Amen to the first post and this is a direct reply to it.
I don't think that time or care was taken on the run cycles' at all. Or even the walk cycles. If a wolf or a big cat ran like that...it would have broken its' knee joints or something similar before long. Even if it's was just going to be a generic wolf & lion run cycle, I feel they could have done it properly.
There isn't a lack of animation artists on dA or out there in the big wide world. I know a few, even those doing the cycles for that new game, Aerokai, is it? Can't spell at the moment ._. But still, come on...?
FH is great and all that, it is, but a tad more time could have been put into the models.
I'm not sure, but there are more updates coming along...maybe at some point in time, the models will change and improve?
