Good animation! I especially like the lighted path.  About the motion: it
does give a nice organic feel, though it might work better with slightly
rounded paths.

I don't know the specifics of your system, but I wonder if you couldn't just
use a spline.  With a spline the float value would corispond to a place in
time, and then you have <x,y,z> deffined for any time you ask for.  Being
able to pass a spline as a parameter to your IK system would be pretty
slick!
