Not sure the BEST way to approach this..say I create 1 animation cycle like a walk, I want it to loops a few times then go into another different walk or run..should I create both animations seperately then merge them together, or work it in 'one' scene and use copy/paste..but that brings up problems with cycling animations getting out of sync over longer frames. Hmm..

I`d use Maya Trax Editor or even better - Story in Motionbuilder. You create 2 clips - walk cycle and run cycle and then you loop and blend them togather in editors I`ve mentioned.

Thats a good idea I didn't even think of Motion Builder! Thanks for the tips!
