Thank you, Fredrik.
Sorry, I don't remember what codex or format I used, other than reduced the color depth to 256. That is essential I
guess.
No, I don't bend the minifig legs. I just let the straight legs oscillate 0 , -22.5 , -45 , -22.5 , 0 , 22.5 , 45 , 22.5
, 0 degrees.
I think I used this set of dat files to animate the minifig: http://home.swipnet.se/simlego/ldraw/mfwalk.zip (3 k)
Currently I am in the process of thinking out a flexible system of scripting animated LDraw objects. The difficult aim
is to make a framework where anyone could add own modules like Minifig.run, Minifig.jump, Minifig.stumble, Car.burnout
etc etc.
See http://home.swipnet.se/simlego/ldraw/lda2001.htm for details on the animation project.

Such a file would be viewable from inside a browser window, thus no external viewer program is needed. And besides, (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)
