Is anyone interested in a walk/run guide in 3DS Max format? Also do you think I should include a tutorial on how to use it?

It's to help in making run/walk animations for game engines that require the character to stay in one place. It's meant to be used for bi-pedal characters for now. I am working on a quadraped one in spare time.

I have it ready, I just want to know if anyone would like a tool like this.

A Lightwave version is on the way...

Also, it can be used for animations that don't have to be in place...

Yeah, that sounds interesting. I'd like to see what it's about.

I forgot to add:

What it's supposed to do is greatly aide in reducing the amount of feet sliding in game content.

If you're into games, you know what I am talking about.

Yea absolutely. I was just reading in game developer how the team for Ratchet and Clank used such a tool to reduce sliding. I would put it to use,

Yeah, that's what got me to thinking and making one for Max and Lightwave...

I'll go ahead and start the HTML and stuff, then post it.
