Kevin Gales: Have you tried using IK? You can lock the feet with it. Here's a simple example:

[Kevin Gales]

@Steve  Cool I'll check it out...although I am not a fan of ik I tried it...always goes sideways however I believe it would have been better if it were both fk and ik

[Kevin Gales]

Nice ik setup It's not so bad after all I guess I wasn't paying much attention to limits to prevent distortion  ...I didn't know you can lock ik chain position in anim8or this is new   

[Steve]

Also you can use fk with ik.

I'm also trying to add constraints such as keeping a joint >= 0, which would help walking a lot. But I still have a few bugs to fix before it's ready to use.

Sounds great...

That's a good model Kevin! (Sorry I can't add any useful tips but I just felt the need to say that!)

@davdud101 Thank you..

Hi Kevin

You might want to see if you can get that model to pretend she is the lead singer of a rock band!  I am in the process of trying to create 3D characters for a cartoon(3D) animated rock band.  She can run around jump, do cartoony stuff and sing in a mic.  To show you what I mean, I used a program called Muvizu to make this video:

I want more customized characters than the ones available with Muvizu.

[Kevin Gales]

Ohh that's pretty cool...I'll try something out when I get time...

It lets you import models too? Is it original music Blick?

 If you go with a band, in anim8or you can add a bone at about chest level and add the guitar/ or other instrument, to that. (like a saxophone, trumpet, or other instrument that moves with the players body.)

 Its a lot of fun making, animating a band, especially if you like music as well, and there's a lot of stuff to work-around and learn from.
  Just a really cool thing to do.
