Hi all,

In my V3 folder, there's a "walking" pose folder, and in it is a single walking pose animation. 30 frames. (Can't remember where/how I got it, but I suspect it was from DAZ (or should that be "!DAZ" :-) )

But my question (as an inexperienced user of animation) is:

How far should V3 move forward during the animation?
As loaded, she "walks on the spot". Slippy-slidy and all (moon-walkers, watch and go green with envy!)

Experimentation has led me to believe that the distance should be somewhere near 2 ground-plane squares per 30 frames.

Am I correct? Or is there a specific value for Z-tran that is exact for a single 30-frame animation?

PS - I really only use the animation part when doing dynamic clothing, so it's not too serious if no-one knows the answer, I'm just curious..:-))

(2-ground-plane squares seems to work for most situations, and I'm really only interested in stills at present. I use the animation just to get the cloth to flow correctly)

Cheers,
Diolma
