ok, so these are my first ever walking cycles, and i was looking for some pointers, as it is (obviously) very jerky and inconsistent.

I went off of a tutorial i found here:
http://www.thehowlingfantods.com/brickt … lktute.htm
is there a better tutorial somewhere?
Um, that looks more like waddling. But it had a high frame rate, which was good. That tutorial that you watched was wrong! You don't have to keep the legs straight, because regular humans move their legs. But good start, welcome to BiM.
Here is a very good one:

or here is a different walk cycle

The first cycle is waddling. Did you watch the whole vid?
But it had a high frame rate, which was good.

Whoops! Your walk cycle is very good. But NXTManiacs tutorial is, in my opinion, the best.
Also, some tips for being new:
Don't post too much, or double post
Don't teach or scold older members
Don't say you are great on your own, without anybody else supporting
Think before you post.
Have Fun!
These are some mistakes I made. Hope you don't make the same. But, if you do, try to sort it out fast.
^ The sheer amount of irony contained above makes me want to kill a puppy. And I like puppies.
Me tinks it be funeie. Mesa likes ironic tings. 
I feel like an idiot now.
I deleted the post, must've gotten carried away again. It's happened before. Sorry. Oh, and Noodle is not pointing at Jackpody.
sorry for my impertinence michaelsmovies, and I agree that the NXTManiacs tut is the best I've seen
I never said it was bad. It was actually better than my first walk cycle test. It is a good start.
Uh, hate to break it to you michaelsmovies, but Jackpody never posted in this thread as far as I am aware of.
-BG (a.k.a the member that's been on here for longer than you have. )
Yes he did, he just deleted it after I deleted mine. He deleted it because it looked like noodle was calling his post ironic.
-Michael( a.k.a. the member that's been on BiM shorter than BGanimations.)

I wouldn't call yourself "MM". Someone else is already called MMProductions, or MM for short. 
I edited it, but besides,I don't do it all the time. I only did it as a joke, did you read BGanimations' post?
