bear-crawl-backward
A flat-back bear crawl moving backward (opposite hand/foot), knees hovering. Translate root while OMITTING faceDeg so the heading holds.
Composes: move-arm + move-leg + move-torso
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. Make z more negative; do NOT set faceDeg. Keep root.y~-0.45.
- Torso forward (
Spine+X~55); drive opposite hand and foot back together.
durationMs ~2600.

Limits & posture
Keep โฅ1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support โ see balance-and-posture.
