Note:  I have the "go" command aliased, but just in case you have any trouble, try "wmaGo".  It is case sensitive.

This is a MEL program that automatically animates Biped, , Quadraped, Bird, Centaur and a Spider without using IK or any of that other crap that takes forever to set up . . . In this case, all you do is click a button on the shelf, choosing a biped or quadraped, and it creates the skeleton for the character AND when you press the play button the character walks or runs. The quadraped also hops or gallops. It is all done via MEL, so it does not require any fooling with IK, and it has "Stabilization" (it adds bones that allow the character to move freely without major distortions in the character skin), which minimizes having to paint skin weights.

When created, the bones are in the pose position, and you then attach the character to it, hit Play, and the character walks or runs away. Just like that . . . . if you hit rewind, you can Re-pose the character. You can make the character walk or run in any direction, or create a crowd of characters, all walking or running in different directions.   You can manipulate all the fingers of each hand at once, to open or close the hand or you can control the fingers individually.

I have added an Install Tutorial for anyone who has difficulty installing the program . . . the install tutorial starts by showing you how to find where the folder is that you need to unzip the scripts into. If you have not seen my videos for this program, they are on youtube, just click on the Homepage URL above. If you prefer written instructions or you want to read the FAQ, look for the Install file.

I am no longer working on this project, I am working on building a windows-based program in Visual Basic.  Details on it are top-secret until publish time . . . .
