So I've followed the basic walk sequence tutorial, and everything was great and clear and all that, but suddenly, the author becomes vague and I lose him!!!
He says "Now comes a bit of work. Move to each of the next 3 poses. Advance the frame number by 4 each time, and position your skeleton to match. Then make 5 more key poses after that, this time with the left and right legs in the other's position. When you're done you'll have a complete walk cycle."
Sorry, but he's being incredibly vague by saying "move to each of the next three poses..." What next three poses?? There are only like two further up the page, and it doesn't make sense.
Then he says "position you skeleton to match". . . match what??
So can anyone clarify on this vague writing? It would've been better if the author didn't somehow assume I now knew what I was doing, because I don't! I have two slots of poses, a split second of a walk. What now?
Thanks

With 'the next 3 poses', would it be talking about the leg positions further up the page? The five screenshots in a line at the bottom of 'What is a walk cycle'
Not having done that tutorial more than once, i've forgotten what I did at certain stages...
"position you skeleton to match" is basically saying move the bones into those positions shown above.

the second image on the page shows a skeleton in 5 poses, your meant to use that for positioning you skeleton.

oh ok, that helps, then.
Before I got an answer, I just went ahead and did it anyhow, and it turned out alright anyhow...I think...
