How do you stop the feet sliding when you animate a walk cycle? It's a question often asked by students starting out at Animation Apprentice. The answer is a little technical, so here is a video which explains how to tackle the problem. It runs about 10 minutes, and should help explain how to get it right first time, and stop those feet from slipping around. Also check out the free Lock To World Tool to stop feet from sliding.
