hello im new to this forum

im trying to create a walk cycle with Winsor with the "lock foot bone" technique

so i have him on the left side of the screen standing still, i lift his right leg up, then set it down, and lock the foot bone?

i can't seem to get this

i lift right leg up on frame 6, and set it back down on frame 12, then lock the right foot bone, but since the bone is locked i can't bring the body forward

any help would be appreciated, thanks

The foot lock technique need a body skeleton prepared for it. It would have the legs to be a child of the hip (the most root bone on the skeleton), and then the torso to be a child of the hip and the arms and the head/neck to be childs of the torso.
Once you lock the foot then you should move the hip into a new position. Then the body (arms head and the other leg also) would move but not the locked foot.
Later unlock the foot and lock the other foot and repeat the steps.
There are some tutorials in the forum regarding to walk cycles. Search them.
