Could you elaborate a bit? While it's not quite as simple as Nekar makes it
sound, I think it could be done using roughly the same technique as with
bipeds. However, I'm interested in hearing about possible problems I may
encounter.

That's easy for you to say! ;)

A given property of this server is that whatever I'm working on in its earliest
stages, Rune has already finished and published. ;)
Amazing work! I was trying something like that, but was so lazy as merely to
rotate the straight-line-walking character around a huge arc, introducing minute
feet slippage that I hoped no one would notice...
Q: what kind of spline works for you now? I resorted to linear ones a year or
so ago and your recent complaints about the one in 3.5 gives me no incentive to
"upgrade."

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...

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.

I've always thought your work is simply amazing, Rune. Part of the reason I'm
working on my gel simulation, in fact.
I can't wait to see the finished product.

Wow, thanks. :)

I get inspired by the works of lots of people around here, and I'd be happy
if anything I've made has inspired you!

I've never yet made an animation that is a finished product. Might take a
while yet before that happens...

????
Could you please post the code for how you represented the walk path?

Don't know if that's what you mean, but I've posted a simplified version of
the whole walking technique to povray.binaries.scene-files.
In return, could you tell me what you think of it? :)

Okay, but first of all, you have a totally different "path" in the code you
posted THERE than in the anim you posted HERE, yes?

No, in fact they're exactly the same. By "path" I mean this:
// The path to follow:
#macro WalkPath (Time)
vrotate(Time*x,180*Time*y)
#end
