animation
 

How would you animate a running dog.

Just using keyframes and vertex,
keyframes and joints, and ik handles,
using the trax editor

using all of it

what i the best way?

please help

thanks

P.S. I'm not looking to make a amazing animation just something decent

kasdor

is it rigged? If its rigged, just select the curves and animate using the control curves. If its not rigged, ...good luck! lol

And yes animate using keyframing the curves which control the joints, in turn the joints obviously control the geometry.

Im guessing by this post you havent done alot of animating, so check out
