Well, your recent postings with your animated character inspired me to get
started on this walking business again. There have also been other times
where I've been inspired by you, for example back when you worked on that
flocking system. There's constant competition around here - I also see that
lots of people are working on particle systems now, just like I've been
doing...

Thanks! :)

My approach is radically different as you probably can tell... :)

In the animation I've just posted no splines were used at all, only simple
math operations.

But later on when I need more complex motion I'll probably use the cubic
splines in POV-Ray 3.5 despite the limitations. I only hope that the bugs
will soon be fixed.
