Thanks man,

But I dont think so, still need to improve, well my plans is to animate a library of scenes and use the motion mixer to do the animation. Still need to do some more texturing as well.

Hmm, still the jerk,,, Man,,, a smooth motion is not easy... Oh well think i will try a running one, and then try to mix them up... As for the side view,,,, see what i can do. As i dont think he will be walking much,,, more like jogging or some complex move,,,, Now i am thinking battle auras...... Or maybe model an animal to accompany him,,,, I should not think too much as i might not be able to finish it... Hehe. Ok,, i think that his body need to move along,,, and not to mention hold his weapon.... Oooops forgot that one...

Default Rough Idea of final scene

Well i know this is crappy,,, but just uploded this to show what i am having in my mind. Well for the final scene,, will be like,, running, stop to slash,,, turn around to kick, then camera zooms away. He,,, chases,,,, and sunddenly,, crouchs to blast off a leap and then hurls the axe at the camera,,, and finally spinns his way with the spikes,, pointed towards the camera.. Well you wont see all of that on this one,,,, just part of it,,, i know its jerky and needs working a lot, but this is a rough idea.

Man this isnt easy.... Really starting to respect the animators now... And this is my first time,,, so go easy on me....

Yeah,,,, i know,,, animation is not easy.... But the Graph Editor is a great help,,,, Well still get some unwanted deformations,,,, even though i did the weight mapping.... But its small so guess not really noticable.. Guess i will try some more moves,,, and really explore till i get a nice smooth motion.
