This is an overview to properly setting up and animating a humanoid character walk cycle.
The first step is to adjust the pivot points of your character.
Use the following diagram as a reference. (The green dots represent the pivot points)
The next step is to set up your humanoid’s hierarchy.
Use the following diagram as a reference. (Arrows indicate Parent/Child structure)
The final step is to animate the humanoid walking. Using the following diagram as a reference, position your humanoid as shown, at the specified frames on the timeline (Be sure to depress the animate button first).
The walk cycle setup should be done in the Left and/or Right viewports only.
The only items you will need to animate your humanoid are the Hierarchy window and the Rotation trackball. The Move tool will only be used to animate the pelvis (aka: entire humanoid figure) of your character up and down – as the red lines show.
