Stride Length In Actions


RS3D

Recommended Posts

I used to be able to get a reference grid to appear when using the stride length option in an action.

 

The one I am referring to is: (from the A.M. reference manual)

 

From a Bird’s Eye view, a reference grid is visible beneath the character’s
feet (it can also be seen from a side view, but offers better visual feedback
from Bird’s Eye). Stepping through the frames (use the scrub bar, frame
buttons, or the and keys on the numeric keypad) will cause this grid
to move forward/backward. By lining the foot up with one of the lines on the
reference grid, any adjustments that are necessary can be made to the
character’s stride to prevent slipping.

 

It no longer appears when I work with the stride length. Is there another option setting or other feature that needs to be activated for it to re-appear?

Silly question, but... you have "Has Stride Length" ON and it's not appearing?

I figured it out. When I upgraded sometime in the past the default color background appearance is Animation Master which has a black background color.

Evidently, the reference grid color needs a light background color like Macintosh, etc. The reference grid does not change to white on black for the

the standard Animation Master color schemes. Kind of tricky to figure out, but it seems to work for everything except the Animation Master color scheme.
