Further progress on the run cycle. Both hands on the sword now. Multiple strides to make up the entire loop - to add variety to the motion. And a pass on locking the feet down. Upper body needs a lot of love still (like that ik-popping left arm.) Still a ways to go.
Updated. Addressed the IK popping left arm, toned down his jerky head motion, got his shoulder armor under control, and started adding some secondary jingle-jangle animation to his armor and outfit. I need to skin this guy before long. That's starting to bother me, heh. I would like to be on to his emote by next week.
