Wow, this was hard to do. Not because the material itself is difficult, rather CamStudio and XviD just don’t work properly on Vista. Even with a different screen recorder, XviD failed. This obviously has to do with the well known DivX issues on Vista. So, not being able to use my good machine, I used my much slower laptop – hence the wide screen format of this video and the slow response time of Blender. The video also has the video/audio time delay towards the end which I’m not too pleased with even after lowering the audio quality from 16 to 8 bits (so this might lead to a re-do of the video). I would try to tweak the audio syncing in CamStudio were it not for the fact that the audio gets worse the longer the video is, so the sync issue is nonlinear. I know it’s because I use mp3 encoding, but it leaves the smallest file size footprint of all the audio compression types I’ve tried. Sorry to ramble on… you can find the video in the usual place under the Compositing/Rendering section.

   Hello, I just wanted to thank you. Briliant job you are doing here on Genome. All tutorials are very handy and useful. Mainly because they are not concerning basic stuff but rather usage of all new features in Blender.

   If I may have a wish it would be great to provide some tutorial on new Blender walkcycle features. I no how to use old stride bone but still did not discovered new posibilites.

   Thank you once more

   Good luck
