Anima axyz - Running on spot/ running machine

[william.morris]

Hello,

We have the full anima subscription and creating a gym animation.

I cant find one, but has any one come across in the library of people a 4D person running on the spot that could be put on a running machine.

or is there anyway to get the rigged character to run on the spot?

Many Thanks

Hello william.morris,

Thanks for your message.

One of the options available on the new 4D walking models is the ability to make them move “in place,” without applying any translation. That has been a feature much requested by users who often populate gyms with treadmills. Now you can do that by dropping a 4D walking model outside its path and then activating the “move in place” option as you can see in the following example video:

• Video Tutorial - How to set the 4D walking actors to move in-place

Alternatively, you could also do it on Rigged models by downloading a running (or similar) animation from Mixamo with the "In Place" option enabled and then import that animation in Anima and set it up as a standing animation. In the links below you will find more information about this process, but please note that these articles explain how to import motions with the "in place" option disabled, so keep in mind the difference:

• Anima Docs - Set up a Motion Clip with Mixamo
• Anima Docs - Import Custom Motion Clips - Animations

If you need more information, please let me know.

Hi Albert,

Thank you very much, that is exactly what I am after!!

The Mixamo motions are also amazing, as that answers another question I had, which was to get a character to swim!

Much appreciation for the reply!
