We've just revealed a new local at the Kajimba pub: Bill. Along with showing who he is and what he looks like, we're also giving away his character model and rig setup, under a creative commons license. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with. Check it out here.
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Unreal guys, thanks so much!
I just made a simple walk cycle for him.Actually this is my first animation in Blender. Trying to deal with shortcomings of ipo editor was a great struggle for me, but I managed to come this far. It is in progress and tried to make him look silly at best.

At the moment I have hate and love relationship with ipo and timeline editors of Blender. I used many other apps so it is not like I am a newbie. I was wodnering what would be the best way to understand these editors better. Do you know any tutorial or video that just focuses on ipo and action-time editor of Blender?
thanks
