Ok so I don’t actually know how to make a half decent tutorial and since MCs aren’t out yet lemme just put it in text.

Making a run cycle is actually pretty easy, with just these 3 steps!

1. Make your basic poses. Don’t move the body or the height yet.

2. Once you’re satisfied, then move the body and height accordingly. Make sure not to move the body too much, as it can look a bit off.

3. The best type of laziness is effective laziness. Once you have your 5 frames, simply copy paste the frame of the pose, and put the other limbs where the originals were, with slight adjustments so it isn’t pure cloning.

And viola! You got a run cycle!

Looks best in 15fps, but as long as you don’t go too high you won’t have to start adding frames.

If you’re on a lower frame rate, and you think the cycle is a bit too slow, simply remove the passing frame. Works most of the time for me.
