Danny, Glad to be of some help. Thank you for making me think about backwards knees! I've played with walking before but not with concave legs. 27000 face legs! – that's a bunch of faces. Must be some fantastic geometry. I usually give up by then and try to replace geometry with texture and bump maps. A bunch of people would love to look at your results. A stripped down 3DS keyframer file is the most educational, but a low-res FLI would be great. Could you render a small segment with a linked camera & target that could be looped to repeat? That should show off the motion. JKJ
