What You Will Learn

Using one basic wide-stance pose, you will learn how to create the illusion of a character running through a scene.

Why Is This Important?

When first learning the run animation recipe in White Hat recipes, we used a zig-zag pattern to make the Clay Glob look like it was running. We extend the same idea to a posed body here. Instead of zigging and zagging, we tip the character back and forth with a waddle as we use the fast spacing for it’s forward motion. This move will do for many of your running needs.
