Despite the simplified walk, it looks pretty good. You did a great job
of simulating the way a real non-linear walk looks. (I tried walking
around the room a couple of times.) Amazingly, I was just beginning to
work on the character I had made a while ago in order to make little
guys walk through the mirror puzzle I posted in p.b.i. Keep up the
great work!
My one question is whether this is a persistent animation or a regular
clock-based animation. I would assume that it is clock-based, right?
