Hi Stefan, great shot :-)
I'm very happy to see your work on character-anim. Seems to me, that you're using nearly the same as I do. Except, that your feet bones are not in the skeletons level.

Ok.. here is a little first simple sample prj, with one of my ways of doing a walkcycle.. Also a couple of other things in this and some docs in the Levels... I have not much of energy.... But I thought I would do this one as a starter...(and build on it, with hopefully other prjs..) I have also thought of making some more prjs.. one with a basic and simple Inverse Foot setup...(Only Rotate around the ball of the foot added) Makes it easy to lift heel, for easy controlling the raising of the heel when leaving the floor... (I also have a working setup with rotate around heel, and around Toetip..., a more fully Inverse Foot setup, but this as with all things that can do more, then its more things to animate...) For most animations the more complex setups are not needed..it can many times just take away the fun and the flow of animating.. =) The thing is also that, due to the cool IK Object Thingy, my setup dont need any script (at least not for basic and intermediate setups..) it works due to Hierachy structure.. (I have looked at other sw setups, and thought of how to make things work in RS..and came up with some promising stuff..) Also a prj with a more complete character rig setup, (Still basic) (With different Arm and Hands setup in it..) Still.. much of this and more should have been shared a long long time ago.. =(.. (Every time I have seen Char Anim, or walkcycle problems on the list over the last years.. I have really felt bad, since I had much of it already working... but have had no energy at all..=( sorry ) and also soon most will be redundant when Carlos plugin comes along.. when it does..(RealPuppet) Well I hope some can have some use of this prj and docs.. (if not, then may just to get your own ideas..) If something is wrong and/or is not working, plz let me know.. and if you wonder about something.. just ask..!
