With the lower half working nicely, it was time to work on the arms. It seems that posing the arms at three points (each contact, and the passing postion) is enough to give a natural looking swing. Though the Richard Williams 2-d walk cycle guide obivously has arm poses for each stage of the cycle, Softimage inbetweens well for a simple arm swing.
Im pleased with this walk, it looks relatively natural and realistic despite the obvious cartoon nature of our character, and it was simpler to achieve than I expected. So I went on to have a little fun with characterised walks, which I shall post in due course.
