Animation walk/run cycles created in Carrara 8.5(Another Clip Added)

yes thanks i did exactly what you said and it work perfect that was a great illustration but how do you blend clips one clip to the next

3DAGE

that kind of depends on the clips,.

For example: you could have two clips in the timeline, and a Gap between them,. Carrara will blend or transition from the last pose in the first clip,. to the first pose in the next clip.

If it's a walking loop,. then it should auto blend between the clips if they're together (no gap)
BUT,.. how well that transition works depends on how the posing of the figures matches up,.. EG sitting down to Running will need an additional clip to help it transition,. or sometimes an NLA Pose, instead of an NLA clip.

I have a few situations where "Loop" doesn't match up properly during the Loop operation, causing a glitch in the animation. This is often due to my improper (I think) rescaling of the figure. To correct the issue, instead of checking the 'Loop' option, I need to load in the NLA clips one after the next, each time going into the panel on the right and clicking on the "Match Previous Position" button for the clip. Then I select 'hip' as the thing to track, and set it to End of previous Clip. Voila... fixed!

Yeah, they're a really nice journey through a method of the creation of a walk cycle.
He made that model in Carrara, too. Nice figure.
