I made sure I had the same pose for the start frame and the end frame. One thing I saw stated on tutorials on the internet was that you have to use one frame less than the complete walk cycle to do a cyclic walkcycle in the NLA editor. I found this to be untrue. With the last frame omitted I had the same jumps as you are experiencing now. As soon as I used the full walk cycle everything was smooth. I didn’t do anything special, I think.

One thing that strikes me is that your walk cycle is seamless whereas mine have an undesired "limping" effect from where the offset bone finishes a cycle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGxXIEEXMa0 Which technique did you use? Kudos on your project, cheers Hi, I was reading your post on BlenderARTISTS, saw a link to your blog and here I am…
