In this very short tutorial (just two minutes long) we show how to use "Infinity Curves with Offset" in Maya. Let's say you animate a character taking two steps across the screen, and you want to replicate the action. By using Infinity Curves with Offset, you can replicate the motion automatically, and have the character take as many steps as you like. Once you're done, you can bake your curves, and then edit the shot.
