1) That WalkPath is a spiral; it seemed to me like your anim was of an
intersecting loop.

2) Regarding your help to TonyB's idea for a new blobmon.  On January
13, 2001, I posted an anim of a system I'll give away in a heartbeat.
 news://news.povray.org/3a6e4923%40news.povray.org

It has:
a) FK & IK capabilities for both hands & arms.
b) construction based on painstaking copying of coordinates from
anatomical skeletons
c) pose/walk-parameter-file   and   object-parameter-file  capability
built in.
d) body parts move via transforms thus allowing blobs or CSG or
whatever.

I showed off its mobility with a cocky, freaky looking anim and some of
the reactions were probably to its freakiness moreso than its technical
achievement.

Then only catch as written is that the user  have to declare a
headobject, forearmobject, etc. Good for versatility, a pain to model,
especially to the precise scale my system required.  Hence I set aside
this version.  I feel more "ownership" over my more recent creation,
which is less technically astounding, but has more personality to the
blob face I've spent so much time on: hence I'd readily give away this
technically advanced skeleton for your helping along TonyB's project....
