Untitled

As you animate on the Center of Mass & Spine layer, viewports show the

original animation as a red stick figure with a box for a head.

3 On the Track Bar Shift+drag the new COM key to make a copy of it at

frame 13 and frame 25, the other two Down frames in this cycle.

4 Go to frame 7, the Up state, and move the COM to a point that

is higher than the original animation.

Raised COM for the Up pose

IMPORTANTWhen you raise the COM, try to make sure that the limbs are

not extended too far: if they are fully extended, then Biped tends to generate

abrupt motion, which doesn’t look good or natural.

5 Shift+drag the new key from frame 7 to create a copy at frame 19.
