Reply To: How to Deal with Knee Pop in a Walk Cycle?

@waylow : I stumbled onto something that seems to help and I’d like to get your opinion.

 By accident, I set the passing pose and ended up with the in-the-air foot ahead of the on-the-ground foot instead of behind it (with the knee in front) and it seems (to my eye, anyway) to be like a preemtive strike on knee pops. The foot’s motion curve is easily manipulated into an almost perfect arc and the walk seems quite smooth. Here’s what this accidental pose looks like (all others being more or less the same as the originals).

Here’s a link to the resulting walk cycle (not polished): https://youtu.be/YsRFQ-lejSA
