I'm writing a new tool for path animation, my goal is to make it simple and intuitive to attach any rig, with any number of limbs and body controls, to a path and animate it walking or running along it. The final version will work for bipeds, quadrupeds, insects etc. and will include a function to bake the path animation back to the rig.
Update - quick test with a real rig here - vimeo.com/245035042
