Wow, that is a lot of work and everything looks awesome.

Hey Wolf359, Very nice indeed..... Everythiing looks smooth and well done. Gonna have to look for the "Galactus Rising" you mention. Do you have a link to the Galactus Rising, I can't find it on Youtube?

Aaaahhh.... I just learned when you have a "NLA strip" selected and you press "N" it brings up a lot more options for the NLA strips like , repeat, blend modes etc. Cool , I new this was somewhere.

Hey Guys, haven't done much with blender in the last couple of weeks but I played with NLA strips today with some success. I got a little frustrated the last couple of times I played with NLA in blender so the progress was nice.
I used the separate NLA strips for the walk cycle, moving him forward, turning his head, clenching left hand and moving his right hand to his face. I found out how to scale, duplicate, move and transition Strips but don't know how to overlay strips smoothly, blender seems to totally override the NLA strips sometimes. More learning is required.....

Thanks for this.. . Glass and Reflections seem to be a pain in blender.

Hey , the bed looks a lot better now. Nice job...

Yes, I have older versions on my computer as well as the newer versions

Okay blenderites, Another update, I animated by hand the boy walking up to a bench and then sitting down. This was all keyframed so I didn't have issues with foot slippage. I added this clip to the previous animation so there is now 15 seconds of animation. I think this last clip looks a little more natural.

Hmmm. This looks useful, hopefully it works well.

LuxXeon, thanks, I will definitely look at this video.

Hey , Just posting an updated video of my character walking with these changes

1. I flattened the walkway so I wouldn't have to worry about the feet going through the ground.
2. Constrained the character walk along a path , took a while but figured out how to do this.
3. I still created the walk cycle in place, then moved him along the path.
4. It was fairly easy to adjust the end point of the path until the feet didn't slip too much. Making slow progress

Here is the Video

Hey LuxXeon , thanks. I started a tips folder for using Blender and this is going in it as well as your previous post..

Hey , just another animating update of the character walking along the path. I animated the walk cycle stationary (not moving forward) then when I was happy with the walk cycle I just created keyframe for start of path then moved him to the end of the path with a new keyframe. I adjusted the endpoint distance until I got the least amount of foot slippage in my opinion. I don't know how little slippage you can get this way but I will have to hand animate every step forward as there is too much slippage.

Also, since the path is not totally flat it was hard to keep the feet on the ground. Do you guys know if there is a shadow catcher Add-on or do I have to use shader tricks to create a shadow catcher? Again used few keyframes in this test animation. See the video below.

Hey , Another update . I worked on a background or scene for the animation , it is a park setting. I used the Sapling Add-on which was okay but it took a while to figure out how to use the Particle system and keep the leaves from disappearing. Also, worked on the lighting a bit as there seems to be quite a bit of difference between Eevee and Cycles. I want to use Eevee. Overall going okay but things like reflections and transparency seem overly complex to learn . Here are a couple of images of the character in the scene.
