Another Alice Tip
It’s worth poking around through the different objects to find out what they can do. Not all objects are created equal. For instance, if you use the he/she builder, they come with a walk method. The penguin can walk, the cat can do a couple different functions, etc. This may make programming more “real” animation a little easier.

Who neds them pre-programmed? Walking is easy enough to accomplish. The script for it takes all of 5 minutes to compose.
example:
at same time:
turn right leg backwards 1/4 turn duration 0.5
turn right “lower leg” forwards 1/4 turn duration 0.5
at same time:
reverse that and do the same with other leg. to get fancy, get some foot movement in there, and maybe even some body movement, depending on what you want.
If you have multiple characters that need it, clipboard it, paste it in a new function, and just change the subjects to thte appropriate character/part.
But its a good heads up, none the less =-)
