Hey Mr T1ckle - Great work so far! Those textures really bring your model together. I have just started playing around with low poly models - at the moment I am building Silenus - but I am thinking of trying to build a low poly samurai next, so I am curious to see how you will deal with their armor while animating.

Your walk cycle looks good to me so far, but what do I know? That book that Mr jramauri suggests is certainly worth checking out. Lots of good info from a more traditional perspective.

I haven't played Rome Total War yet, but I have recently discovered Half Life 2 online which is lots of fun. I am keen to start fiddling with the Valve mod, but this is yet another area that I know nothing about...so much to learn!

Good work T1ck!
