I've bitten the bullet and created a couple of Genesis3 male character scenes similar to ones I've done with M4, Genesis and Genesis2 but the walk cycles I use for those simply don't work well at all with Genesis3. Are there any Aniblocks for Genesis3? Especially interested in walk cycles.

SKAmotion makes walk cycle aniblocks for G3F, I don't know of any for G3M.
But since a walk cycle is typical only 30 frame or so, you could bake a G2M walk cycle aniblock to the timeline and then save each frame separately numbering them sequentially, then use this script to convert all the individual saved frames to G3M, then animate your walk cycle frame by frame using the newly saved frames, and then resave it as an aniblock. It sounds a little tedious, but for 30 frames of so, it shouldn't take very long at all. Probably a half hour if that.
Posermocap has some in their packages. They are in the store. Another new one out soon.

looks promising
If you want an everyday girl walk cycle thats not a sexy runway/hi heel strut.
See my store at the link below my post
Thank you all. All these are interesting but each has drawbacks. I'm specifically looking for a simple slow walk cycle without forward motion for G3 Male that works with the "aniMate2" tool. I'm currently using the "Slow Walk on Spot" that came with the "MS-Lycan" character. If it comes to it I'll have to learn how to make my own aniBlocks from captured poses as described above.
Hi My advice is this:
Spend $7.50 and get this bundle from Bonetech3D, it has many walk in place aniblocks
for the G2 male

Get the FREE script discussed in this thread:
https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/109961/pose-and-animation-conversion-for-multiple-generations-of-daz-figures/p1
Use that script to auto transfer your newly purchased G2 male walks to the G3 male
Save as aniblock for G3 male
I can confirm that it works great!!!!
Its actually vol 3 that has the walk in place aniblocks not vol 2. Unfortunately its not on sale at the moment. (vol 2 is all different types of sprinting/ running), Within Vol 3 its subdivided into Locomotion Variety Pack vol 1, 2, 3 (the walk in place cycles are in Locomotion Variety pack vol 2 found here), but this is not the same as the separate Vol 2 which you linked to. I have all the volumes, and the labeling is very confusing. And thanks for the link to the script, I wish I had seen that sooner.
Ruphuss, thanks for the link - that looks interesting. Wolf359 thanks for the link to the script. I couldn't find it earlier this week when I was looking for it.
did somebody really try it ?
i did
it gives a lot of options but is not ready i think
because the dev doesnt advertise
and i do not understand how to do this paypal paying
It looks interesting but his website looks like some throwback to the early 1990's and I cant easily find any pricing information.
Poor presentation.
Yes, this looks interesting. At least the "Walk It" and "Sprite It" tools might be useful to me. But what do you mean by the "paypal paying" I downloaded it but not tried to install it yet and haven't seen any need to pay anything yet.
walk it - I just tried it and seems ok so far, slightly comparable to poser's 'walk designer' quality wise. When you go to save on the demo it opens a purchase page...
How much do they want to charge you? By the render? Or by the app.?
No use to me then.
I use Iclone pro for my walk cycles
and retarget them to my preferred G2 figures
£9.99 to unlock the plugin ....dont know why they're shy to put the price on the product page
Thank you. I'm considering it.
Well I'm not for or against it, so to speak. I would say its ok for an basic auto walk with a few options (from my limited experience of it) , but if you want more natural/realistic maybe DSDT and Wolf's suggestions
Well, I did finally buy "WalkIt" and it does work, but it's totally absent any meaningful documentation. I can figure out some of the stuff but there's just way too much guess work involved, and I'm totally lost on what that top section of controls does. English doesn't seem to be the author's first language and what documentation there is, is micro-minimal and clumsy. And the website is primitive and fails to deliver convenience. And after paying with PayPal his site rejected my purchase. I had to email him and he said he fixed it so it would give me a license key, but it still doesn't work so I had to use a manually generated key he emailed back to me. Not very happy, even for the reasonable price. Newer version of "WalkIt" is supposedly available in June but unless there's a trial or it's free I'm going to look for other options.
as i ve said i dont know how to to this paypal thing with its pop up
and maybe he didnt know his product was discovered now
but if this works with all its options well theres nothing comparable in the daz world for us animators
making footsteps for the path is great
I'm not a poser or iclone user so i do not know nothing about that
and it wouldnt help me
