Walk Cycle

I found a website which talks you through basic walk cycle techniques.A walk cycle can be described by four distinct poses: CONTACT, RECOIL, PASSING and HIGH-POINT. This is a contact pose.

The feet are at their furthest extension in the walk. That is their most extreme position in the cycle. That alone makes this the most critical pose in the sequence.

This shows the keyframes of a walk cycle moving across the screen. The most important pose is the contact pose.
