Animation Mentor - class 2 - second assignment

This is a little animation exercise I did in Blender for my course at animation mentor. I used Nathan Vegdahl's excellent biped rig.

The exercise was to have a character walk in the wind. Instead of doing the cliche of having the character walking into a headwind, I had him jogging with the wind coming from the side.

So far it's all been done in Blender, but I'm slowly learning Maya too.
