If Sybex is taking notice of blender, it will help studios to take it seriously. Thank god for the GPL or blender would be snatched out of our hands just as it's ripening. This is very good news.

Best solution is using rubber soils in your shoes. My 2 cents. I've been dealing with sliding feet myself. Best solution is using rubber soils in your shoes.

I am not sure but I think they use the stride bone function to avoid "ice-skating" walkcycles @ IanR:

As for sliding feet, there's not one but two ways described to avoid sliding feet. So, sliding feet: check. Tony Hi,

There's a chapter on Elephants Dream production files, which describes some of what I thought were especially interesting points, and should also hopefully give people an idea of where to start and how to go about studying those files themselves (there's a huge, huge amount of material in the ED files, so what I describe is just scratching the surface).

As for sliding feet, there's not one but two ways described to avoid sliding feet. So, sliding feet: check.
