vmWalkingKit | How to use the tool

vmWalkingKit is an animation tool for Maya developed with Python for my Bachelor's Thesis. The tool's goal is to offer an interactive study about the theory behind walk cycles by providing the user with a playground to experiment with. This is achieved through an easy-to-use UI that allows the animator to tweak parameters in order to modify the end result of a character walking animation. The parameters are divided into sections representing the main parts of the body.

The program also comes with a set of tooltips and useful information regarding walking animations and the available parameters. This tool is heavily based on the theory of The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams; as it contains one of the best studies on the subject of walking.
