I know it has a ways to go, but I might get there quicker with your help. I haven't done many walk cycles, so my eyes are still learning what to change. Thanks for your help!

No comments or advice? Is it really that good? I'm really curious to hear some opinions! Thanks!

Its a good starting point, the arm thats not holding the skim board needs some more swing to it instead of facing the same way thru the whole walk cycle, rotate the wrists some more at the end of each arch. I would suggest going in your graph editor and smoothing out your keys a bit because it feels very linear right now, could tell where all your keys are. Also, the feet seem to be sliding a bit on the floor, for that look at your Z translation for the feet and make sure that from the point or key the foot touches the ground till it lifts back off should be a linear line in your graph editor. Keep it up, just some minor fixes man, you skim board?

Thanks for your input, Outcast. I'll work on the arms and the graph editor to smooth this out. Yeah, I'm a skimmer. I'd like to get this character to the point where I could have him run and jump on the board. I skim out at Cocoa Beach a lot, but the waves usually suck there, and I never have time to get down to Sebastian. I guess I can live vicariously through my character.

Thanks!
