Thanks for the screengrab, Brian. Also, I think something like a bird
hopping would be very helpful, so thanks for looking into that
animation file for me.
Here is an updated link of "I, Robot". I think he is making a
"little" bit more progress, but he still has a "gliding on ice" type
of effect (with feet that still go through the floor, although I can
adjust that later). Do you think I should be using a different type
of tweener for this? Currently I am using a bezier tweener with
default Ease IN-OUT and Tighten IN-OUT settings.
