Walking animation in Pokemon GO

I really like how they did that.
Anyone have any info on the tools Niantic Inc used to do the walking?

(…if only there was a way to capture some of it to make an olskool isometric sprite-sheet… )

They probably just used a 3d modeling program like Blender or Maya and animated the walking by hand. Nothing special.

Funny that I see this subject, but every time I see the walking animation I think of Orianna ( a robot ) from League of Legend’s walk.

You can see it here ._.

How the fuck is that relevant at all?

Is this a difficult thing to pick up and learn?
The truth is that I suck at pixel art (…and drawing in general)

Depends on the person, I personally think it’s not. Granted getting good at a bunch of things it difficult, because usually time is a limiting factor.
