Hi Larry—

The video you link out to helps a little.

Clearly, you folks need a complete frame from which to draw; the project will never get done in bits and pieces.

I think I have a solution to provide our group with complete frames of a horse galloping, with a natural progression in the mane and tail areas.

I'm going to hand rig these parts, render an animation separate from the torso, and then use After Effects to wed the two animations.

This is not going to happen overnight!

Stay tuned in early 2013 (which isn't that far off)—

Gary
