I just found this really cool robot rig and cooked this up after a few hours of playing with it. Its the first time I've posted any animation here and I was looking for some suggestions. Its also the first time Ive tried the double bounce walk.

Haha, I love that. Maybe you could do something with the foot when it's staying behind, it already looks like it's a bit ticking to the music but it could be more obvious, I think.

Well I was hoping that maybe somebody could help me with that. Since this is the first time I've used this rig, Im finding that either Im not quite sure how it works. When I first started, I had control over heel and toe roll and pivots but later on in the animation process, I noticed that those controls no longer worked. I can now dial Heel Roll, for instance, from 0 to 10 and absolutely nothing happens. Does anyone familiar with this rig know of what might have happened?

But yeah, when I playblast it I start hearing songs in my head and him walking to the beat. I might add some music as it progresses.

Hmm, a rig like this one had this problem. I'm not sure if it's this particular one though.

Okay, well I figured you might be a good person to ask considering your using it as your avatar. Im using the hogan rig for another animation and the same thing happens that happened with the robot rig. I posed him in the first frame and then selected the hierarchy and set a key for whole rig. Now none of the controllers work anymore. Its like setting a key somehow turned off the effect the controllers have on the rig. Any thoughts?
