Important Notes - Please consider this before you purchase:

• Blender - Foot-Work Addon was developed in Blender 4.2.3 LTS.
  Due to some API changes, It's probably not working correctly in previous version.
  In newer version, it should work. If you encounter any problem, please let me know.
• Rig - the addon only works with any armature that is animated with IK bones.
  The armature should have Root Bone, Torso Bone, optional IK Feet and Toes.
  A walk cycle with only FK Bones does not work. If you have animated with FK bones, try to convert it IK bones first.
• Bones Axis - Currently the IK bones' axis should be consistent. Take Rigify for example, where -Y points forward and Z points upward, these are consistent from root to torso and feet. Some rig has different orientation between these bones. Foot-Work Offset cannot work in this situation. I'm working find a solution. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.0
• Animation - Foot-Work Addon is NOT a walk cycle generator.
  You should have your walk cycle animation ready before using this addon.
• NLA - The addon does not work with NLA. Locomotion cycle should be baked onto current action.
