~Sexy Toga Walk~

Aaaargh, the challenge - this animation was complicated. First it would spike when looped, and then the speed was too fast and Poser doesn't support scaling animation curves. I had to shift keyframe interpolation to slow the animation down, at the cost of motion smoothness.

Since the walking motion and the boob bounce were separated into different animation layers, interpolation introduced a lot of motion noise that later required more manual keyframe cleaning.

And then cloth simulation doesn't produce a loopable animation, but that's the way it is - simulations are unpredictable. The body motion loops fine, but the cloth simulation does not.

In the end, because of the time it would take to render, I disabled shadows and instead used per-material raytraced ambient occlusion nodes. It was still rendering too slow (in a 4GHz quad-core machine), so I pumped the pixel sampling rate and irradiance caching way down to speed it up. I think it still looks acceptable, all things considered. So much for just 60 animation frames! LOL
