I've finally finished the maths side of 'IKman' (a not very exciting name),
and I'm quite proud of the outcome. Now that the maths done I'm hoping to
give him a body (where I could think about other movements including feet) -
what do you think of him?
I've got plans to do other stuff with him - I'd like to try walking as well
as jumping and then possibly moving upwards to some full on acrobatics!

Looks good.
If you're going for a natural looking running movement, fix the angle
between upper arm and fore arm. The faster the running the smaller the
angle, but during the running the angle stays (almost) constant. Only
arm movement comes from the shoulder.
Watch the atlethics this week, especialy if they use the camera that
moves along with the atletes.

Looks good, but it needs a little more bounce. Also, elbows tend to point out
when you run. Good job on the ik part though. I haven't had a computer since
July 4 (DON'T TAKE YOUR MACINTOSH TO COMPUSA), so my attempt on the ik idea has
been on hold for a while, but I know how hard it is. My last attempt and
scene-files are posted in this group and p.b.s-f some time around June. Keep
it up.
