Kixum..did you hand animate that with noIK??? THAT IS INSANE!!! That means you indiviually moved all the parts yourself? That just ain't normal. Now I don't know what you did yet, but if you did is what I said above then your nuts... IK would make that so much easier and would be perfect for a skeleton, Plus when you put it in different poses you wouldnt have to micromanage your model. If you don't know how IK works you should learn it..it would save you a lot of time. here is a sample that I did last year...the walk cycle isn't perfect and its just a sample. Tripod is tricky so you may have to work to get this 1.5meg mpeg. Pasting this address into a new explorer window usually does the trick... http://brenthomer.tripod.com/robotwalk.mpeg
