Here is how to Animate a Human Walk Cycle in Blockbench in under 10 minutes. Learn realistic animations with this super fast tutorial. Animating good movement is about learning key poses and expression. This Blockbench tutorial teaches you how to add natural movement to your walk animation, bring your model to life, and how offset creates the walking effect.

When you animate with keyframes your models truly comes to life. Do you want to make a realiatic animation? Then there is a secret benefit with keyframe animation in Blockbench. You can combine linear animations with curves. This is how proffesionals bring models to life, and how to make a much more realistic result.
You will learn to become good at animating in Blockbench in just 10 minutes. Practice is key to mastering natural animation, but you can make really high quality much faster if you learn about the secrets and tricks of how to animate realistic animations. The generalist game developer ArtsByKev make unique tutorials tailored for Minecraft content creators to aquire new skills super fast.
In this video I use a software known as "Blockbench". Blockbench is a 3D modeling software for Minecraft and Voxel Graphics. In this video you will see how to use Blockbench to animate a realistic human walk animation for Minecraft and games. Walk animations are easy to animate, and you can learn how to make your own walkcycle really fast. The most important part of animating a natural walk cycle for two legs is to focus on timing and poses. Have you seen any of the earlier episodes? That's a good tip if you want to become professional today with your Blockbench models. I am here to teach you to texture with Blockbench and begin to create fantastic Minecraft skins for vanilla MC and Bedrock Edition.
Are you new to Blockbench? Tell med own in the comments and let me know what you would like to see me create. As a marketplace developer I do have a lot of projects going on, but getting inspired by this wonderful community is hands down the best thing I know when creating new video content!
Blockbench is a free to use software. If you have not already installed the 3D modelling software on your computer to create Minecraft Bedrock Models or custom Minecraft mobs, then download it via this link:

[@ArtsByKev]

Loop, but beware they can stack ingame if played simultaneously (if you play two animations by clicking the little play button nextto an animation, and then another one's, you'll see the effect of them applying at the same time). I mention this because looping needs to be cancelled ingame.

I would love to see what changes you make for running as well. I imagine it involves a greater leg bend and explosion upward, somehow resulting in a greater amount of time in the air. Not sure how to adjust the existing walk cycle though…. Would you be up for a run cycle for dummies?

You can control such a value from ingame (in some cases). Other approach is to craft a lerp curve, since that's how such momentum builds up: slow start, rapid speed development, ease in once reaching top speed

[@AminalCreacher]

I've noticed that the smooth interpolation doesn't seem to work on the first and last frames of a looping animation, creating a jagged moment every time it loops. Is there a way to fix this?

[@ArtsByKev]

It's because it uses a pre-curve to define initial movement. At the start and end of an animation you achieve a 0 point with no continuation. This makes a smooth keyframe interpolate towards the initial/final value + it's expected post/pre curve, without that curve ever becoming present in actual animation context. The short answer is no.

[@AminalCreacher]
