Many thanks.
I will post like that from now on.
Poser walk designer did the animation. I just tweaked the settings a bit so that it would have an unusual gait.

I haven't been able to do much things with poser, and I haven't installed it on my new OS.
I have done some walkcycles in Blender, but not yet any running cycle. I wish I could be able to do something so fluent !
I have to say that this animation is very nice !

Thanks. I used to think Poser was "cheating." But I have learn't that software is constantly evolving to make our lives as artists more efficient. I used to hand draw animation run cycles for He Man Masters of the Universe and anything on the computer was considered "easier and cheating." But the process of having to hand draw every frame to get a "smooth" walk with character has helped when the software comes out with a walk cycle built in.... you understand what to tweak more and get to be a little more experimental.
Anyways... thanks for the kind words. My advice... as an old fart... is keep trying to smooth it out in blender as much as you can as you will learn the physics and timing of a walk and what makes it unique and when you get the next button that does it for you you will be better prepared to really have some fun with it.

Yeah... A looooooong time ago. Actually it was Shera "Princess of Power." HeMan's twin sister.
There was a studio in Resda California. I was a lowly assistant animator. It was a great learning experience.... but a real sweat shop.

Yeah I watched that one:) Really liked it back then. I even remember sound theme (really catchy):) heheh
He man was one of first animated series I watched as a kid:) and yes it was loooong time ago ( here in my country it started broadcasting on tv somewhere at the end of the '80s if i remember correctly) I even collected action figures:)
Wow. I never thought that I will meet someone who worked on it:) Gotta tell this to my friends:) heheh
P.S. I always wanted to model Gray scull. Do you have maybe some good references to share?

EDIT
It was He-Man and She-Ra: Secret of the Sword
Never actually watched She-Ra Princess of power.
