Motion Mixer Tutorial (Lightwave): Using it to move your character

I figured a lot of people might be curious as to how motion mixer can be used to move around characters, so I created this tutorial. It pretty much outlines my workflow for this plugin. I hope Lightwave users find it useful!

This technique was only sorta used in EP 004 of my series Delura, I didn't figure out the null trick until after I finished animation for that installment.

Only thing I can say is that not many old time lw users know the stuff that you showed. I've not seen ikbooster and motionmixer used like that. You must eat, sleep, and breath lw,

@777lightwave It's a hobby :) I like to think I'm doing a fairly decent job of finding ways to improve my work with every production I do... even if its only a little bit. What I know is probably also a by-product of the fact that my only learning resources are those that are freely available... so I'm bound to cover ground that few others travel over or even consider (in this case, IKbooster and Motion Mixer). I have a hard time believing anyone wouldn't use IKboost though...

Nice tutorial.

I have not really ever used IK booster and never

used motion mixer, but I think I may start :)

Good job
