I've done a bit on a horse jumping animation, producing a sequence that would slot seamlessly into the canter sequence I've posted in Freestuff. Not perfect yet, he's a bit lazy with the hind legs! The horse changes leading leg over the jump, so I've then made a canter sequence on the other lead to match (you can spot where it then switches back to the original sequence in this animation, if you look hard enough, I haven't yet done a change of lead pose sequence).

I wondered, then, how much interest would there be in a set of animated poses that could blend into one another like this (i.e. pace transitions such as whalt/walk, walk/trot, trot/canter on both leading legs, canter/gallop, walk/canter, corresponding downward transitions, the matching paces, lead changes at canter and so on). It could be expanded pretty much indefinately (paces and transitions done on the curve that also match up, for example). Would lots of people find it useful? Or is it too specialist?

Thank you to anyone with an opinion!
