know how to do it in cattools, but not cstudio, though i'm sure it's the same... probably through the motion mixer n such to create transitions between the layers. Ie: Create the walk cycle, then create the keyframes from reactor on another layer or clip, and keyframe the character getting up, then you can blend back into the original walk layer.... something like that. =)

Ok, thanks. I really forgot the layer function.

But I really wish autodesk merge this two together, the character studio and reactor ragdoll system---physical based character animation.
