Animating a Biped In Cinema 4D
Hi, newbie here.
Is there any plugin or module for Cinema 4D that can hep me build the bone structure of a Biped and also help me animate the basic moves (walking, running, etc) without having to manually keyframe everything?I know about Mocca and I guess it is cool for building a skelton for your model, but does it have the ability to animate it for you?
I think 3dsmax has a biped that can move around. You only set the parameters (you tell it where to step, etc.) and then the biped does its thing without further manual tweaking.I need somehing similar for C4D.
Thanks!

AFAIK there is no auto rigging/auto animating function for Cinema at this time.

Damn…
This sucks big time. -

No, I haven’t heard of this thing.
Can it do auto-animation of the basic movements? -
I don’t think so — it’s for rigging. Jannis LaBelle is working on a walk designer-type plugin for Cinema but it’s not commercially available yet.

That’s exactly the thing I am looking for.
Too bad it’s not available yet.It’s very strange that there are no C4D plugins for this kind of job.
I think that this is a very important function. Especially for newbies like myself who can’t create a naturally waking biped on their own._

There are ways to do — by going through Poser, Motion Builder, or Daz, or by importing mocap data directly and applying it to a rig. I think Dosch also sells preanimated C4D figures if that would help. But I agree that there’s a hole that needs filling.

OK, thanks.
I think I will give this Motion Builder thing a try.
