[Bf-docboard] Walk cycles

[snowleopard.uncia24]

just an idea, use the cycles modifier to cycle bone and body motions and 
create a walk-in-place loop, parent the rig to an empty to move/rotate 
the model along an animated path, when cycling is done move rig out of 
the way, and replace with an identical un-animated rig in the same 
position, ready for further animation.
