How to Make a Walk Cycle in Blender
Blender 3D is a software used for modeling, animation and rendering. In most 3D applications, animating a 3D model is a difficult task, especially if you are trying to make the rigged figure walk in a realistic way. It often requires a great deal of tinkering on the part of the animator. However, in Blender the process is quick.

Repeat steps 3-5 from the current frame. Select a frame between the first two keyframes and adjust the feet so they seem to be hitting the ground realistically.

Insert another KeyFrame and copy the pose. Paste this pose (flipped) between the last two keyframes. Click "Play" to watch him walk the walk. Save your work.
