: References for posing a walk cycle? I want to make my own custom sprites for RPG Maker MV, and right now I'm using DesignDoll for proportions and such. I'm trying to pose copies of the models

If you want to controll the angle, one option is that you download Daz3D that is free, and buy a walk cycle animation.
www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=walk%20cycle
There are diferent types of walk cycles, for example fashion walking,
using high heels, etc.

Some of them has videos, so you probably could use that.

Another brand is iClone's, that can be used on iClone and crazyTalk Animator:

Crazy Talk allows you to put a pseudo-3D character, this is, a character with front, back, lateral and 45° views, so that is probably useful.

In my opinion there are some good ones, if they are made with motion capture or a skilled artist. Sometimes the render looks ugly, but separate the look of the render to the walking cycle.



Another option is to make a simple youtube search: "People walking". Forget the cycle part.
www.youtube.com/results?search_query=people+walking
You can find some details and complete your study.

Try to use different words... Slow Motion? Sports? Champion? Businessman? Businesswoman? Sexy? Bad A..?

They do not need to be all of the same person... it is a walking cycle, so study the cycle, not the model.
