frog-jump
From a deep squat with the hands down, leap forward, re-sink, leap again — like a frog.
Composes: bend-knees + move-leg + move-arm
How
- Use a
sequence with loop:false. Frame root is ABSOLUTE; compute the travel axis from state.position+state.faceDeg (0=+Z, 90=+X). The example assumes origin facing +Z.
- Beats: deep squat (
root.y~-0.45, arms forward/down), explode forward (root.y~0.3, z jumps), re-sink, finish to rest.
durationMs ~2000.

Limits & posture
Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
