The feet slide a little during the transition. This problem can be fixed

with the Mixer, but that's beyond the scope of this tutorial.

TIPIf you want to render this animation, hide the biped, select the mesh,

and turn on the MeshSmooth modifier on the Modify panel before rendering.

Summary

This tutorial introduced you to some of the essential components of character

studio: creating a Biped system, using the Physique modifier to skin the Biped,

animating the Biped in both freeform and footstep modes, and using the

Motion Mixer to combine animated clips that have already been created.

Animating with Footsteps

Footstep mode uses a unique footstep gizmo to control the contact of the foot

with the ground. When you move a footstep gizmo to a new location, the

animation updates to match the move.
