Balancerun

Download Free

A Blender add-on that animates rigged characters walking, trotting or galloping after a guide object.

What Balancerun does

Balancerun generates walking animation for rigged characters in Blender from a guide. You animate a single follow object, pick the foot IK targets, and the add-on produces hundreds of keyframes using natural gait rhythms and spring mechanics.

Parameters such as step time and swing intensity are set before everything is created with one button. Walk, trot and gallop rhythms are covered, and up to eight feet are supported, which allows two-legged and animal characters. Optional extra IK targets can swing while walking. Animators who need locomotion across a scene without keying each step will save time.
