First of all, many, many thanks to Martin for his Track_axis.py script!!
Here is a script to have an insect walk, following the movements of a proxy (a bit like Walk-O-Matic): http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ml.wibaux/insect-walk-0.4.py
Main functionalities of the script - Generates the body and leg tip empties, and writes the corresponding IPOs? (generates both position and rotation of the leg tip empties, allowing for best result: see constraints in the example below and in the tutorial).
- Allows for different proxies (animate them in the same blend, get animated insect crowds).
- Allows for 6 and 8 legged insect, with body description.
- GUI.
- Does not work in 2.28 or 2.28a: I can't fix the crash caused by object.link(ipo) icon_frown.gif
Here is an example blend, with small HowTo?: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ml.wibaux/ant-0.3.blend.
